 Sorry for the delay, I wasn’t notified of your reply for some reason. When I enable relays under attack, it’s a mix of bot accounts impersonating others and replying with copies of random notes, plus occasional LLM-generated content. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about it with hidden word filters. My strategy with Amethyst has been to temporarily stop downloading notes from affected general relays and re-enable them later. As Will said, attacks seem to come and go, often jumping between different relays.
