I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

Sad to hear that, I’ve always enjoyed your posts. 

There are a lot of bots that keep trying to get into Farcaster because of potential airdrops. All of them pay money to sign up. 

Bots can earn hundreds of dollars of tokens, so they have a lot of incentive to come here, much more than Twitter. 

We’ve spent a lot of time fighting bots and developing machine learning algorithms to flag spam. It’s not perfect but we will keep improving it.

Would Warpcast ever implement a spam filter marketplace?

Announcing Farcaster Labels

Labels are an open standard for adding context to accounts and casts.  Any developer can provide a labelling service to other Farcaster or Ethereum apps. 

We're releasing Warpcast's spam labels, which will tell you if an account is spammy or not. https://t.co/Oca1lGypQU
