Drop some of the most-affected relays.
Discussion
Yes.
They were mostly oxtr originated. I dropped it. Let me see what happens.
What is oxtr ? I only know nostr:npub1ktt8phjnkfmfrsxrgqpztdjuxk3x6psf80xyray0l3c7pyrln49qhkyhz0 :D
Sorry for the spam. I’m rate limiting spammers actively but it’s hard to block them entirely on a relay which is free to use for anyone. I’m going to try to build tools that improve relay defence against attackers.
It is strange for me. Sometimes I don't see any spam and then other threads are full of it.
They now look like real well know npubs but post random unrelated comments.
