Spam filtering is coming to Warpcast. Over the last 3 months, we've labelled thousands of spammy accounts by hand and @akshaan has carefully trained an ML model to do this automatically. We're rolling out this model starting today, and it will significantly improve the user experience.

Warpcast won't show casts from spammers in public spaces. They won't show up in the channels, replies and notifications of people who don't follow them. Warpcast does promise that content will always be visible to followers (sufficient decentralization), even if a user is labelled spammy.

Our spam model is going to start labelling new accounts today, and over time will roll out to 100% of accounts. The labels aren’t visible at this time, though we plan to make them publicly available to other applications just like the power badge.

in itself a good thing, i would like it if it is recognizable for the user that he was tagged as spam and the option is either automatically unblocked for a limited period of time, 1/2 👇🏻

maybe something like for logins the first violation 1 day, second violation 3 days etc. and a clear announcement with a link to the exact rules so that people recognize what they are doing wrong and can change it.
