No puedo frenarlo 🫤😡 

 I don’t see reply guy on Damus. Only on Primal. 

 they’re all over my damus :( 

 I have blocked maybe 12 accounts total 

 me too. it’s getting rough out here for a real life actual human 

 ? We get a new one of these every few months. This one isn't even questionable content. It will pass 

 I've blocked dozens 

 If I reply to this, am I a reply guy? What is a reply guy? 

 this reply marked safe from GM reply guy 

 😂 

 I don't log IPs on my relays, but shit like this almost makes me want to, just to see if it's coming from the same IP address. 

 I log IP on grain. It will be banned on my relay soon if a solution is not found. I will make it known when I do. Still only a temporary measure as that can be changed with a VPN fairly quickly  

 Right its only more whack-a-mole.  

 For half a second I was thinking that auth on relays would fix this, but I don't think that would fix it either. Even if it was free to authenticate on a relay, whoever is writing with spam bots can just have the new profile authenticate before making a new npub making that pointless. 

 😂 nostr protocol isn’t protected 

 Is this how the state takes us down? 😂

 Add the string "GM, from wss" to your security filter. 

Relay operators could also filter and block that string too.  

 Nip-42 auth prevents this 

 term mute "GM" ez 

 That's a bit drastic at the moment. 

 I like it because I also don't care when real people say it either 

 Paid relays.  

 Or even invite-only relays where the admin can see who invited who 

 Amethyst muted words: ReplyGuy
💨 

 I can't see my post because it worked! 

 Awesome. I thought it only worked for note content! Problem solved.  

 filter on content 

 I'm sure this will be the first of many. 

Mute words can be bypassed by generating random text if needed
IP address blocking really doesn't solve it, proxies, vpn etc
Keys can be generated on demand

It's just a DOS in a way as it looks like regular content. 

Paid relays help but we still have freelays for now so as long as relays federate content, may be an issue due to replies. 
 

 i did this this morning
not a great solution 😕 https://image.nostr.build/9579cc599f7768c6eb960ee0a1e42e5515dfb00ce5d089e59123eb68a1eaeb6c.jpg 

 > not a great solution
why ? 

 because the relays still are dealing with spam?

or because they just change the reply text and keep going? 

 it got worse, now they are copying the notes ! 

 Filter by web-of-trust 

 Will you expand on this? What are you dealing with?

each one is a different account.  you would have to block each one separately. 

 hello @hzrd149 

i tried muting the words ReplyGuy, GM and GM, ( with a comma ) 

but his replies still go through ...

 I don't even understand what would motivate someone to do this in the first place
