It’s kind of insane considering only me and alex have actually built relay spam filtering software (noteguard), both me and vitor have WoT solutions in our apps to reduce spam. I think people are underestimating how difficult some of this stuff is to stop, especially when they were spamming tons of different relays that we have little control over. I am doing my best on my own relay with the rate limiter that i wrote but some still slip through.
This is on top of my managing two client releases and a custom nostr database. But yes, i don’t seem to care 🙄
“Relay spam filtering”
That’s the problem Will.
I don’t want to use YOUR relay spam filtering. You fucked up communicating your Web of Trust already so I don’t want to rely on you anymore.
I want you as my client dev to give me the tools to filter on npubs in my preferred client: Damus.
I’ll decide my own relays thank you very much.
You’re conflating things thinking you can solve things from both sides when you can’t even solve YOUR side, that of the client, satisfactorily.
Perhaps you need to pick a side rather than trying to do both shittily.
This is so dumb. if public relays didn’t have rate limiting your client would quickly drown in large amounts of incoming data.
