There is a currently an active spam attack on Nostr that’s using kind 6 and 7s and generating around 80k spam events an hour.

Seems to mostly be targeting the Damus relay. It’s harder to filter these as rolling pubkeys with Profile meta and nip-05 - and no event content to check spam.

Really throttling and rate limiting is a good start, however we may need better methods.

Yep. It’s mostly just DB bloat at this point.
