very very good for spam protection (i never read the global) .... With this the spambots need to have at least 1 person that follows them, then i can block this person. This makes spam impossible (at least in my case) because i could block the 1 person that follows the spam bots :-)

Have you tried nostr.wine filter relay?
I really have spam to deal with, just poor content occasionally
i have about 20 paid relays i use..... i do not want any filters (personal opinnion) this is why i follow many. It makes it much much more easy for me to kick what i not want to see... then to search through what i DO want to see.
I am lazy... thats why i try to do less work , or the same work in a less time consuming action.
(following 1800 people on iris.to, took me only 2 minutes...) filtering to get it acceptable took 20min.
No pressure, but if you want to understand how filter.nostr.wine works, checkout the readme here: https://filter.nostr.wine
There are misconceptions about what it does and how. The only thing we augment are your global requests (to your follows+their follows), and it’s just a single relay so you can add as many other relays as you want and choose to display the ideal combination in global. It’s useful for broadening your circle considerably beyond your direct follows.
