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.

Further: 1. Meta estimates that 10% of users on their products are potentially bots. 300 million accounts. Says it's hard a problem to solve (even for them). 2. web2 social networks can delete accounts. Farcaster cannot. Warpcast can label as spam / reduce visibility.

Important point here - decentralisation is a double edged sword.

What has the nerf on Warpcast to do with the decentralization of the protocol? Is the nerf protocol level?

I’m not talking about WC, I’m talking about Farcaster - You can’t promote an open and permissionless platform and then police who has an account or what those accounts are used for.
