My Thoughts on the Neynar Score and Participation
1/3

So, we're already seeing some mini-apps set a 0.5 Neynar Score cutoff. You can access the app, but as soon as you try to actually do anything inside, that score message pops up. I'm honestly not sure if it's the right move to let an algorithm dictate whether you ca

Wanted to stay out of this one but @holland, the problem with your account Neynar score is you just genuinely aren't posting anything useful. I checked our Quotient score as well and you're not even in the database.

I want to give the benefit of the doubt here, but your signatures are screaming bot account. Reposted Degen app farm links, random follower base with almost no one with high score mostly in the Degen camp. Followers are all AI generated image accounts.

You're labeled as risky because you're not generating organic content and just reposting slop, and based on all priors your account *is* a spam bot account.

This particular post is quite surprising that you want apps to allow more spammers, but I'm not sure I agree.

2/2 
A user tries to join conversations and posts, but gets no engagement. They quit because it feels pointless. They stick to using mini-apps and get flagged as non-contributors. Bots follow them, for some reason, and they end up labeled as a bot. If I have to read manuals and create strategies just to raise my score, that goes against the very reason for using a social media platform.

I see initiatives to attract more users, which is good, but if they hit these same roadblocks, they'll quickly leave.
