One of the downsides of Nostr that I’ve been thinking about is the amount of garbage content that must be filtered on the front end. People keep posting test content or fake content for testing or by mistake and it all shows up in the feeds. This makes it difficult to have a quality website that delivers long form for example. You pretty much can’t show “global” articles from relays and even from following you see a lot of garbage.

You guys figure this out cuz it’s annoying af 🤣

Tired of seeing a bunch of Lorem ipsum crap. Normal people won’t tolerate it.

Not for global, but for following, https://fraidyc.at/ has an insanely simple solution.

> Rather than showing you a massive inbox of new posts to sort through, you see a list of recently active individuals. No one can noisily take over this page, since every follow has a summary that takes up a mere two lines.

the only garbage i see in my timeline is your posts !
