 Haven't seen any "permanent" solutions yet for reply guy but here's what has crossed my feed.

-Filter wss// on your client
-Use paid relays which puts the onus on relay runners to filter
-Use your own relay and filter those ips
-block/report 
-Use wot clients like oracle

Did I miss any others?

 Feed sure looks beautiful on Nostur rn. wot fixes this 😂 
 Understood, pardon my ignorance but how does that impact new nostr users? 
 Not sure I undestand your question. I’m just saying that Nostur has WoT and you don’t see all that replyguy nonsense on there 
 Makes sense on reply guy, what does WoT do to new npubs (actually new nostr users). Not a leading question, I genuinely don't know if they're shown, hidden etc 
 Ah I understand. My understanding is that if a new users only follows 1 person, lets say you, his WoT would be populated by your follows. He would trust your follows (and/or your follows’ follows depending on the settings). And so on when you add other follows. I guess the new user wouldn’t see the replyguy, as long as he uses a client that implements wot and that he doesnt follow someone who follows one of the replyguy bots 
 who is this mysterious 'reply guy'?! 
 a bot spamming replies 
 How do the “WOT” clients work exactly?
