some of your are worried you'll be misclassified as bots. which tells me you don't really know what moxie farmer bots look like. moxie farmer bots saturate cast replies with mechanical content, such as below. the markers: >casts too regularly (every five minutes, every hour, for 24+ hours) >casts are too regular (length, verbosity, emoji usage all drift together) >casts too often (wake casts 1000 times/ week; this user casts 1000/day) >is very poorly integrated (not followed by credible users)

I'd be less concerned with being labeled a bot if it hadn't already happened when I was casting as I always have (see this article) - https://paragraph.xyz/@degenaissancedigest/from-bad-bot-to-real-boy-to-power-badge?referrer=0xd5f45430f18f31FcB4b5129b618e24A9bafaC1e3 - my bigger concern is the lack of transparency in how ANY user is labeled/banned/jailed.

granted. and some of this is exacerbated by what is and what is NOT farcaster or warpcast and what ACTUALLY matters (or is just a machine's opinion). none of them can tell you precisely how they operate because it's trivially simple for a bot to walk around those parameters once disclosed. these "maybe you're a bot" frames have NO effect on how warpcast treats you and NO effect on the protocol level. they might reveal something useful about your casting habits, not much else. it's a confusing mess that upsets the humans (and that's about all it does)

Imagine if the rest of the world operated like this. What is the price, the speed limit, the penalty? What are known formulas for success/failure? What is the code snippet that works best? Where is the patchable exploit? Imagine if the answer to these and similar questions were, "well, we can't tell the humans because while that would make it simple/safe/better/faster for them, it would also do the same for bots." Wild that many people seem to believe this way of thinking will carry us forward instead of stalling momentum. Interested in what your counterpoint would be?

that some knowledge needs to be safeguarded from bad actors isn't surprising or new. you're over generalizing for effect; this is a narrow domain of knowledge specific to anti-bot measures, not an argument for keeping unnecessary secrets. but the "imagine the world is this way" is an intuition pump and my counter is simple: the world is not that way and it cannot be with, as you say "stalling momentum." Knowledge space is not flat.
