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.

I like the definition of "inauthentic activity" over spam.

The best way I've been able to identify this is going to their profile, look at their replies...often I'll see responses every minute or less.

Can I share my thoughts on your comment? (This isn’t negative at all.) People like you with a power badge, high ranking, or as a developer get attention even without replying, but for most people like me, in the middle or lower ranks, if I don’t reach out or reply, not many will come to me. Many copy and paste the same replies, but I remember each person’s situation and respond sincerely because I’m smart like that, haha. It’s sad that responding quickly can get me flagged as spam. You’re my friend—do you really think my content or I come across as spam?
