 That's not a good solution. The relay software is not yet at standards where you can easily delete spam quickly. The users coming into Nostr shouldn't have to spend time picking which relay is filtering spam or not. 

The solution here is requiring "follow requests" that cost 1 Satoshi or less. That will make it too expensive for bots to operate. 

I also don't want anyone interacting with my profile unless I accept their follow request because I've noticed bots liking my notes in order to get noticed. 

When billions are using Nostr it's going to be garbage just like X where you keep receiving lies and follows from those fake profiles with fake asian women profile pictures. 

Use capitalism and the power of Bitcoin micro-payments to stop spam.

Make them PAY
