gm AMA — Farcaster, Warpcast, tech, etc.

a little late here but - I’ve seen an uptick of Farcaster-friendly automation stuff - onchain-action-posting bots, mostly. 

What’s the FC policy on this sort of stuff? I think it’s awesome if contained but worry about an influx of such bots negatively affecting the signal:noise ratio that I love about FC.

Not sure I understand?

Also it’s a permissionless protocol. There’s no policy. :)

Warpcast is an app in the App Store so is required to have it. We take it into account for our spam flags on Warpcast.

But Farcaster is a protocol.

also, a followup - for my own edification - when should the “Report User” function be used, if no policy? 

(I’ve only used it once before on an acct that was exclusively posting malicious links IIRC - but now am wondering! I think no permissionless is fantastic, just curious re how that jives w “reporting”)

- lotsa new posts by fully automated bots created by FC users 
- bots post based on onchain actions (eg “x user sold or bought y token”) 
- this is cool/good IMO but wonder if there might be a point where these bots create aggregate noise v signal 

& makes sense re permissionless lol - sry if q is odd/confusing :o
