it was hashtags! i found out why and yup, when I used damus/nostr a long time ago I followed several hashtags, and I guess some of these bots or bad actors snuck in with one of the ones I followed. changing those now, thank you so much

The best hashtag is asknostr but the bots get in there too
I'm glad nostr is working well enough for you now 💯 sorry I didn't see the issue clearly enough to help solve it
