Farcaster

I used to think that bots on Farcaster were problematic because of spam, but it's bigger than that.

If I respond to a bot, I feel like an idiot who wasted his time building a connection with a ChatGPT wrapper. 

It makes me suspicious of new users, and I tend to respond primarily to people I already know. This means that it's harder for genuine new users to build relationships on the network.

It could be fine for social *media*, but it's bad for the social *network*. 

What would be the ways to mitigate that?

I learned about OpenPassport at ETHWarsaw, a project funded by the @ethereum foundation.

Could be a good way to fight the bots issue on Farcaster.

OpenPassport (ex zkPassport) can be one such solution: https://warpcast.com/tempetechie.eth/0x48228e49 

Basically you use your passport to prove you're a human, without revealing any details about yourself.
