 I haven't been following the problem-solving discussion on the reply guy spam

What's the move here, should I be blocking/reporting all of the comments under my posts? Or is this a relay-level issue where these client actions aren't meaningful fixes to the root problem? 
 I’d be interested to see the response here. I’m sure someone somewhere is working hard behind the scenes to stop this type of behaviour. 

I’m seeing it as a sign of how early we still are. Teething problems that will get ironed out by some great thinkers 🫶 
 Each note appears to originate from the same person but carries a fresh new npub. Wackamole doesn't quite capture how pointless muting & reporting is.

I suspect that the only way to remove this spam is to restrict notes from npubs that have put in zero PoW. A white list approach over the black list approach that we've been using.

This would represent a significant change to the nostr experience, particularly for new users. I don't expect it to be fixed within a week. Trade offs are definitely required. 
 On Amethyst go to security filters and try adding some things like in my image...depending on your version, Vito added some new functionality to help id by the words.

 Thanks! Done
