Wow. That was pretty thorough.

You can also check the time delta on the replies. Bots usually reply too fast with a lot of text.

As long as it doesn’t bias against new users too much.

- Replies or reactions from reputable or non reputable npubs

- Reputable Followers

Also! Bots don’t sleep. Humans do.

sidetrack a little - what are your thoughts on relay marketplace ? This marketplace will incorporate all relays including yours, and categorise them by free, private, community base, channel base etc. Each relays can have its features listed out - I remember you had many diff relays for diff purposes as well.

In this case, users gets to hop on to this marketplace, pick and choose the kind of "feel" they want to have on their nostr, based on the relays. Hence it indirectly helps users understand Nostr and build a real Nostr experience

For example

- if they want a more FB like/community based relays - maybe they pick a private based + clients like coracle.

- If they want twitter based perhaps free + private + clients like primal and damus.

- If they want Ig based maybe exclusive relays with influencers or fashion based with clients like Nostrgram or Iris with the image tiles.

For a relay marketplace developer this could benefit in terms of additional revenue as well as promoting the relay concept. Eventually we may have many relay marketplace it doesn't matter but for now it may help to subconsciously assist users on building their Nostr world

I'm just putting this thought out there maybe to you and nostr:npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c if you have more suggestions and thoughts, or if anybody wants to build it - I'm sure there are pros and cons to this idea - I don't know who are the relay developers here anymore tbh

could be useful for spam fighting but looks like a lot of work. in the future if the spammers get clever, more data would be needed yes.

I think you can also add some gibberish (non sense random words or random string) detection. I have seen some model or space in huggingface. This can be helpful for detecting non sophisticated spammer bot which use random char or random non sense words.

Build a "originality" index, a "educational" index and a "positiveness" index. Originality should praise people with new types of views/content. Educational should prase people with not necessarily new views but with good delivery of such content. And positiveness should measure how grumpy posts are.
