"I'm not a spammy, I'm a real person not a bot." or "Just use proof of humanity to solve spam."

1. Spam is relative: you might not find something spammy but another person might find it spammy.

2. If you are casting in your home feed or to people who chose to follow you, then it's by definition not spammy

3. If you are casting *at* someone else, then their opinion does matter. It's no different than walking up to someone on the street and trying to strike up a conversation with them.

4. Fundamentally, spam is unwanted inbound that tries to get someone's attention (literally what spam email is).

5. Humans can be spammy and bots can be not spammy.

6. What proof of humanity does is limits how fast new accounts can get created, i.e. if you want to create 1000 accounts, you now have to get 1000 proof of humanity credentials. That's friction.

7. However, if you have proof of humanity, you can still be spammy (and still hook your account up to ChatGPT, etc.).

I’m spammy, I’m not a real person, I’m a bot
