I'm also on a mission to clean the "For You" feed. I tried using local LLMs to do this real-time classification, but it's currently just too slow.

Another way to reduce the spam, is to remove bot followers from your account, I believe these bots use "likes" (which are hidden) to boost content for the botnet owners. Most of these bots are easy to spot, 0 posts, and very bad follower/following ratios. I built this Chrome Extension for bot removal automation: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/x-bot-remover/aohkh...

It would be way better if this was just done by X themselves, but why not try.

It'd be nice if x would let you do what bluesky does, let you write your own algorithms and create your own feeds.

ah maybe i'm living under the rock, but how you could do such thing for bluesky?

my feed is pretty boring there:d

There are of course a ton of custom feeds already out there.

yeah, something local (and free) would be much better. i'm not even sure how expensive could this be if it would run all the time...

re bot removal: thanks for it, will give a it a try!
