Hard not to think this is a lot of bots, though? I had an account, but didn't make the jump from Twitter. May succeed next try, though.

Could they even mitigate bots without tying accounts to government ID? You’re gonna get bots anyway. I like it that at least it’s an open platform.

World token or whatever the Altman thing was was an attempt.

I'm torn. Agreed that allowing machine accounts is good. Not keen on jumping into a bot filled ecosystem. Especially with no way to see reputation that is more grounded in at least a presumably human element.

That is, if you allow bots, how do you limit bots signal boosting each other?
