Honestly, the new channel changes are genius. There’s a huge spam problem on Farcaster and a lot of it is from reply engagement farming and extremely low effort replies. The Farcaster team has now put the responsibility on us as channel host to filter our own spam. If our channels are full of spam it’s our fault because we invited the spammers. Don’t invite spammers into your channel. If your home feed is full of spam it’s because you’re following the wrong people. Unfollow them and use the button that says “show fewer like this” on your home feed to clean it up. When channel changes go into effect, if a channel is full of spam, complain to the host and have them kick out the spammers, and if the host does nothing move on to another channel. If your own casts are getting spammed, mute and block all the spammers. In a few weeks the spam problem should be completely resolved. Right? Changing the way channels work is a fascinating experiment to force social behavior to change for the better.

I feel like I could be better with who I interact with on my casts. It’s a catch-22, in a way. I don’t want to risk ignoring new, legitimate users just because they’re buried in the “see more” section of my replies, but I also probably end up replying to bots and perpetuating the issue.

This is my fear. By using likes as my read receipt I’m giving moxie to low effort replies and therefore encouraging it. So I’m not going to do it anymore. I was trying to be nice but the amount of one word replies is insane and needs to stop. It’s fine between friends, but not when you don’t know someone.
