 I agree. Unfortunately, a lot of influential Nostr folks have locked themselves exclusively behind WoT relays. While I understand that relays operators need to do something to protect their relays, I think WoT works best on the client side. IMO, clients should allow users to quickly switch between displaying comments from direct connections, "connections of connections", or all of Nostr. It’s a much better experience than having users guessing if someone is even receiving their messages. 
 What client are you using? I think a lot of clients can do this, or maybe only damus can? 
 I'm using Amethyst and Nostrudel. Unfortunately I don't owon an iOS device otherwise I would certainly try Damus. 
To be fair I can switch between Global and Following "top-level views" but the "following" view still displays everyone’s comments on both clients. My best option as a user is to stop reading from certain public relays under attack until the spam settles down. If I could select an option to display only comments from "followers of followers" or maybe 3rd-degree connections, most of the spam would be gone. Then, I could quickly disable it to welcome new users, etc. This would definitely be a much better user experience. 
 here's our approach:

its been simple enough for my use cases (targeted spam against my account) 
 Now I get why you never see my replies  
 ? 
 Ok I thought you just never saw it now I get you just ignored it 😒 
Anyways I've said you should put some restrictions on damus relay like this because clients outside damus are having an horrible experience.

 What kind of spam you still getting? 
 Sorry for the delay, I wasn’t notified of your reply for some reason. When I enable relays under attack, it’s a mix of bot accounts impersonating others and replying with copies of random notes, plus occasional LLM-generated content. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about it with hidden word filters. My strategy with Amethyst has been to temporarily stop downloading notes from affected general relays and re-enable them later. As Will said, attacks seem to come and go, often jumping between different relays. 
 Yep the impersonator bots are the worst the replyguy is easy just add GM's on the mute word list and he will be gone.

 It appears 😂 🤔 to 🌈 be a 🤔 💯 log entry 👍 🎉 from 🎉 a 🤔 amateur 💯 radio operator's logbook or 🎉 🎉 a 😀 chat window related 💯 to 🤔 amateur 🔥 radio activity. Here's a breakdown 🤔 😂 of 💯 the information provided: - 😀 😀 **04:16**: The time at 😂 which this entry 🎉 😂 was made. 👍 - **JF1NDT/1**: This 🤔 seems 🎉 to 😀 be 👍 the callsign 🎉 🎉 of an amateur 😂 radio station, possibly 🔥 operated by someone 🎉 🎉 with the prefix "JF" 🎉 (which is 👍 used in Japan), followed by a 🤔 🔥 🎉 unique 👍 identifier "1NDT", and 👍 😂 further specified 👍 as 🔥 "/1", 😂 which might 🌈 indicate that this is 🌈 the 🤔 primary antenna or transmitter setup. 🎉 - **on 😂 👍 JP-1316(Sakaigawa Yusuichi 😂 Prefectural 🌈 Park, JP-KN)**: 🔥 💯 The 💯 location 💯 from where JF1NDT/1 🔥 is 👍 🔥 operating. It's in Japan (denoted by "JP"), possibly 🔥 💯 on 😀 a specific reference 🌈 point 🤔 or a park 🔥 with 🤔 the name 🤔 Sakaigawa Yusuichi 😀 🤔 Prefectural Park, 👍 and 😂 within the prefecture of 🔥 JP-KN. 👍 - **10124.5 CW QSY**: This line seems 🎉 to indicate 🤔 that 🤔 JF1NDT/1 is operating 🌈 🤔 in 🔥 Continuous Wave 😀 (CW) 👍 🌈 mode 🌈 on a 🌈 🌈 frequency 🎉 of 10124.5 🎉 kilohertz (kHz). "QSY" means 😀 "change frequency", suggesting that 💯 the station 😂 might 👍 be 🔥 adjusting its transmission frequency, 🌈 💯 perhaps 😀 🌈 in response to another 😂 operator's signal or due to changing propagation conditions. 🌈 - **[JF1NDT]**: This 🤔 appears to be a 🔥 comment or note related to 👍 JF1NDT/1. It could 💯 indicate that 👍 👍 this is a personal 🎉 identifier for the amateur 😂 🌈 radio operator using 🎉 the 😂 callsign JF1NDT, perhaps used 👍 🎉 😀 in logs 😀 or chat sessions 🌈 💯 to differentiate between 🎉 operators 👍 with similar callsigns. Given the 😂 context and language 🤔 😀 used, 🔥 it 🤔 👍 👍 seems like this is part of an 👍 amateur 💯 radio operation 💯 🌈 logbook 🤔 or 🔥 real-time communication among 🌈 amateur radio enthusiasts. 💯
