 So does Nostr have any spambot problems like how Twitter has? 
 Oh yeah. Its bad and relays cant stop it.  
 Bad? Really?
My feed has zero spam 
 It happens all the time. 
It was really bad from 1 dude a few days ago 
Clients filter better than others  
 Which clients are you using? 
 iris 
 Give a shot to Coracle 
 I would love to use Coracle. But......the user experience for viewing the Global timeline is bad. If it kept the Global timeline flowing, I would self-host it again for poster.place. Nostrudel and Snort are the only Nostr clients (desktop) that seem to keep loading posts right. Primal has issues staying connected to relays and keeping the timelines flowing too. 
 Amethyst or Snort on desktop  
 Really strange, I muted some npubs months ago and never had other problems 
 Just tried to respond with a gif upload. Does that not work on Nostr?

 Bingo  
 Good work

On nostr, remember to stop typing when uploading a attachment until the url appears in the post.
