Bost makes it easy for spammers to send notes to a bunch of relays. It's a very important tool to have for small relay operators. That's it. Strdfy relay software can do that to so makes no sense.
Alex truly is the only nostr dev that really gets it and is taking nostr to better places

Amen to that.
Here's another thing. My entire network at home is down since yesterday because a ddos attack of 2000 servers attacked at once breaking the router.
The cost of free speech
There are attacks against me from Nostr that happens randomly throughout the day but today's 2000 different IP spam attack was for the fediverse instance I host . Don't want to name the instance here for OPSEC reasons. I could not even fight against it because Router got fucked up.
People are already complaining about engagement from it and it does not solve the real problem. Relays are still getting abused and this is just lipstick on a pig
Same as before. Domains are easy to block. Individuals are hard. It is the best idea and everything the devs are coming up with is retarded and temporary.
To solve the Reply Guy shit, I added a button to my nostrudel fork to block any spammer at the Relay Level with 1-click. How come nobody else does this? Some nostr relays relays have tools to stop all this spam but admins don't do anything.
The same features exist on every alternative to Nostr. NIP05's are requested and approved by an admin. They only way a spammer could do this kind of attack would be to buy his own domain and broadcast to every relay and then any admin can simply block that domain in seconds.
You don't need Wot. Some relays have the tools now to fight spam without doing weird stuff like Wot. Iris ,Coracle have done similar stuff and it's always bad for the user.
you came here at a real bad time.....Been non-stop spam for maybe a week now. My relay is the best, spam free, but my router died due to a DDOS attack from a fedi instance I host. Going to try and replace it tomorrow.
