Farcaster

I used to think that bots on Farcaster were problematic because of spam, but it's bigger than that.

If I respond to a bot, I feel like an idiot who wasted his time building a connection with a ChatGPT wrapper. 

It makes me suspicious of new users, and I tend to respond primarily to people I already know. This means that it's harder for genuine new users to build relationships on the network.

It could be fine for social *media*, but it's bad for the social *network*. 

What would be the ways to mitigate that?

about to ship some improvements to the spam model that will make a lot of the bots go away. 

will be a constant cat and mouse game, but we will win in the long run.

Usually. But that definitely didn’t work here at all. English or bust.
