#metoo πŸ˜…

The relay is rate limiting a bunch of notes but won't be able to stop everything, sorry. Probably impossible to do for free and open relays tbh. I'm considering setting up a paid relay instead and offer a free relay with 24 hours/1 week retain time of notes.

I don't know how hard it is for strfry (I'm actually a terrible noob with it) but is there some plugin available to run the wot of some npubs and only these are allowed? It should at least filter out these totally new account posting gibberish words.

I could probably write that plugin myself (already made a strfry plugin called Chief) but then it’s not open anymore. There’s also new real users that need somewhere to post to.

That is also true. Not an easy problem.

My approach thus far has been to minimize spam but to keep it open for new users. It sucks with spam attacks though, especially if your client doesn’t allow you to filter spam.
