Farcaster Union

PSA: The spam algorithm updates quite frequently, but we can only see the public update once it’s posted on GitHub and awesome devs like @mvr and @compez.eth update their mini apps using the new data. 

The public file hasn’t been updated in 2 weeks but the spam algo is on a rampage. 

How do we know? Many folks are saying their follower count is dropping.  The Farcaster client only shows you followers who have a “good” spam label (Label 2) so people are getting marked as spam pretty hard and won’t know it until the public data set gets updated. 

May the odds be ever in your favor.

You know what Samurai?
This issue has really discouraged me! The spam topic is pointless, and every client displays it differently.

Updates are not being delivered, and we have no idea what exactly is happening.

It’s really hard to explain to new folks. I feel you.

It's not just spam label but neynar score too it is not updating regularly

Well it's hard for real and active users like us but not for this bot with multiple accounts 
0.6 score and mine is 0.59 that's really crazy

We have plan for a better dashboard based on lots of criteria for different result based on lots of parameters, not only spam label!

Spam labels are not a good measure of the quality of an account on all fields because lots of users are really as real people not robots! 😑

None of the systems are perfect. 

@cryptonjal has studied this extensively and had a good list of the flaws with each system. 

@compez.eth also built their own score system to try to combine multiple metrics. 


It’s a huge challenge to raise the voices of real contributors and silence the spam but spam is also really subjective.
