 Good!

We’ve run a paid relay for 18 months. We’ve disseminated zero spam.

If everyone paid for relays like https://relay.nostr.com.au then none of us would experience spam.

Paid relays are the solution - not the problem.

Free relays are the problem. Running a free relay with next to no spam mitigation should be considered an attack an Nostr.

Doing so as a client dev who refuses to provide any tools to mitigate spam - you you’re just a bad actor at that point.
