Hey everyone — a lot of new faces on Farcaster after giving people with an Active Badge a batch of invites. We’re going to revisit the feed algos this week to increase signal and think through a v1 spam / airdrop farmer for all Farcaster apps to leverage. Permissionless sign ups will bring new challenges. :)

Have you considered of enabling sibil resistance / proof of humanity tools for people who wish to verify as real account?

I have spent some time as a Reddit mod in a crypto sub that doles out erc-20 community points tied to engagement and I will be the first to say, it does not work. Fighting farmers in this space is like damming a river with your bare hands. But…I’m sure there’s a way we haven’t thought of yet.

I think it ultimately goes back to people joining communities that curate the type of accounts and content that fit them instead of the loud and messy town hall that twitter became

Thats where web3 social can differentiate, creators and content producers do not need to have the same distribution as in they need in web2 to make a living or achieve their goals. If we end up with the same biz model that encourages engagement & click baits , we achieved nothing

I wouldn’t say curating access is the answer, but since web3 is data open we should curate our personal feeds with any arbitrary criteria our heart desires (this token minter / > 1 eth paid in gas / gitcoin passport holders only). These are v limiting examples :D

Signaling quality content is hard, in my experience farmers will find a way to game the system and “quality” does not mean the same thing for everyone.

Agree the model needs to change. Web3 brings identities and history to internet handles, do we need like and follow metrics or can we focus on experiences and interests and shared positive engagement.
