 Nearly 90% of replies to my notes are spam. kind of sucks

I've been listening to everyone talk about ways to fight spam, or use the WoT to filter it out etc
But because noStrudel is a web client I have very limited bandwidth and processing power, only enough to calculate WoT out 2 levels. so most spam prevention techniques would be too heavy for a web app.
Plus the app would still be downloading the spam, which isn't ideal.

All of this has given me an idea. What if the app worked without needing to configure any relays? 🤔 

I don't think this would solve the spam issue, but it would at least show a lot less since the app wouldn't always be pulling from free relays

All that said this was probably the funniest one. apparently Lyn speaks japanese
