One misconception I see about spam labeling: "I'm a real human. I'm not a bot."

Claiming "I'm not a bot" doesn't change the quality of your content. If you're farming replies and not being thoughtful, that's spam.

And saying "Oh, I was just hoping to make some money, I'll do better in the future" doesn't work. Because every spammer will say the same thing.

It's not hard to not be spammy. Just cast a little less, be a little more thoughtful.

"Why do you keep telling people what to do?"
"Stop being a hall monitor!"
"People aren't going to change."

Sure, but better to be clear upfront when we start tweak the spam labeling algorithms.

re: hall monitor — yes, I am. Quality is what drives growth, that requires rules and taste. If you don't like those rules / taste, use or build another client. Beauty of a decentralized system.

And to be clear: if you're just casting in your own timeline or channels, algo won't care about it. It's when you start taxing other people's attention (and potentially making the experience worse for others), that you might get labeled.

This is a gigantic joke why do you work so hard to drive users away from the platform?

You FORCE people to follow those accounts when they join, and now they are going to get Labeled as spam for interacting with those same accounts you FORCED them to follow?

I am a new user, i said hi to a big account (i was forced to follow) or whatever silly thing comes to my mind and i get spam labeled, from now on noone see my casts, i leave the platform and tell everyone else is trash. KEK
