1/ Work in progress — how to solve low signal content (of which "spam" is a subset). 4 main surfaces in app where low signal content appears: - Home - Notifications - Cast pages - Channels "Spam" appears mostly on cast pages and channels. If you have a large audience, notifications.

2/ True spam is less likely to appear on home feeds, but since people don't unfollow people that often, algorithmic revealed preference on what you interact with is the best option for most people. Common interaction "My Warpcast feed is full of X. I don't like X." Me: "Then why are you following X channel?" "Oh."

3/ True spam tends to appear in channels. Why? Channels provide a lot of distribution. And if they don't have cost or gating, then a very high ROI. Gating limits channel growth. And doing work doesn't scale. So, algorithms (Trending), cost (channel passes) and tools like /automod.

I would consider empowering curators. Not sure what the best approach/toolset is for this. Maybe a new type or reaction? Maybe a "recasts and likes from people I follow" view? Or "notify when user reacts"? Maybe some tools to allow a group of users to maintain a publication of curated casts?

I would pay a small subscription to have curated feed like "Farcaster protocol for devs" or a "Memcoin news", so I can be sure I did not miss something important.

Otoh, the whole farcaster feed is public, so we could very well have AI/ML curator bots. So, instead of solving the problem globally, someone could solve is locally, for a very specific area of interest or style, or whatever? Just thinking out loud.
