@jb55 implemented pretty aggressive rate limiting on the Damus relay which seems to stop that. nostr.wine is a paid relay, so spammers don’t use it. Not sure what nostr.band is doing to block the spam.
So, when you try to search stuff on nostr or check some hashtag, you don't get any RGy stuff?
I haven't seen any RG stuff since I reduced my relay list down to this. It's only been one day though. I think most Nostr clients will only display notes from relays you read from when you search for things.
RG still shows up on Primal though cause they use a caching server and they haven't blocked RG notes. #asknostr doesn't seem to have RG notes for me on Damus though.
