Do you disavow Folkd.com?

I don't think this would hurt your SEO. Folkd.com has good domain authority, so It shouldn't make that big difference I think. Looks some other spammy backlinks to remove. That's what I would do.

Thanks

Moz spam score will not hamper your SEO ranking however Folkd.com has good DA. But I will suggest you not to create backlinks from spammy websites. If the link is "No-follow" then its fine.

Thanks

Thoughts... is this a spam directory, or good link? It has a high domain authority (63 DA)

Moz metrics are completely worthless. I hope you are not paying for that account.

Folkd is a social bookmarking site that has zero influence on rankings. Google knows that anyone can place links there to their own site so all links from it are devalued.

It's a link that is being completely ignored by Google. Remove it, disavow it or ignore it. It's not going to matter one way or the other.

Yes, it wont make any difference but i don't think, there is any problem to use it as a social bookmarking site.

Because of folkd, my site spam score has also increased. It has a good DA, but I think it is a spam directory because it increases spam score. You have mentioned a 61% spam score, but it has a 68% spam score, so do not use this directory.
