 My entire email inbox is filled with spam. Wish i had an easy to use friend filter there like i do on damus :(

I have way more contacts on here than my email contacts… so would be effective 🤔 nostr:note10m9f6zlulmev4gcmj2cwzdzkfnj0rac55dgzrgkjakkglqc83passu5p6l 
 how do you filter friends on Damus? 
 Timeline is inherently friend-filtered, but for notifications and DMs there is a button in the top right:

You almost never need this though unless you are the target of a spam attack like my account and others at the moment.

 I use hey.com for that exact purpose. You have to screen email addresses in or out of your inbox the first time they contact you. Helps make sure that the only emails that hit your receive are from people you know and trust. 
 Not viable for businesses though. 
 They make a lot of money charging $99/month 
 *year... not month. 
 I meant like, I can’t use that for our business without it filtering emails that are important 
 Ah okay. I got you.

Its mostly user driven (outside of spam), so you can screen people out who aren't spam. 
 Can’t we already use nostr plebs nip5 for this? 
 So use the mute button, and stop with the censorship talk. 

Take responsiblity for your own feed.

Stop it. 
 The spam is so awful, I have to spend an hour going through the business email just to respond to like 2 people because of the spam. 
 lol…. It’s funny how this is everywhere. 
I missed important emails in the past because of spam/ spam filtering. 
Because the current solutions just sends everything it doesn’t recognize to junk. 
 Ethermail.io has problems recognizing ENS 
 Popped no.
