Easy heuristic for quality of a decentralized social network:

1. go the feed of the founder

2. do they post more on their decentralized social network than Twitter?

3. do they get higher quality engagement on average, i.e. non spammy replies?

I have also felt this first-hand by simply using Farcaster and Lens (though no data to back it up).

Interactions on Farcaster feel more real, users feel more engaged, and overall feels like there’s way fewer bots.

Why is that? What is Farcaster doing right that others aren’t?

I've been a of the opinion make it paid to stop the bots, pleasantly surprised to see it executed on Farcaster. There's a lot of good UX well done here, I tried a lot of DeSoc, none of them are this quality. Theres a fine balance to hit!
