"notes coming from certain IP addresses" Congratulations: in your ineffective efforts to stop spam, you'll end up getting rid of privacy. Because inevitably spammers will use the same tools – like Tor – that people use to achieve privacy.

yeah its a targeted attack that gets around my rate limiter. i’m already thinking of new kinds of tools on my relay to visualize number of notes coming from certain ip addresses, and a management tool that can ban them with a click. Attacking me is either really dumb or smart depending on how well they want spam protections to improve.

Logical fallacy from Peter is conflating something which is possible with something that is inevitable.
