Let’s talk about it on the State of the Union call. All are welcome. RSVP and you’ll get the link for the recording!

I wonder how much of this has to do with Moxie, both from a spam-labeled users’s standpoint (maybe over-replying without reciprocation by the original caster) and the original caster (maybe hesitating to reply due to Moxie implications). It does seem odd that we saw such an uptick in the number of spam labels.

I’m being farmed hard and I’m ignoring low effort replies that I can’t easily see the context in my notifications.

Others have taken a similar approach recently too (myself included), and that’s sort of my point. I feel like it’s helping weed out a lot of actual spammers, and unfortunately some legitimate users are getting caught up in it as well.

Yeah, you’ve done more than your part to raise awareness. I feel like it’s up to each individual now to consider the potential implications/consequences anytime they reply. It’s unfortunate it has to be that way, but until there’s a better way of reliably differentiating bots/intentional spam, maybe there is no other choice? Regardless, it’s sort of an awkward place to be in.

I’m casting about it constantly. I don’t know what else to do.
