What makes an account "inauthentic"? We're considering a new labelling system for inauthentic accounts. These accounts, often incorrectly called bots, will be hidden from like counts and other metrics in Warpcast. Inauthentic accounts give real people the ick because they're clearly trying to get value for their account at the expense of everyone else on the network.

We're looking for input from the community on behaviors that make an account inauthentic. It's important that the behavior is specific and deterministic, like: - follows 100+ users in 5 minutes - has the same pfp as 1000 other accounts - tags 100+ users asking them to follow them back. Please avoid suggestions that are subjective or hard to evaluate. - posts pictures copied from the internet (hard to evaluate) - posts slop or uninteresting content. (subjective)
