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.

We see the efforts the team puts in to make this place better for all of us. Please don’t label me as spam.. it feels like my casts don’t have the reach they used to. Are users punished for not being obsessed with this app? I took a few days off and feels like that really hurt me here..
