āFarcaster must remove all the botsā This is a worrying line of thinking Iām seeing more often. The argument goes that itās not enough to hide uninteresting content. It *must* be removed from the protocol. That is, someone must judge the worthiness of accounts and delete them from the protocol.

Ethereum does not judge the worthiness of your transaction. If you pay the fee, you can make it happen. Even email doesnāt ban accounts. It only filters spam into a separate inbox. It is very important for credible neutrality that no one has the power to delete accounts that they do not like.

No one likes spammy FC accounts. No one wants XEN to take up all the block space on Ethereum. No one wants spam in their inbox. But the solution is not to have some arbiter who bans things at the protocol level that they do not like.

The right solution is quality filters - build tools that filter out content that is not interesting to you. Priority mode is our first step in this direction. Itās not perfect but itās MUCH better than what came before and we will keep improving it.
