Não seja corno manso. Sua mulher traiu, vire andarilho.

Eu acreditava no amor. Terça feira era o dia q eu ia presentear minha namorada. Mas encontrei ela com outro homem na cama da minha mãe.

Nossa gente. Quero muito que terça feira chegue logo. Vocês não fazem ideia! Parece que quando esperamos tanto por um dia o tempo não passa.

O cilco é assim. Estamos apenas no começo

The spam filtering dilemma

Sharing how we think about it so people can better understand:

1. Most people will only use social networks if they are fun

2. Casting something and getting dozens of spammy replies is not fun

3. If you get enough spammy replies, you'll just stop using the app

4. So, aggressively filtering for spam is necessary to keep your existing users happy

5. However, this means some good new users will hit spam filters. Understatement: this is a bad user experience for those people. It would be great to not have this happen.

6. But given the choice of who to make unhappy — an existing user who has invested a ton of time and energy into the network or a new user that is most likely to churn (top tier social networks lose 50% of users!), then you have to optimize for your existing users.

7. So does that mean you don’t care about new users? No! It’s existential to have new users be able to join Farcaster and find people to connect with — without being labeled as spam.

Here's another way to look at the spam filtering problem. Consider this hypothetical?

1. Let's say you have a new account on the network (Account A) at they reply 100 times to the same account (Account B) with no engagement back.

2. It doesn't actually matter if Account A is run by a human or a bot with AI. 

3. If you have 1000 accounts like Account B, Account A will just stop using the app. They'll move to another network or a messaging app.

4. Ideally, Account B would reply thoughtfully a few times and Account A engages with them, and then it increases over time as they build a relationship.

5. If you say "well 100 times is too much, but 50 times is fine", then you're admitting humans can be spammy and we're now arguing over the definition.

6. Side note: I don't think anyone is ready for a world where bots powered by AI are as interesting—or even more interesting—than humans.

PSA: changes coming Warpcast spam controls.

take note, this is /specific/ to Warpcast client. The protocol is, as always, permissionless. These changes do not necessarily affect other clients.

in summary, if you:
>too-often reply to users who don't follow you
>and those users don't interact with your replies
>you'll eventually get a /single/ warning from warpcast (notifs).
>if you relax, great. carry on and enjoy your visibility.
>if you persist, you'll be labeled as spam and your replies hidden.

so you're spam. whoops. now what?
>at first and for awhile, nothing.
>flagged users will be reevaluated eventually (weeks later).
>this review system needs to be built (doesn't exist yet).
>as planned, users who demonstrate good behavior may be restored.

but as varun notes, this remediation system doesn't exit yet. for the time being, treat Warpcast's spam flagging as permanent. Be careful, frens 🌹

a few things, since y'all are getting ornery: 
✔️ it's early. assume change before assuming elsewise.
✔️ don't over optimize, it makes ya brittle.
✔️ socialfi reputation will be important, don't squander your chance.
✔️ but the path to onchain reputational credit markets will be messy.
✔️ and there will be many false starts. but we'll get there...
✔️ and when we do, everything changes. so be fuckin' patient.

and don't die 🌹
