 Being able to block whole nostr address domains would make search so much more useable! Would allow me to block all the bridges and actually be able to search nostr and nostr only!

 unfortunately it's cheap to change the domain of bots on the Nostr protocol. we need a better strategy. at Google were fighting spam for decades... it's a race 😕

 Spam fighting is a constant moving game of whack-a-mole. I haven't fought spam in many years, but back in my mail and Spamassassin days, it was always a huge pain in the ass. I don't think anything changes with Nostr. We just need better tools that work in decentralized models.

 Bots aren't my concern, as you're never going to get rid of them. What I'm after is being able to block any and all mostr bridges. I can't tell you how many times I've searched hashtag x and only get overwhelmed with results from the fediverse via the mostr bridge. I don't care what the fediverse thinks because I'm searching on nostr, and if I did want to know I'd just search Mastodon.

 feel it, too. unfortunately it's so very easy to drop everything into the Nostr, and currently there's no nip for quality assurance of whatever kind...
