Since accounts can be hacked or otherwise turn spammer, maybe there could be a warn before unfollow function, so you get 48h or sth to unfollow. Or unfollow, but automatically refollow when follow unfollowed spammer.

If keys get hacked there’s no recovery.

But I see what you mean, eg someone I follow gets hacked and turns spammer?

What about a 24hr block?

I log in and see 5 people have temp blocked me? Huh? Maybe someone I follow has become a spammer?

Lots of nuance that could be added, but the simplest rule set is to serve a whitelist of all my followers followers.

Everyone would have a unique whitelist and they would shift organically all the time.

It would also promote good behaviour within the network. Potential loss of reach for bad behaviour.

Especially in the beginning, to keep momentum, I do also not want people to be too careful with who they are following.

I think it is a good procedure.

Kinda quarantine with a notificação for the follower of the spammer.

If the key leaks the block has to be permanent. You can't distinguish attacker from rightful owner.

True, but the idea was to warn those that follow the hacked account, before you unfollow them. So they have time to react and unfollow the spammer.

Why does it matter if someone I follow follows s spammer if the person is not reposting the spam messages?

Jasper 2y ago

Because the follower graph is used to identify spammers. If non spammers follow spammers, this gets harder to do, hence the penalty.

I see, that makes sense.
