The spam filtering dilemma Sharing how we think about it so people can better understand: 1. Most people will only use social networks if they are fun 2. Casting something and getting dozens of spammy replies is not fun 3. If you get enough spammy replies, you'll just stop using the app 4. So, aggressively filtering for spam is necessary to keep your existing users happy 5. However, this means some good new users will hit spam filters. Understatement: this is a bad user experience for those people. It would be great to not have this happen. 6. But given the choice of who to make unhappy â an existing user who has invested a ton of time and energy into the network or a new user that is most likely to churn (top tier social networks lose 50% of users!), then you have to optimize for your existing users. 7. So does that mean you donât care about new users? No! Itâs existential to have new users be able to join Farcaster and find people to connect with â without being labeled as spam. 1/2

This is actually really cool, i never really had an issue with spam, maybe itâs because i donât reply a lot at once or maybe the power badge saved me, but i had a person whom i onboarded get thrown into spam (i donât think he replies too much or even replies at all but he still got thrown in, if it would do any good and if iâm seen as a âgood existing userâ i would like to vouch that he isnât a spammy user (8a)
