I just took a look at my inbox with my spam filter removed. It is full of junk, impersonations, one-time-off-topic stuff from impersonation accounts. Wow nostr is under attack all of a sudden. And wow my script is working like gangbusters. Also most of it is on relay.primal.net and nowhere else. So I'm going to (for myself) block that relay.

Some impersonators are really funny. People who would never talk to you in their life or try to sell you something known or, better yet, talk to you as if they know you and have no idea who you are. A nice collection of silliness.

pretty sure this is just one guy running bots because it tends to change all at once, from reply guy to out of context reply notes Either way I don't I don't think its right to give him the satisfaction of calling it an "attack" That said I'm curious what you've implemented as a spam filter. I've been thinking of solutions for noStrudel and I can't come up with anything better then a WoT filter :(

Here is what my example spam filter looks like now. I will be adding hashtag filtering at some point too, e.g. "If Mike Dilger and tagged with Israel or Politics, deny the event". https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikedilger/gossip/master/filter.rhai.example

I started muting ReplyGuys a few days back any time it come into my content. Definitely a handful of relays that seem to have them spun up endlessly. Primal, Wellorder, Offchain, WizBiz are the biggies. https://listr.lol/npub1nllg0a3ft740rznhngshu8w3kuknj0wh4kzxfu40eqslrk5gvw8qshu0w3/10000/nevent1qqs8f9e4g2k4nne4cz5nx2fpyshtyzqkr3qku6ypl8jy7pkj2w0huaspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpne7vk7rr5xrx7smqx22hx5rscc08n2zxj7q9rdrq2r38zpjlwkqfvegrt
