 They are using bostr to spam all public relays 
 my nontechnical recommendation is to find & kill them in a duel 
 I’ll happily go in the boxing ring with the spammer (I’m already there digitally as a public relay operator) 
 dm me, we need to talk about this and share info, i got some stuff 
 dm’d u 
 we can all pull up, this is for all 150 of us 
 He/she did pick a fight with everyone so not that unfair tbh 
 The = X = Z = ask the right questions 

Or play the game forever ♾️ 

Like a legend 
 😆 
 So, we can just block the Bostr user agent? 
 Relays can but all relays would have to do that. If you run a centralized relay for your users like primal does you can censor and clean up this stuff automatically.

For nostr clients that talk to more than one relay, you have to be more clever and used techniques like WoT, paid relays, and more clever clientside anti-spam algos
