Here is a simple suggestion for bot immunity - may be it is an opt in at user level ..
- Only those who I follow shoud be able to comment or react on my notes .. In a way "follow someone" is a proactive permission to "someone" to react to my notes - reply , quote , fork or like etc .. Rest everyone can read ..
- If someone want to react to my messages - they should first follow me .. and then I can choose to follow back ..
- If you dont "opt in " then every time someone follows you , you auto follow back ..
I know it is probably a protocol level change and it will reduce the traction (particularly for new users) .. but in the long it will help #nostr ..
There is no way to block anyone on anything in Nostr. You can only hide them.

Thats why I said it is a protocol level change .. I am sure relays will find easyier way to filter the spam attacks .. but changing the meaning of "follow" would go a long way ..
If we are being fair that’s what blocking is anyways
Yes .. I think the current blocking is only hiding the stuff .. relays still carry the reactions of the people I blocked ...
Btw - that is the difference between "notes" and "posts" .. notes mean default position is no one (except me) may react to what I noted ... posts are open submissions for comments .. or likes or whatev..
We should be true to the name :-) ..
Not sure what the influence was but I know in Japan it’s called note(s) and a boost/repost is called renote
Japan folks know what they are doing :-) .. case in point - US Steel ..
When I see notifications in #Amethyst , the global view is riddled with "reply guy" ... but " All Follows" view is good ...
Maybe you wanna implement same logic in feed too .. no display (and reportinng ) from anyone who I dont follow ..
