There’s a whole bunch of popular hashtags on these notes if you look at the raw event json for the notes. Spammers often use this technique on Nostr.

Yeah someone else could see them on Amethyst, I’m just on Damus and we’re driving so I couldn’t really do much with it.

so if you follow popular hashtags, this type of spam will leak into your feed unless you mute the spammers or use a client like coracle that has a WoT implementation that helps auto-mute this kind of stuff.

Yeah WoT to hashtag follows could be a solution in Damus here. Maybe we could also display the “t” tags in notes so it’s visible to users. cc nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8

yeah we should be displaying hashtags near the reply line somewhere

something like this?

Just auto-flag it as spam if there’s more than a few 😂

auto-flagging duplicate content as spam is one approach, but would be easy to get around by noncing the content.

I meant if there’s more than a few hashtags

Yeah WoT would be a huge help here. I like to follow hashtags though just to get a “taste” of global and be exposed to new people/stuff on the network. I realize I get some crap that way too, but it just looked as if the post had no tags, so wasn’t certain how it happened.
