Spam Labels have been public for a month and we've seen significant updates to the number of casters with Level 2 Labels (the good one) and the consequences of the Level 0 Label (the worst one) via the Great Follower Purge of February 2025. 

With a resurgence of bot-like accounts this weekend, the algorithm will only get more aggressive. 

I've made significant revisions on this article as the team has given us more clarity around the algorithm as well as included resources on how to save your friends from spam jail and a thread on the teams thinking about spam. 

Please remember this is guidance, not gospel. The algo is secret.  Always appreciate any feedback or areas I can clarify.

The Public Spam Labels should be updated tonight. If the current data says you have a label, do not lose hope.

The labels are updated daily but we only see the update publicly once a week. You may have been upgraded already. Want to test?

Reply to this cast and I will reply back if I got the notification. If I get the notification, I would bet money that your label is updated and we will see that reflected by Friday AM!

I’m still on label 1 i think. The algorithm doesn’t like me, although, as it seems to me, I’m making not bad content

I did NOT get a notification about your reply.

sad sad. this really cuts down on communication opportunities

It’s definitely annoying. But remember if you are a member of the channel, you get more visibility. Lean into channels and that will help.

What does the process of moving to label 2 mostly depend on? Communication? It’s hard to communicate with new people (not spammers). In the pursuit of communication with label 2, you end up resembling a spammer yourself because they rarely respond (they don’t see the messages)
