An increase of spam sucks, but it also means that we're moving from the underdog state to a more relevant state worthy of time and effort from more people.

Spam is life.
My account is basically unusable.
Why? Too many spam notifications?
Do you have the WoT filter on ?
I wonder if they were successful in ruining the initial experience for new users enough that some gave up on using Nostr.
That is entirely possible. I would guess most new users won't stick around if all they see is spam.
We have WoT filtering on client

No wot relay needed
@TKay do you have friends filter on?

gossip has a nice feature where you mark relays as spam safe and only use those for notifications. just sayin', very useful feature imo.
the spam battle, dont give up so ez! many relays already filter using sats, wot or traditional firefighting, just need more client settings to meet them halfway. 🔥
i sound like a broken record at this point, but i feel a duty to point out the obvious 🙏
Be interesting to see if any of the nostr stats show a slow down because the deteriorated experience because all the spam. I wish we knew who it is behind it. I guess we are big enough to care about now.
Hmm do you follow lots of hashtags? You shouldn’t be seeing spam in notes & replies unless they are spamming hashtags. We don’t apple friend filter to hashtags yet, but we definitely should
So, only shows notifications from a subset of relays? 🤔
My spam is boring. I just fry it and slap it between some bread.
Honestly I may need to go buy some and eat some tomorrow. It's been a while.
It could because of a multitude of reasons, but my feed has been slower over the last few days and I'm getting less engagement on my notes. Maybe it's because I tweaked my relays, maybe everyone is busy and using Nostr less like I have been recently, or maybe it's spammers turning people off, or something else.
i wish the desktop clients were as good as the mobile ones :( We wouldn't even need WoT relays if we could filter spam on the clients. (and AFAIK, that's the spirit of nostr, everyone is free to see or hide the spam as they see fit)
Its only 9 days .. the battle must go on for 18 !
Yeah, it could be a multitude of things like you said. I have also noticed a slowdown lately; hopefully, it's not the spam attack working. We'll probably get a clearer picture in a couple of weeks.
That's true. Can proof of work fix this?
