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.

I lost like 500 followers. I thought it was because of my casts about the war and all haha

It’s confusing for sure. Many people are making that assumption when it’s truly a Farcaster display metric that changes often. The spam algorithm is really aggressive this week so it’s more noticeable.

Yup. I think it would be nice if we got all this data in the open.

Videos are not a 1:1 correlation with spam labels. We don’t know what the secret criteria is.

To be clear - I think a huge swarm of spam accounts have been detected because they also were suspended on X. 

We can see our total followers with other clients, eg recaster will still display all. But they’re maybe clearly not all quality. 

Would be good to see spam labels updated more frequently (on GitHub). 

Also, it seems that spam label updates may happen and one way to figure out if you’re in this 0 bucket is that you can’t upload videos. I didn’t realise this!
