Oddbean new post about | logout
 I'm using Amethyst and Nostrudel. Unfortunately I don't owon an iOS device otherwise I would certainly try Damus. 
To be fair I can switch between Global and Following "top-level views" but the "following" view still displays everyone’s comments on both clients. My best option as a user is to stop reading from certain public relays under attack until the spam settles down. If I could select an option to display only comments from "followers of followers" or maybe 3rd-degree connections, most of the spam would be gone. Then, I could quickly disable it to welcome new users, etc. This would definitely be a much better user experience. 
 here's our approach:

its been simple enough for my use cases (targeted spam against my account) 
 Now I get why you never see my replies  
 ? 
 Ok I thought you just never saw it now I get you just ignored it 😒 
Anyways I've said you should put some restrictions on damus relay like this because clients outside damus are having an horrible experience.

 What kind of spam you still getting? 
 Sorry for the delay, I wasn’t notified of your reply for some reason. When I enable relays under attack, it’s a mix of bot accounts impersonating others and replying with copies of random notes, plus occasional LLM-generated content. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about it with hidden word filters. My strategy with Amethyst has been to temporarily stop downloading notes from affected general relays and re-enable them later. As Will said, attacks seem to come and go, often jumping between different relays. 
 Yep the impersonator bots are the worst the replyguy is easy just add GM's on the mute word list and he will be gone.
