 GM Nostr! Start of another week. Make it a good one. πŸ€™ 
 Spent time with a bunch of good Bitcoiner friends. Most of them don't use nostr. All of them urged to explain why they don't without being asked to do so. An indication of a bad conscience, I guess that's good for nostr but it doesn't really matter. Anyway, what's their reason? They haven't seen nostr used for much more than "just social media".

Obviously, they're retarded and wrong and I love them. But that doesn't matter either. They don't know that the most exciting use cases of nostr are beyond a Twitter clone and it seems that that's what would make them reconsider it, but I don't believe them really. I think they don't care and made up a bunch of nonsense excuses because they feel the social pressure from their Bitcoiner peers. 
 Retarded in the sense of "late", obviously.

 Removed some large relays, let’s see if reply dude shows up 
 Most spam was coming from primal for me 
 The problem with spam is that it takes 1000 times more cognitive effort to find the real replies.

It's not only the reply guy. There seem to be multiple different spam campaigns. 
 This is great. Free coordinators could mean more people using coinjoins which is better for the anon set of everyone.

 I post once and I get around 50 automated spam replies (with Amethyst). 
 And it can't be filtered by content. They started copying real content and adding garbage to it or something.

 Wdym by no servers? Isn't there a server that helps peers connect directly? 
 To punch the whole, isn't there a TURN server or something? How do you establish a p2p connection if one of the devices is behind a NAT?
