Curating /outcasters has become more challenging due to the increase in spam on Farcaster. So I have decided to run a new experiment:

Step 1: download list of all Power Badge users
Step 2: use list to filter top 1000 casts in last 7 days
Step 3: remove spammy users from list
Step 4: go back to step 1 and repeat weekly

I've just looked at the top 1000 casts based on most likes recieved since Sunday, April 21, and it turns out that @imthedude has casted 175 of them. That's 17.5% of the top-performing casts in the last three days. If this isn't spam, I don't know what is! But somehow, this person still has the power badge.

i’m the dude. i make art. i make memes. but, i don't make money. /actions /dude /designershumor /dankmemes /forecast /graphicdesign /getmotivated /newideasdaily

I thought your plan might have flaws. The power badge isn’t the best gauge of quality. Having said that, I have one so hopefully I don’t count in that statement 😁😁

The goal is to get back to having a clean feed to curate from when I pull up the top 1000 casts each week. It was such a pleasure to explore in the past. Now you will lose brain cells going through it. 

Subreddits show you a clean feed if you look at the top posts in last week, so why can't Farcaster?

I love that. I wish I was here just a little earlier to feel what is was like. I got a hint of it when I came in but then it changed pretty quickly.
