Farcaster

Is anyone else seeing their follower count swing daily, on the order of hundreds? Is this just a filtering thing on the client side, i.e. this interface is discounting followers it classifies as bots or something?

The Week in Review (a thread)

➼ Follower numbers going crazy, down by a lot 

➼ Rewards leaderboard scores are weird (probably points being removed because people are marked as spam)

➼ Overall engagement is down/strange

➼ Much confusion and people feel down on themselves and are taking it personally. Don’t. It’s not you.

Haha... I came back to this thread to share @pichi's thread, only to see that she already beat me to it 'cuz she's amazing that way.

Ah, this totally explain it! Thanks for sharing

Yes. Wild swings, in fact.

About a week ago I was at 4.8K followers, and every day I've lost hundreds. As I type this I'm at 3.8K, so it seems I've lost 1000 followers in the space of a week. I'm assuming they're all spambots, but still, it's weird. 🤷
