Congrats to @dwr.eth and @v on smoothly adding a foundational web3 feature to your product! I’m excited to see how the Warpcast treasury will impact the future of your platform. I’ve chipped in to show my support, but I’m hesitant to put $100+ because I’m concerned about spam and bots. Ideally, I’d love for strangers (aka weak-tie-friends or new users) to have to pay a small fee to contact me. If you can make that happen, you’d be solving the main issue with email and all web2 messaging.

> because I’m concerned about spam and bots 1. Do you have priority mode on? It's available in Notifications > Settings 2. You can turn off inbound messages from people you don't follow

I think the team is missing the point. The current tools are too basic. I only hear from people I follow or prioritize, which doesn’t give room for new connections. Priority mode lets me prioritize people I know, but I need to already know I want to hear from them. Inbound messages from people I don’t follow are the same— I have to follow them first. This setup is all about “exploitation”—finding what I already know I want. The real power of the internet is in exploration—meeting people I didn’t expect but am glad I did. The problem is bots. They’re not worth following or discovering, and they wouldn’t pay to contact me anyway because it doesn’t fit their model. The real issue is that sending messages is free. Adding a small fee to contact me would reduce bots and make people think twice before reaching out. It’d fix the “original sin” of email—costing nothing to send but wasting the recipient’s time.
