"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.

listen yall, if ur looking for quality just look at my casts. im not bragging.

fwiw, I don't really get your crusade against spam filtering. You strike me as sophisticated enough to realize that most of the accounts getting labeled are actually uninteresting to most people.

the catch-22 i'm observing is:
- new users do displeasing things to old users
- you explain what is displeasing in casts after the fact (that most new users don't see b/c they are not pushed)
- new users are already labeled as spam and cannot correct their behavior

i am not against your push for quality as i clearly benefit from this, just pointing out that the order of events and uneven broadcasting do not help new users course-correct in time

There are plenty of people who sign up, post interesting stuff and never get into a spammy behavior loop.

Solve for X. :)

it's not obvious--it's typical behavior from commenting users on other social platforms (see youtube, tiktok, instagram comments)

warpcast is in an interesting place right now b/c content creators and comment commenters are in the same "plane" whereas the other platforms have a distinct hierarchy

> you explain what is displeasing in casts after the fact (that most new users don't see b/c they are not pushed)

It's 2024. Is replying to every post of another user with a low effort reply not obviously spammy?

Why are some new users able to not do this?
