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?

about to ship some improvements to the spam model that will make a lot of the bots go away. 

will be a constant cat and mouse game, but we will win in the long run.

Here some lovely kitties (I mean, artists) who got trapped by accident. Seeing their genuine likes and replies being hidden makes me sad 😿

Looking forward to the algo improvement!
