Let me say it clearly: The only way to fix reply spam is for people to use inbox relays that filter spam. Clients then should read replies by default only from people's advertised relays. Finally, if you see reply spam in someone else's thread it should be clear whose fault that is, so that person will be ashamed and fix it.

Regardless of whether anyone will use it it has to be tried anyway. It's our duty. Instead of attaching cashu whatever I think it's better to just allow people to buy "credits" first, then use those slowly when publishing. There are many interesting variants of this idea that I have been planning to work on but couldn't get to them yet. Would be nice if someone else tried.

There are plenty of other solutions, such as designing the protocol correctly in the first place to penalize spam (notably by making it computationally highly expensive to emit messages faster than an actual human can).

Years ago suggested the same thing but no one cared lol since is optional, only use them on your side and say farewell to public relays even thou some notes reach public if you don't want too, which I find it annoying. Another problem from it is if someone replies you from public, you will not able to see it, leaving into no response to that person.

Thanks, that's what Amethyst suggests as well. Someone should post screenshots of which relays to put where as a free user who wants to be reachable by other free users while avoiding at least some of the spam. Especially the Gaza spammer.

The Gaza spammer is a bot farm. They are new npubs. Mute one and another pops up. You can use Amethyst to mute the name, or if it changes for you, the image name.
