2/10🧵 Misleading Information is Doomed to Fail.

Experienced users of Farcaster can swiftly discern spam from authentic content. The belief that one can mislead others through deception is fundamentally flawed.

Not only does spam erode trust, but so do acts of forgery and plagiarism, whether it be in writing, art, or any form of creative expression. When users encounter deceptive practices, they lose faith in the integrity of the platform.

Without trust, the foundation of meaningful interaction crumbles. Genuine contributions are what foster a vibrant community; therefore, misleading information and copied works only serve to isolate individuals and diminish the overall value of the discourse.

3/10🧵Ruining the User Experience is a Red Line.

Farcaster and the Web 3.0 space are built on quality and constructive interactions.

Spamming is a disrespectful act towards the value of this space and a source of annoyance for others. Users are here to learn and share knowledge, not to face purposeless spam.

4/10🧵Users' Time is Valuable; Don’t Waste It.

Spam merely leads to wasted time. Farcaster is designed for meaningful discussions and authentic content, not repetitive and worthless advertisements.

The value of this network lies in its rich and useful content.

5/10🧵Algorithms Will Leave You in the Shadows.

If you think spam attracts attention, you’re completely mistaken! FC’s algorithms effectively identify and hide spam from users. No one even bothers to glance at it.

To see the difference, compare your engagement statistics with tools like /airstack or /farquest spam keeps you on the margins.

6/10🧵Don’t Compromise Security and Privacy.

In addition to being worthless, spam can pose security threats. Suspicious links or misuse of personal information are consequences of spam.

Farcaster is a community built on trust and security, and you must strive to maintain this environment.

7/10🧵Who Do We Support?

At Farcaster, we support individuals who produce valuable and credible content. Seek out those who share their thoughts and experiences and strive to create a constructive and positive community.

We should help each other strengthen this valuable space.

8/10🧵How to Add More Friends to Your Circle?

Focus on seeking friends who prioritize authentic interactions and meaningful contributions. This approach not only helps you build strong connections but also positions you as an influential figure within the Farcaster community.

By surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals, you can create a supportive environment that fosters quality engagement rather than spam.

9/10🧵How to Identify Who the Spammers Are?

It’s often straightforward to identify the true intentions of individuals based on their responses. Common signs of spam include:

1) Repetitive and meaningless messages

2) Irrelevant advertisements and opportunistic behavior for personal gain

3) Suspicious or malicious links intended for deception

4) Content posted solely to attract quick attention

5) Unhelpful comments that are unrelated to the discussions

6) Attempts to generate fake engagement merely for tips or rewards

7) Targeting others and expecting them to react without context

8) Forgery, plagiarism, or theft of content and artistic works

By recognizing these red flags, you can better navigate interactions and foster a more meaningful community.

10/10🧵Identifying them through their accounts is often straightforward:

1) Their OpenRank scores do not align with their standing.

2) Evaluating their Airstack badge and influence can be a useful tool for detection.

3) A Streak badge does not necessarily indicate credibility; it is an exception.

4) Repeated interactions within a specific circle of spammers in their post comments can easily aid in identifying them.

5) Being an artist does not automatically mean one is not a spammer; many may be both artists and engaged with those whose intent is spam. Therefore, if you are interacting with them, you are likely on the wrong path.

Creating interactions in a decentralized space without a structured plan and clear goals can be truly frustrating. We’ve gone through various stages and know that at the beginning of our journey, we may still lack a clear roadmap. However, we’re not meant to go on like this forever; we will gradually find our path.

Many users seek help and guidance, while others may be looking to take advantage of opportunities for profit, and some may even engage in sabotage! This diversity in a community seems entirely natural to me because the world is moving towards decentralization, and it is the people who determine the direction we take in such environments.

Thus, it is essential to engage in this space with greater care and awareness, defining specific goals for ourselves. This not only helps us progress on our paths but also contributes to strengthening the community. Together, we can create a positive and constructive space where everyone can leverage each other's abilities and resources.

Content, in my view, is everything! Whether it’s software, an article, an art, a photo, a story, or an unfortunate experience, each of these can play a significant role in improving our lives.

If you’re unfamiliar with FC and the principles guiding those who engage with you, it’s clear that you don’t have a solid strategy for enhancing your profile. Without this understanding, no matter how hard you try, you won’t achieve the results you’re looking for.

Finally, thank you for taking the time to read this article. I hope you found it useful. 🔥 LFG.

1/10🧵 Trust and Credibility are the Foundations of Interaction.

Many users constantly complain about being ignored, but they never ask themselves why. The answer is simple: worthless content! If we accept responsibility for all our wrong decisions, we can then move on to the next stage of self-improvement. Otherwise, we will remain trapped in a vicious cycle of endlessly toxic behavior. This acceptance is crucial for growth and maturity on our journey.

Spam has no place in the world of credibility. FC users are alert and discerning; they can easily distinguish between valuable and deceptive content. This platform is meant for sharing deep, quality thoughts, not shallow and misleading content.

I agree with much of what you said in principle, in practice i personally have felt the sting of a poorly crafted algorithm.
The first spam Algo V released shadow banned so many people that were not spammers. fwiw the had to scrap it after a month but much damage was done and only the most dedicated users stayed.
Japanese users seem to be unfairly targeted in both these algos.
Relying on code with no human oversight going through the spam list is hubris.
It could be a way to finer tune it imo and DAU isn’t high enough to make this insurmountable.

Thanks for all these useful info 
What you do for the community is priceless brother @compez.eth

Good write up, thanks for taking the time to publish

This is slightly off topic, but have you noticed that your frames are all collapsed now too for non-followers?

Woaw!!

What a valuable thread @compez.eth 

If we would all work together we can make this a safe and wonderful place again.

It’s sometimes hard to bring the value and be seen…

I read... Thank you for your constructive and good text. 🙏💎

😊Thank you for informing us. I really didn't know what to do, and now I'm aware thanks to you. 
I hope that we will have a better society in front of us. 🙏

The best sentence of this text is this: Content, in my view, is everything!  Whether it's software, an article, an art, a photo, a story, or an unfortunate experience, each of these can play a significant role in improving our lives.

It was interesting and thought-provoking content, @compez.eth .  Another way to recognize spam is that they don't even allow themselves to read the entire text 😉😉
