Some thoughts on spam on Farcaster and how we tackle it. First question - What is spam? The naive answer is "automated activity" but this isn't right. Over 75% of spam we find comes from real humans who have phones, wallets and x accounts. The best definition is "inauthentic activity". It's that feeling you get when you realize that someone who is following, liking or replying to is doing it to benefit themselves and not because they're interested in you.

if you're interested in the technical details we had two overlapping issues: 1. our hubs were restarting frequently for unknown reasons. this was causing 1-2 minute delays as they came back up. 2. warpcast backend saw increased load and a mini-outage for a few minutes last night. team found and fixes the issues soon after.

New on Warpcast: updated home feed design - Casts in channels now have a label at the top with the logo - Casts are slimmed down: username-only, merged the action buttons with counts, moved Bookmarks to the kebab menu (top right) - Channel circles have been retired

Doing an experiment: Balaji's network state ideology vector quiz, but for zuzaluans. https://bafkreigiakz326teebrwa4cgsr7jqiprjybwdpiaj2bf6dgacmmmadjcni.ipfs.w3s.link/ I'm curious to see how network school and the various zuzalu communities differ. Paste your answer strings in replies!

gm – today is penny's gotcha day! we adopted her from a kill shelter in 2019. she was emaciated (weighed just over 10 lbs) and badly behaved, suffering from severe PTSD. at one point we almost returned her due to her continual outbreaks. over time we showered her with affection and today she's much healthier (nearly 20 lbs!), friendlier and means the world to us! the vet estimates she's around 8-9 years old. 🥳

Generative AI is helping me write code, make drawings and learn. Crypto is helping me make international payments, use more open social networks, and get a new class of supplementary news via polymarket. What is the metaverse doing?
