Honestly, the new channel changes are genius. There’s a huge spam problem on Farcaster and a lot of it is from reply engagement farming and extremely low effort replies. The Farcaster team has now put the responsibility on us as channel host to filter our own spam. If our channels are full of spam it’s our fault because we invited the spammers. Don’t invite spammers into your channel. If your home feed is full of spam it’s because you’re following the wrong people. Unfollow them and use the button that says “show fewer like this” on your home feed to clean it up. When channel changes go into effect, if a channel is full of spam, complain to the host and have them kick out the spammers, and if the host does nothing move on to another channel. If your own casts are getting spammed, mute and block all the spammers. In a few weeks the spam problem should be completely resolved. Right? Changing the way channels work is a fascinating experiment to force social behavior to change for the better.

This is similar to the Reddit way, which works pretty well. Only problem is that moderators have no tool to get a signal (downvote and/or flag) from users about who is misbehaving - probably not a big deal while DAU is so low, but in the future there'll need to be a solution. Maybe a @ds8 extension 😉

I honestly can’t wait to see what folks come up with for 3rd party moderation tools.
