Why is NOSTR sucking today- I have a ton of bots @ ā€œ mentioningā€ me but can’t even see the posts - is there a way to only allow people to @ mention you who follow you and follow back ?

Can’t prevent bots from doing that, but clients could filter out their notes for you. If you use only WoT relays, it probably would help filtering out the bots.

WoT + paid relays

Ouch šŸ˜” sorry to hear. Using different clients and choosing the right relays may help (including at least one paid)

Can you give me some top relays please - this is lame

Not saying it's perfect but that's one of my setups today šŸ‘€ā¤µļø with the one from nostr:nprofile1qqsqarzpaw2xv4cc36n092krdsj78yll7n2pfx5rv7fzp4n9jhlsl2spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuct60fsk6mewdejhgtcpypmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0v3jhyatwdejhyuewdejhgam0wf4j7qghwaehxw309a5kucn00qhxz7n6v9kk7tnwv46z7sc7dcs paid (used permanently). General practice:, Once in a while I check connected relays to see if they are active, how much spam there was reported etc. If there's a bigger problem I simply remove a specific relay (sometimes adding it back after a while, sometimes not). Generally trusted paid relays are free of spam. They don't cost much. Consider the one from nostr:nprofile1qqsfff483fdwhwayp0g64g3rfqgpxtpdsqzthythv9kyz0fuph0nyrspzamhxue69uhkymmnw3ezuct60fsk6mewdejhgtcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuct60fsk6mewdejhgtcpzamhxue69uhkjmnzdauzuct60fsk6mewdejhgtcw0q5e5 or / and nostr:nprofile1qqst72lw22q3f8rux5846y4wxt63f3uxflcsspgc9aqhs5uv93ppqpcpz4mhxue69uhk5etvd3ukv6tndqhxcctwvshs0lw8yj (a new project, personally haven't tried them yet, but it it looks decent).
