 #Anonostr v1.5.9 released with enhanced rate limiting. New #Nostr notes and replies were already delayed by 30 seconds. New measures to mitigate spam/abuse have been introduced with a limit of 10 replies or mentions per hour to the same note or pubkey. Helping folks stay #anon without supporting the spammers/trolls 🙏

 CC @verita84 appreciate your earlier criticism. It was valuable feedback and led to this enhancement 🤙 
 What’s your thinking with regards the relay set?

Anons are getting the widest distribution but also caught up in the most noise. 
 Meaning will other relays be supported in the future? Or, how does one still get seen? 
 The latter. 

New accounts are often posting into the wind, one-time burners most def are as they are by default in no-ones follow list so they’ll only be seen amongst the filth in ‘global’? 
 Ah yup, that's something that's unfortunately unavoidable. Depends mostly on the client. I see the notes and replies on Primal. But I don't on Damus or noStrudel. And definitely not on Nostur due to WoT. Not sure if Damus or noStrudel are doing some filtering logic they haven't disclosed (maybe only showing things from users who have a stored kind 0 profile data somewhere?). I'll dig into that and see if I can find out why. But either way, the best visibility would be to add in hashtags where you know people would see those notes. 🤙 
 Well, I have added random avatar and display name and that didn't help. Unless you see some replies I sent through? 
 I see this one:

nostr:note10ndqskcv9y0tgfydrtuqkw9c943uu9q30fg36pzgtsdv8gkf7t2s828dvw

The other one I think you replied to yourself. 
 Sweet, you got notified about it? 
 Yep when @ed like that it notifies in Damus at least 
 Sick. It wasn't before iirc? So adding profile data seems to have helped. I just sent a reply instead of mention. Maybe let me know if you see that? If not, that'd be strange as it means Damus is treating mentions differently than direct replies. 
 Not seeing a new reply.. 
 Interesting... That's weird 
 I see this one nostr:note1tez4t0rk6hpk567pw8xf0nwev2tl36x4pcks0phrwdaldakjslts2h7x2r 
 Seems like I'll need to include a mention in each reply for them to be seen 🤙 
 Super slick.With regards to the ability to follow an npub, there seems to be a number of steps to take before loading that npub's feed. Any chance the npub can be pasted and then click 'follow'

 Niiice! Support for custom relays will be coming soon too🙌

 I haven't had any issues with being rate limited by any of the relays. Which ones have you? 
 Thanks! Looks like the only things we could try to copy is to track note content and deduplicate up to X number of times. In addition to restricting the number of mentions/tags in content to help mitigate hellthreads and/or topic spam. 
 Have added support for rate limiting hashtags and have also included deduplication check that restricts per hour sending the same thing. Cheers
