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.

What about discord ways of handling bots on each channel? All of those are financially too expensive?

Discord is centralized and can delete accounts.

But I'm mostly talking about the various things each channel use to filter accounts like fancy captchas and other stuff. I guess they're too expensive on FC level?
