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?

This is why we need to start implementing solutions such as OpenPassport (ex zkPassport) in web3 social apps.

Also looking forward to the stealth ZK EU ID solution being developed by @pmuens.eth 😎

Sure, but you'll have a harder time scanning thousands of passports. As opposed to spinning out thousands of bots, as many sybil attackers do.

While it doesn't completely resolve the problem with fake accounts, it at least significantly reduces it.

Sounds kinda weak? I could just scan any passport. Who makes sure that there is no id theft?

Wow! Thanks for sharing the light

If only they could give it a thought or at least try to

As far as I know, OpenPassport is already built, so it can be used immediately. 

Warpcast could integrate it so that anyone who scanned their passport has e.g. a "human checkmark" next to their name. 

And they would have a higher reputation score in the Warpcast's internal reputation system (which already exists, but we don't know how it works).

If something like an OpenPassport was built, how do you think it'd be integrated to Warpcast so we can identify the real lads!
