PSA If you're majority casting low effort stuff like this, Warpcast is going to start filtering this out of feeds for people who don't follow you. Still trying our approach of education / assume good intent (esp. since people are paying money to the protocol)!

And for those who think this is a losing battle—maybe! But high ROI to try education (doesn't require any engineering work). But our plan is to start filtering this. And remember, you're free to choose a client that has a different approach. Similar to email services having different spam filters.

if these are bots, why would education work?

Wait! Do I see each post’s views/impressions in this screenshot? Is this going to be released to all?

One solution could be to: - create a Fortune Cookie channel - have these casters find their way there - have a builder make a web app that randomly serves a fortune cookie cast

Maybe have a pop-up screen upon opening WC the 1st time, that displays the latest ground rules and an “Accept/Acknowledge” button? And have those available after that in a menu? I feel like many new users cannot find out easily about what’s acceptable on WC, or find out the hard way through a shadowban.

I'm in favor of filtering this stuff out, but I'm curious how it's being done. Is it a simple check for repetitive posts and single word replies, or is there some sort of more advanced AI?

Even if I got filtered out, this is something I support and would like to see the result of it after 2 months.

Great. I’m tired of blocking low engagement casts, and honestly as a paranoid security person I’m glad you’re taking action. I have no proof of malicious behaviour yet but these low engagement casts make me more skeptical. Also, do I see viewcount 👀

Is the filtering/sorting algorithm for Warpcast publicly available anywhere? I think this is a great move, but I can imagine some people getting up in arms about it. Having more transparency on it would probably shut them up.

The effort is nice to try to minimize spam/worthless casts, it would also be ad-hoc imo, if you highlight the algorithm to boost the worthy ones. Tbh in my feed I find a lot of interesting and diverse posts, which is why I spend more time here than on X. I say this because I believe it is pretty obvious...

These look like bots. Perhaps they are trying to amass followers (by way of engagement albeit low quality) to eventually sell the account (swapd for example)

Warpcast is undoubtedly a high-level protocol. Now I'm left wondering if I'm going to be able to live up to it.

and what about this? not a direct malicious behaviour, however, annoying to see programmatic likes
