The benefit of a p2p network is that clients can do ip banning themselves, clients can see ip addresses from other users (like bitcoin!). On nostr, clients can’t see src ip on incoming notes. This is a nice privacy feature, but prevents clients from doing ip based spam filtering.
Relays *could* pass note source ip info in websocket responses, but i feel like a lot of people wouldn’t like that 😅
Clients could try to integrate a vpn feature to mask IPs, assign a fixed IP per user that they can block in case of spamming..
Yes amethyst next update will come with Tor the best thing that happened of twitter getting banned is that I use vpn all the time now and over it will be tor soon.
So for now we just need to keep improving relay anti-spam tech. https://github.com/damus-io/noteguard is still a baby, lots of things still left to do. Rate limiting is effective but once I have ip banning it should be much better.
Essas contas tendem a ter palavras chaves recorrentes no perfil… não teria como o usuário silenciar manualmente? É uma ferramenta muito boa no X, principalmente para evitar assuntos que não nos interessa!
Good work 💜
What about a salted hash of ips?
i was just setting up spamd in my mail server, and was thinking about this. im pulling an ip blacklist from heise.de, have a whitelist.txt, and a blacklist.txt.
its an interesting idea to let client users decide if and what blacklists they subscribe to.
One of the countless ways p2p networks are superior
