Farcaster

The active badge is going away.

Spammy accounts are aggressively gaming the system to get the badge. 
Making the rules stricter just makes it harder for legitimate users.

We’re past the point where a simple rule based system will work. We need something better.

Badges is just another word for reputation. Limiting it to the number of followers was never gonna work. But the power badge is still limited in its ability to detect legitimate, active users. Why not leverage open data to make more comprehensive determinations?

We've tried a lot of the onchain stuff, couldn't get it to work. Too many low quality accounts have credentials, balances, attestations etc.  

The best predictor of quality in our experience is "who likes your stuff". All the onchain signals can usually be purchased or grinded through by a dedicated airdrop farmer.

Btw, we could be wrong on this - and it would be easy to prove us wrong by building a better reputation system for FC. 

@neynar and others would likely pay for such a service!

💯 reputation has been a hot space to work in for several years now and web3 social is only accelerating the need for it
