It seems we’re exploring the bounds of a new “pick two” trilemma:
1) free to post
2) free of spam
3) free to connect with anyone
The fundamental problem is that new users and spammers will be soon indistinguishable. LLMs will make sure that profiles are properly filled in with icons, the posts are unique, etc.
I worry that IP filtering, rate limiting and anti-spam algos will just consume your time as you fight one fire after another and spammers quickly adapt to whatever you just did. With every fix, new users will lose visibility without recourse.
I’m just thinking it’s best to solve the problem at the deeper level. eg. WoT plus an onboarding process for new users.
