You won’t be able to welcome any noobs until someone in your network follows them though
Web of Trust Relay:
This relay looks at who you follow, and who they follow, and saves every note in this trust network automatically.
I added it as my only relay in amethyst and spam is now completely gone.
Anyone in my web of trust can use my relay:
wss://wot.utxo.one
But the much better solution for nostr is to run your own WoT relay

ps I'm faster than nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp

I think it’s better to filter client side. For example, I can browse my feed using Coracle with less spam notes because of WoT, but I can easily hop over to another client to welcome noobs.
do you use coracle as your daily driver?
Nah. I mostly use Damus and my fork of Primal.
Do you think you can fix the bug where Primal always adds an extra space before every tagged npub?
I’ll can look into it tomorrow
What did you change in your nostr fork?
I mainly forked it cause there’s a major bug that makes the site unusable for me with this account and they’re not responding to issues and PRs. So I fixed the bug, made the like button a 🤙 instead of ❤️, and made it possible to zap with other wallets besides Alby.
I was also working on displaying the actual emojis used in reactions, but ran into an issue
