Why did my follower account decrease?

1. Yesterday, we changed how Warpcast counts followers by excluding users our algorithm flags as spammy.

2. Twitter (at least historically) and Instagram both do this.

3. We've had an uptick in spam recently, so as part of improving our spam models we decided to make this change.

4. View this less as losing followers and more us giving you a more accurate (but not perfectly accurate!) view of your audience. 

5. There are additional improvements we can make here and we will likely do that over the coming weeks and months.

6. Important: this change only affects Warpcast’s display—it doesn’t alter protocol data; those accounts still follow you. And if you follow a spammy account, i.e. you don't find it spammy, you'll see their casts.

7. Third-party apps can access Warpcast’s open-source spam labels.

8. Please see the next cast for other thoughts I've shared.

In case you missed it — if you noticed your follower count decreased, we changed how we count followers last week.

I just noticed I already have 833 followers atm, 56 more than 15h ago...

and i can tell this is impossible, because I was checking who followed me

when I went to sleep and I woke up, my last follower was the same person but the number just increased🤔

I think bots are gaining traction again😭

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

they are already gaining traction again
