Why don't you clean up "the bots"? Useful to be precise here: "bots" is a catch all term that people use to describe low effort, uninteresting or otherwise off-topic content. However, a "bot" is traditionally thought of as a programmatic account, i.e. controlled by a script or software. e.g. bot net When people on Farcaster refer to "bots" they are more often referring to actual people using a mobile device (with the aid of translation tools and ChatGPT) who post uninteresting content (from their pov). They are casting and replying in hopes of appearing to be a "real account" because they have learned that turns into a future economic reward in crypto. Recent tipping meta has increased the expected value of these accounts. It's possible to algorithmically label these accounts, but then you create a "shadowban" meta. So you massively increase the number of support messages and complaints. This was the state of the world before priority mode.

is there any way to filter 24/24 active users? and see the number? if this exists you can easily filter that and ban them from farcaster. Those are purely automated bots that are faking the system. and you can add a list of the useful bots for projects so they don't get banned.

It's a cat and mouse game. Every time you come up with a rule, they will adjust the strategy.

yes, they will edit the activity of the bot to stop for 1 or two hours, but this will heal the system for a while until they build a big numbers of bots and make them work again. 1- Also I ask if there are available data that shows interaction, I can work on as a Data Scientist, I want to use Gephi to Draw the network chart for the first 100 active users. 2- Is it revealed how you weight interaction? I mean for example is recast the number one valuable interaction? (in data science we can weight recast as 2 for example, reply is 1.5, quote cast is 1.5, like is 1)
