 Not that I want to see the spambots. But how come I'm not seeing them on #amethsyt ? I dont have anything ticked within security setting? #asknostr 
 #amethyst 
 They were spamming popular hashtags like #bitcoin #grownostr #plebchain so the people that follow those hashtags got spammed. I don’t think it has to do with clients. I didn’t notice any spam on damus because I don’t follow those hashtags 
 I follow #asknostr and don't see them on there. Apparently they are spamming that.

Also when this person quoted the note, they appear as ' Show Anyway' despite me never blocking them.

 Oh shit. Did @Vitor Pamplona implement this to solve the spam or was it already in effect before? 
 Amethyst used to do this by default, but then you could switch it off. I wonder if this is an emergency spam filter that you can't get out of(?) 
 Yeah that’s what I’m wondering now too 
 Solved a lot of the last year and people were upset that they forked and created Onyx without the filter, and then Vitor integrated it as an option 😂 
 I remember, onyx was cool:)
 
 Ahhhh. Neat

 I don't have these ticked. How do are they being filtered for me? I'm just asking cos I'm wondering what else is being filtered for me. 
 Maybe there is a default wot lite-lite I'm okay with it 💁 
 Yeah I'm ok with blocking the Freefrom spam, but that's cos I know what it is. I'm just hoping it's not blocking other things, I would never know about and I don't want blocked ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 
 Yes, fair response - would like some transparency with any filters. A technical description is fine if it explains exactly whats going on. 
 Security filters are some light web of trust. if 5(?) Of your follows muted an account, they will show up automatically with the warning 
 If you switch these off do you see the spam? I don't.
