An increase of spam sucks, but it also means that we're moving from the underdog state to a more relevant state worthy of time and effort from more people.


Means more dick developers joining.


Spam is life.


My account is basically unusable.


This will lead to a more robust and resilient Nostr.


Why? Too many spam notifications?


nostr:npub15u3cqhx6vuj3rywg0ph5mfv009lxja6cyvqn2jagaydukq6zmjwqex05rq you know what to do https://www.spam.com/recipes


I actually love spam 😂 the food.


Ti's temporary.


I cant read.l anything all replies and notifications is just spam.


Have you tweaked your relays?


Do you have the WoT filter on ?


I blocked Damus relay. I am now on paid and WoT relays only.

They are gone.


I wonder if they were successful in ruining the initial experience for new users enough that some gave up on using Nostr.


Im now in a cozy little bubble of 2 paid relays and a WoT relay.

Spam is gone.


That is entirely possible. I would guess most new users won't stick around if all they see is spam.


We have WoT filtering on client

No wot relay needed


Nom nom nom.


nostr:npub1nje4ghpkjsxe5thcd4gdt3agl2usxyxv3xxyx39ul3xgytl5009q87l02j do you have friends filter on?

nostr:note1sq3e28dndtqnxtauqg3vpdjzeh0x6lyyrlu22aqq779tc7f34yzq8sj4ax


Still in the notes and reply feed. Like at least 50 notes.


gossip has a nice feature where you mark relays as spam safe and only use those for notifications.  just sayin', very useful feature imo.

the spam battle, dont give up so ez!  many relays already filter using sats, wot or traditional firefighting, just need more client settings to meet them halfway. 🔥

i sound like a broken record at this point, but i feel a duty to point out the obvious 🙏


Im using this too.


Be interesting to see if any of the nostr stats show a slow down because the deteriorated experience because all the spam. I wish we knew who it is behind it. I guess we are big enough to care about now.


:leotoast:


I know what I’m doing in the middle of the night from now on https://i.nostr.build/XD0ZdhyADRLMZg6f.jpg


Hmm do you follow lots of hashtags?  You shouldn’t be seeing spam in notes & replies unless they are spamming hashtags. We don’t apple friend filter to hashtags yet, but we definitely should


So, only shows notifications from a subset of relays? 🤔


No, not hashtags. Maybe i though it was in the notes. Its gone now. So im good.


yes


My spam is boring. I just fry it and slap it between some bread.

Honestly I may need to go buy some and eat some tomorrow. It's been a while.


Oh yum! 😝


Hmm. Something like this would be nice to have in Amethyst 🥹


Let's go! 👀👀👀

I just woken up, I honestly thought this said #twerk. hahahahahahahaha


It could because of a multitude of reasons, but my feed has been slower over the last few days and I'm getting less engagement on my notes. Maybe it's because I tweaked my relays, maybe everyone is busy and using Nostr less like I have been recently, or maybe it's spammers turning people off, or something else.


WOT is bad, if you run strfry, I will help you and yourr rely be spam free. I have done it


i wish the desktop clients were as good as the mobile ones :( We wouldn't even need WoT relays if we could filter spam on the clients. (and AFAIK, that's the spirit of nostr, everyone is free to see or hide the spam as they see fit)


You can twerk in front of your relays. There are no rules against it.


Its only 9 days .. the battle must go on for 18 !


Yeah, it could be a multitude of things like you said. I have also noticed a slowdown lately; hopefully, it's not the spam attack working. We'll probably get a clearer picture in a couple of weeks.

That's true. Can proof of work fix this?

On top of choosing my relays, which should stop spam, something I can configure like wot is great. Unfortunately I see much spam coming from filter.nostr.wine which was paid and doing good until today. :(

I think the concept of WOT is great but can't just stop at follows. One should be able to choose the WOT points that users must have, but also choose how many layers (follows of follows of follows) aggregate that score. WOT isn't the one solution but it's needed. and needs to be more configurable.


Yes, relays should fight spam better. However, WOT is a failure and ruins the experience. Every other decentralized alternative don't have these problems. Only Nostr because of their bad design decisions. They never cared about the relay. Wot is a poorly designed bandaid to cover up bad relay design decisions. Nostr can't even fight CSAM


Your right it does hurt discovery. I just like when I can control it. I limited everything to like 2 relays, then stopped seeing things in certain clients, added a couple back. Choosing relays still confuses me I suppose.
