Oddbean new post about login | logout I was thinking in a wot relay that allows new people to publish, this new people have a time span where their post will be visible, if they get engaging or similar they stay, if not goes away. There are more details, but does this makes sense?
yeah that does make sense. Keeps posts of established users, but then gives new users time to build a reputation. If no one is interacting with spam, it'll essentially be dropped.
Exactly I think its a better approach than paid relays, not because paid relays are bad idea, they are good, but people need to pay and also have btc, ln, cashu, xmr or whatever you want to use. It's a lot less friction, as well as pow, and the user doesn't need a voucher to publish. Then this can be combined with a robust collection of policies for easy discard. I wish I had the time to build it. If you want we can keep in touch to brainstorm/develop
I'm starting to think about relay development a lot more. I'll definitely ping you if I start to really dig into writing my own relay. Writing a filter policy has been really interesting.
What if I created 10 accounts...? Each one gives feedback to the others... interact a little... They add different people... Etc.... At that point, it will be hard to guess if they are botspam or not, or at least prevent it. A simple opinion
That would be a legitimate way of gaming that. I've been wanting to kind of figure out a way of looking at npub behavior in general as a spam filter. So for instance, if you created all 10 of those accounts at the same time and they're only replies to where to each other Within a short amount of time of their creation, that could potentially be spammy behavior and could be blocked. spam filtering really just is a game of whack-a-mole. There's always some way to game a spam filter.
