Seems to me that shitty cheap engagement attempts got way worse since Moxie was introduced?

Anecdotal but I can definitely feel it. 

Is there any data that shows that it made farcaster better / worse?

Is Moxie farming really a thing or are we chasing ghosts? 

If you think you're being farmed due to your @moxie.eth Far Rank and engagement worth. You can use this @dune.eth dashboard below to compare August stats to your replies on your casts from before the launch

Just input your FID and hit run.

e.g. for @dwr.eth it seems there is just little impact. Same for @ted 
There are more replies but they also casted a bit more in August

This dashboard cannot say anything about the genuineness of replies
