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.

"Just use proof-of-humanity" See the point about real human using a mobile device. That doesn't solve the problem. "Just use another social network signal" Plenty of "bot" accounts on Twitter, also now on GitHub because of Starknet.

PoH is a solution for sybils, not for low effort content Still worth considering though imo, as I think there is some degree of sybiling going on here

There's likely some, but anecdotally sign up on Warpcast happens via App Store and that's hard to game from a payment standpoint. Possible, but much more likely to be manual.

@baubergo-
How about adding a "limited interaction" mode to the app making the account mostly "read-only" until PoH is completed?
