I just shipped a transformer-based SocialNLP toolkit for @farcaster.  This library can possibly help construct new ML-based feed algorithms based on text classification instead of relying on manual curation, recasts/reactions, and chronological ordering.

Check it out:

Nice. Do you suspect that there's a big difference between the text of a spam cast and a legitimate one?

- we'll first have to come up with heuristics on what classifies spam (i.e. create a test set based on what users report)
- and then train a model to minimize loss
- the nature of spam can change, and we'll have to re-tune

in short — it depends on how good we're at classifying ("labeling") spam
