 Also does someone more keen than I want to explain the note-repeater bot madness in the replies? 🤔 
 Not much to explain: It's spam. No clear point to it, most likely just someone trolling.

Relay and client devs are working on better spam filtering tools to get rid of it as we speak.

Primal works pretty well to get rid of it for me. Amethyst can also work if you mute the username of the bot "replyguy on wss://" 
 You also try web of trust relays:

 From what I can tell, a dev made it to stress test the network and force all client devs to overcome spam threats.

In Amethyst, I have added the bot's name to my blacklist, and I don't see the spam anymore.

I think the larger issue is it is overloading relays.
