What you can control, however, is using words according to what they *actually* mean

Hence, continuing to report DAU – where the "U" maps to paid accounts vs. users – is incredibly deceptive/dishonest

Every permissionless protocol have its cryptokitties moment. 
You cannot stop people to do those things unfortunately, unless you need to ask permission to someone. 
Every chain experience spam at some point, only the tough one survive.

Tipping through replies isn't necessarily the problem

It's the not mitigating against CIB (coordinated inauthentic behavior) and platform manipulation, more broadly, that's the problem

This is something Warpcast (and all clients, frankly) should be focusing on imo

What changes would you make? Would you simply disallow devs from adding tipping through replies, or is there another solution you have in mind?

Not surprising data.  Degen has been driving growth more than frames but I do think that first spike in February was more about frames than degen

I mentioned this before but frames caused the first spike, degen caused the second.
