i have 6 spam notes in my notifications per minute

You can only really do this if it was a targeted attack due to my ip based relay rate limits, but it’s possible its slipping through via other relays. I will test this
No sure I get it. But I was just saying it may not be specifically targeting you/personal. Doesn't make it less annoying or anything lol. But I suppose it's just not someone who hates you, so that's... something :) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Based on analysis of all the incoming spam on my relay it does specifically targeting me, the replyguy spam is not effective on my relay due to rate limits, but targeted attacks are still possible.
Ok, I'm just guessing here cos I've also been seeing it on on vitor's post and fiatjaf's. The rainbow impersonation stuff?
What do you mean by rainbow?
That's the spam I'm seeing. Let me get a screenshot as an example
Oh interesting, i see its targeting vitor and fiatjaf as well. I will turn off all other relays and see if its some specific relay not stopping it
I'm seeing this sort of thing a lot. Impersonator rainbow spam.
Like impersonator accounts that repost old notes maybe (?) with lots of rainbows in the text.
It seems to be on popular notes / accounts.
I assumed it was just me because they aren’t adding lots of p tags which would have been smart, but maybe that would be easier to block
I guess 6/minute ratelimit is still not enough to stop this. Even on a slow drip its still annoying. Next thing will be tracking numbers of notes per ip i guess and blocking the ones that are doing this.
