Subnostr

I think the issue of spam in Global Feed can be solved easier if feature like "Keyword Filter" were implemented in every Nostr client. In this case, every user can choose whatever they want to see in their Feed.

This is a bit of implementation for Snort. I believe other client can also implement similar features. Sorry, for my dirt code 😅

This is a filter you apply to the content once it's on your end right? I'm against complicating the protocol (and probably relays performance) but something similar as a filter to the relay would be cool

Yes, this is only applicable sample in client side. I modified Snort code locally only running on my phone. I think I have 90% free of spam with this simple approach. Probably, most of spam is advertising type spam could be solved like this.

I think for complex spam message should be addressed by relay using various strategy (rate-limit, text similarity analysis, etc). We don't need to list all the keyword. At least, we as the simple user could filter on our end.
