What makes a user spammy? There are many signals of inauthentic activity. Doing one or two of these will not get you the spam label, but doing many will. - profile that is clearly automatically generated with no effort put in - posting content from the internet and pretending it is yours - using ai to automatically post messages for you - replying and mentioning many users who never interact with you or follow you - posting and resharing repetitive content, just like a bot might - operating in rings, where accounts coordinate to like or boost certain accounts - casting, following, liking or resharing things in an automated fashion to artificially get others to follow you - impersonating well known accounts on the network - getting muted or blocked by many other users on the network
