I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

Sorry to see you go.

Can I ask how likes and recasts from bits negatively affect you?  Do you get notifications or something?

It’s a genuine question.  I actually find the bot problem here less annoying than X so your perspective is surprising.

I don’t like to see fake followers / fake engagement numbers bc it ruins the experience on other social media platforms. 

I regularly monitor performance of accounts or channel on X and TG for certain people suspected of cheating so it’s become noticeable if it’s not organic.

Ah so since automated likes/recasts are associated with scammy behaviour, seeing them on a social network makes the whole network seem more scammy?

I can understand that.

It's a tough problem, especially on an open social network.
