 @cloud fodder do you have a solution to the ReplyGirl, ReplyGuy, and the "subtle reply anon" bots that are flooding the feeds?

▲ ▼

 Disconnect from
The relay

▲ ▼

 nostr1 is unaffected beause we already have access control, clients need settings like gossip has where it only shows replies from access controlled relays

▲ ▼

 On Nostrudel, I can only toggle write-access, not read-access, which is frustrating. Guess I'll go back to only my mailboxes.

▲ ▼

 ya, not many clients really handling this very well.. 🐝 wish they did cause my feed is full of 'spam' from plebs complaining about replyguy/girl 😂

  ive been adding relay controls for like a year cause these spam floods keep happening, if clients would rather not leverage my work, all i can do is watch the rising tide

 client devs need to pull their focus back to what they got rather than what they are gonna get

it's a very common behaviour with young developers, or early in the career to be all about features, and not enough focus on polish

 I'm still seeing the ReplyGirls. My WoT must be interacting with them and broadcasting.
Also, they use blastr. 😬 

Probably also writing to topical relays.

▲ ▼

 what client are you using? with amethyst it shows me noticeable spam. I had wine relay before but that was spam ridden. https://i.nostr.build/4KQFlUXKYIZwutoq.jpg

 I'm on Nostrudel. I had a bunch of in-app relays listed, but I just removed them all. Gonna stick to my mailboxes, which are all AUTH.

I have wine, but I actually use their filter.nostr.wine, which is much better because it's WOT.

▲ ▼

 ahhh ok. yeah i thought I got rid of relay guy but he's still around damn. gonna have to go indepth on this!

▲ ▼

 Clear the cache.

▲ ▼

 filter.nostr.wine is the one place where im getting replyguy

▲ ▼

  @Mazin

▲ ▼

 Link me a note? Not seeing them…

▲ ▼

 Can you find these ones? I keep seeing ReplyGuy and ReplyGirl and now there's more subtle ones without a handle.
