Look at this beautiful "organic" engagement. Can't blame the Warpcast team for insisting on the Power Badge. I'm sure there is room for improvement, but just turning it off would not be great.

I wonder though: Is this unique to Farcaster or does X have this also and we just never see it b/c it's hidden right away?

Nope because then you could abuse that to censor. Client level filtering is good

API providers will just add a filtered flag and all clients will have some levels of filtering
