Warpcast's spam problem is out of control. It's far worse than Twitter, making it difficult to justify building anything on Farcaster. Will give priority mode another try, but that just hides the problem.

genuinely trying to understand

what "solves" this in a way that doesn't just hide it, but also doesn't make a permissioned network?

/cameron for content experiments. Helping Creators with /seemore. Yapping on /okbanger. Curating in /lounge. Dev + Veteran + HBS.

Warpcast does not give us the tools/settings to control our experience and decide what to hide. Prority mode, power badge, and channel mod mode are how they think it should work. The spam issue also stems from incentives and who is joining FC + why.

So your preference is a priority mode that you control?

Separately, do you see the incentives issue as a solvable probable?

Yes, a customizable priority mode lets users decide which algorithms and filters work best for their desired experience. 

WC is opinionated and very well funded, so they decide what incentives are allowed to be tested and proliferate on the platform.
