the damus relay is preventing some replyguy spam due to its rate limiting, but it seems like its mostly coming through nos.lol and the primal strfry relay. that's the downside of relay spam protections, if any relays on your relay list let it through you will still see it. this is why most spam protections will be on the client side. @Terry Yiu is working on a trust filter for people outside of your web-of-trust on threads as we speak, so hopefully that will fix thread spam on Damus soon. image

Excited to see the unique solutions nostr can hopefully allow for the issue of the fine line between censorship and spam protection

It's a fighting battle the free relays will never win. I had to remove your relay and I stopped seeing spam. . I'm sticking to paid relays. Even a tiny fee of 21 sats like nostr21.com keeps bots away. image

You have 11 relays defined, one of them is localhost. When I reply to you or send a DM, you expect "me" to publish that to all your 10 public available relays? There is also an following list with 34 relays that you have published. Where should I publish my events for your to see them? Randomly pick perhaps 3 of the 10 relays?

Maybe Amber or another external app to Amethyst/Primal/etc could be used as a local relay which filters all other relays and act as the final spam killer. It needs to be easy to update filters on the fly there and be able of sharing plugins among other users. Maybe @Alex Gleason can vibe code it

spam filtering should happen on both the client and the server. nostr’s pubsub enables relays to gossip - we should leverage this for spam prevention. this can keep spam from burning bandwidth and storage. client filtering is the the stand and super expensive, comparatively.
