Great. Hiding words to filter out spammers introduces a new problem, on #amethyst at least - the little purple dot on notifications now never goes away.

notifications never on at the filter dot Hiding purple to least #amethyst a words away. spammers new goes on - introduces problem, out little Great. now
Hum.. if this is the spammer, the dot should disappear after the next notification. I will take a look at this.
It went away. Took a while. Its like it wanted the new spammer to get one more through.
Today's new spam attack is sending pics and video of hardcore gay porn.
Seems to be filtered out for now.
Yeah, some people have such a low life that they need to destroy what others have.
True... Is it an attempt to get people to stop using certain relays? Is there anything to be gained by causing people to stop using a relay?
They replies I am getting all come from nos.lol
I was also seeing them on Damus & primal relays. I've retreated behind the WoT wall now π

We really need a way to block relays.
Amethyst doesn't connect to random relays,.so all people need to do is to remove nos.lol
I donβt have that one but for some reason they still show up.
i think in the long run we need to move to something like requiring pow for new posts of new users or the npubs themselves. the attacker is using multiple IPs. @mazin 's purgatory type of structure may also work
For now you can just block posts with lain.la which is the media server the attacker is using.
There's one on this thread... It's like Fight Club, it still appears for a split second.
I haven't seen the spam because I don't use the main free relays. Those are the spam relays
I did see lots of spam links today on zap stream. I suspect they must be using the free relays. Stick to paid relays and wot relays and you shall be fine.
