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.

This feels like a very slippery slope. I hope it is done right. In the most extreme cases you lose massive user count because you are nipping buds long before they ever have a chance to bloom. Why not give individual users the tools to deal with these people (blocking etc) and then leave it up to us to decide who we do and don't want to see? Bots are one thing but legit users being pushed down the feed for being tagged as "annoying" is not the right move

Agreed. Individual autonomy is almost always the best course of action. Otherwise it’s slippery slope headed in the direction of censorship.
