 Speaking of things triggering my right-wing authoritarian impulses: reply guy spam.

(This is also a test after having, hopefully, purged offending relays from my list) 
 It took muting 3 different phrases so far but I haven’t seen one since. I only encounter a “one off” that sneaks through then I add the new phrasing. Hasn’t been that big of a deal so far. [knocks on wood] 
 I'm behind on things. What are you muting? I'm just deleting relays that show up with replies on my posts. 
 In #Amethyst you can mute phrases, and that has been an effective way of eliminating the posts from view.

However, it doesn't solve the issue of those notes still being stored on the relays. Relays themselves need to implement better spam detection tools. 
 Thanks, guys. Trying this out in Amethyst now 
 Apparently it’s just 2 phrases. Thought there was a third variation but must be remembering wrong. https://i.nostr.build/gXAXnKnpqWgYUxt6.jpg  
 I just stripped out all relays except my own citrine instance, filter.nostr.wine, and a couple web-of-trust relays.

ReplyGuy is now gone for me.
