for part 1, point 8a, "good existing users on the network reporting incorrect labels is really valuable here" -- how do you do this? I know how to report users as spam but not how to flag spam filtered users as not spam. If someone is marked spam and I like or reply to them does it count that as a report of incorrect spam label? or if not, could/should it?

I think the spam issue stems from people thinking there is a Farcaster token/airdrop coming. At the beginning of the year, tons of influencers on 𝕏 told followers to come to Farcaster and engage to get the airdrop.

nice write up. especially good to clarify that 'proof of humanhood' is not the solution to fighting spam. spam is a relative/subjective matter.

This was an awesome read. Always looking for solutions instead of whining. Also if we could get new follows and new users more on peoples feed it might be helpful to prevent them being labeled.

Great article. Cool to see if from your side. Glad you guys included a "warning" after the first offence as new accounts fall into the spam bucket more often than not. I narrowcast for "spammy" posts (allowance frames/etc) so only channel followers who are interested will see. I wonder if others are doing this.

I mean, casting things and never getting replies will also make you stop using the app 🤷🏻‍♂️

How about a system that doesn't ask for proof of humanity right from account creation, but instead asks for it when removing spam status? I think this issue could be solved if we can quickly and properly correct any mistaken labeling.

I know it's a work in progress, but it's nice to know that you are willing to improve your "spam fitering"! I think a and b are especially important. If there is a way to recover from being misidentified, hope can wait. And with a warning, you can think about which of your actions are being misinterpreted as such. I hope this initiative comes to fruition soon! 🐥

thank you for addressing this it's great that we'll now receive warnings before being labeled as spam but will this feature also inform us about the specific behavior that triggered the warning? because that would help us understand and correct the issue

The challenge is real, but also the need to reduce friction is important so that new people (real ones) come on. You have also introduced the block features, combined with mute, combined with new channel features. Social networks will always be a bit of ‘organized chaos,’ give users some agency to try and sort it out themselves without the algo, that’s my view.

I like that it’s “EXISTENTIAL” to have new users join Warpcast. Typos can be so poetic.
