Gm everyone,

Today I see that Warpcast decided to label the tool /impact is building to improve the ecosystem as spam. There was no warning.

This is a tool designed specifically to help discover (and financially reward) builders & creators based on their impact to Farcaster, and not just based on what the engagement algos favor.

As I already said, Warpcast needs to fundamentally rethink its spam policy.

There should be more categories than just regular user vs spammer.

Tips are not spam. Bots that support the network are not spam. These should all be in separate categories, and users should have the ability to decide if they want to see them or not. Not just put everything under the fold.

As I also said before, I'm a Farcaster permabull, so I'll keep developing tools to empower users & communities on FC.

Today I'm also very bearish on WC - far too many people already left the network bc of algos that suppress artists' frames, aggressively label users as spammers, and generally make newcomers unwelcome

Discussed with Mike, the problem is some spammy users triggering the bot to mention other users. 

I like mike's suggestions of letting bots opt in to a tag, we'll do that soon. But in the mean time: 

1. If your bot is replying to the person that invoked it, that's fine. 

2. If your bot is replying to or mentioning people that did not invoke it, that's less fine. Especially if a user can trigger your bot to mention another user

literally today I bought fan tokens moxie, and for some reason two bots sent me notifications at once, for me this is considered spam, since I don't need this information, because I already know what I'm buying. And on top of all this, I'm not even subscribed to them
