We hope to challenge that! I’d like to see at least some public/free relays stick around and part of that depends on controlling resource consumption from spammers.
I think you can filter out the vast majority of spam today with simple rules/word lists.
Long term will need to be solved with modeling + real time feedback. #[5] has ideas 💡
Agree!
My thought process was just that centralised platforms like twitter have far more control over the on-ramps of new users and still failed to solve the issue. And from what I’ve seen I think it is fair to say that the current spam is still quite unsophisticated
Paid models have a new large unexplored solution space where is see many promising options like paying $10 at sign up and getting it back after a week or whatever.
Anyways, I would love for you to succeed and happy to support if I can
