Spam Labels have been public for a month and we've seen significant updates to the number of casters with Level 2 Labels (the good one) and the consequences of the Level 0 Label (the worst one) via the Great Follower Purge of February 2025. 

With a resurgence of bot-like accounts this weekend, the algorithm will only get more aggressive. 

I've made significant revisions on this article as the team has given us more clarity around the algorithm as well as included resources on how to save your friends from spam jail and a thread on the teams thinking about spam. 

Please remember this is guidance, not gospel. The algo is secret.  Always appreciate any feedback or areas I can clarify.

I didn’t intend to keep talking about Spam. I really thought this chapter was closed. But I’ll embrace it. I’ll keep talking about it until it’s better. And Japan will fuel me. I will wear these to FarCon in solidarity. Be careful out there. The spam algo is getting more aggressive.

Apparently, I'm starting to look at it differently. 🧹Have to go through my list of casters I follow thoroughly.

That’s a tough problem to solve.  I wouldn’t involve myself with low quality casters at all. It does no good.

Nice socks. 
Don't think that more aggressive spam algorithm will help. In general it's about resources from Farcaster, and those from the spammers. In general this means that spammers will post low quality posts, without much thought. The rest can easily be mimicked. However at this moment (could change) they have relative more interaction with 0-spam-labels, if they take the effort to let an account grow. But, how do we know the difference between low quality casters, and spammers?

Oh wow, that sent chills down my spine and I had to go check my account. I'm safe but what in the world is happening?

100,000 accounts lost their good label on Thursday.

More aggressive? I didn't even think it's possible 😅

Thank you pichi GL
But I don't think there is any benefit in fighting spam, past experience has shown this many times
