Here is a real example of how spam detection can help reduce noise on the Nostr network.

First image as I was enabling it. Semi-staggered in two phases.

Second two images are examples of relays (not finger pointing.. just examples) where their event traffic dropped 80-90% by volume (when I dropped the spam).

How do I enable spam filter on my nostr client? Is it specific to relay?

We don’t know yet how best to deal with spam across the protocol. At present it’s easiest for relays to do something as they have the most data. However clients could use a pre-built model to detect spam themselves.

So yeah, todays it’s relay specific and clients can only really modify their relays to ones that have some protection.
