Warpcast spam filtering has improved quite a bit! 

We're turning off priority mode for one week as an experiment. If people are happy, we may get rid of priority mode forever. 

If you see spam, you can help us by tapping the "three dot" menu on the top right of each cast and hitting Report.

Priority mode was a quick fix to reduce spam. 

It showed replies from your network and power badge users only. This eliminated spam but made it hard for new users to be seen. 

Our new spam filtering offers a better experience. It detects spammy casts and moves them into a "Show more" section.

Spam filtering relies on machine learning, heuristics and manual review. It's isn't perfect and will make mistakes occasionally. 

You can help improve filtering by reporting users. If an account gets reported often it will trigger an automatic or manual review, and may get classified as "low quality".

You can DM me when this happens, for now.

Excited about this!

Feature request to be able to report when a cast labeled as spam is not spam (saw a couple not categorized correctly and wasn't sure how to help them)

I must say, I’ve had Priority Mode turned off as a personal experiment over the past few days, and the amount of spam and AI replies is generally low. Bullish on winning the spam war

You folks are doing an *awesome* job cleaning up the spam! 🙏

Thoughts on excluding suspected spam accounts from like and reply counts?

lol at all the bots celebrating bots getting spam filtered

i’ve noticed a big difference in the /mfers channel

This is wonderful! Thanks so much for experimenting with this! New users will appreciate this chance!

Is there any concern with someone who has bad blood with another user and reports them while getting their cohort to do the same?

Awesome news !!! Hopefully people will “behave “ and cast accordingly

Sick! You all are doing such a kickass job!!

yesssssss thanks for experimenting and im still reporting the bots

currently available Farcaster clients are based on the same Twitter kind of experience as in @warpcast but with different protection against spambots 😿 
we need new experiences if we want to onboard the masses. @v
