When spam labels were updated this week, 1,400 people went from “not spammy” to “spammy”. What do you think people are doing to trigger the algorithm? Is it just getting more aggressive? Always looking to update my guidance and appreciate any feedback.

Sucks being hidden in replies. There have been a few products I really wanna test out and I comment early on casts that are asking for testers and never get a response 😒 

Kinda seems like the same accounts keep getting all of the perks and the rest of us are just too low in the ranks to be seen

1) numbers 4 and 5 seem counterintuitive 
2) this feels a bit like a circus but if I squint I guess I can be convinced that it’s exciting to be seeing this play out in real time (but I hate being the one stuck in spam purgatory)
3) at a fundamental level it is disheartening as a new person to try and engage genuinely with the big names only to be marked “spam”. 
4) it seems like the “spam” label in many cases just means “doesn’t start conversations”. That’s an important factor for rewards but it didn’t seem like the opposite is “spam”

I have watched @mcilroyc  & @stashbox  get suppressed by spam labels this week.

Feels more aggressive this week, but it’s still early.

I’ve been very intentional this week about trying to tag one or 2 people into a thread that I think they will actually respond to. Connecting people is key. We’ve learned the hard way you aren’t going to just run into people organically on Farcaster. That’s just not true.

I just wish my voice helped more. 

maybe I need to rickroll some people into helping others — lure them with jokes and memes and then bait and switch, they are interacting with someone new!
