LFG 🤙
He spamming again...fuck this shit. 💩
There's a nerd challenge and I am here for it
Your client is the only usable one right now. Thank you!
Reply guy is now creating new npubs and impostering the original author of the respective note.
cool, good luck
Will tell my kids that this was the story of rocky 😂
Filter for avatar icon or checksum or username regexp.
If you are a relay operator and using nginx filtering out empty http_user_agent would helped for the time being. b4 thos guy changed it
put this in nginx's server scope
```
server {
server_name my.cool.site;
if ($http_user_agent = "" ) { return 403; }
}
```
This is censorship and a violation of human rights!
Nostr is for everyone. 🤙
Bot lives matter.
Mute Mute Mute! 👋🏽
Extreme, I know. But it works.
Funnily enough, I put that string into my muted list on Amethyst last week and I only see those notifications on Amethyst, never on Primal, which is my main app (mobile and desktop)
Ivan’s suggestion of muting WSS worked for me
🤣 🤣🤣🤣nostr:note1azw807dlh2wvv2xycnahz90n7u98rdajkcp35vf0klpmwxff2n8qkpj0f4
okay so im not the only one i was having a problem with primal on android and assumed it was linked with them somehow lol🫣
stress test on RELAY without CLOSING THE DOORS
IF we donot allow any ANON not pre-register npub to reply or broadcast on the nostr gossip then purpose of nostr will be DEFEATED
RATE LIMIT (words, frequency RW, post etc or other smart way to PREVENT or MITIGATE (but NOT stop) will be solution
he can reply once or twice is fine - at moment it is just clogging txt bytes in relays DB simialr what ordinals were doing in stuff in blocks
am sure victor n other will find workaround for ALL client / Relays
There are free and anonymous routes to nip5 npubs. It is as much my right to mute non-nip5 npubs at the client level as it is for them to post to whatever relay will have them.
it is not causing any immediate hard and ignored at client level.
Is there any solution how to auto block replyguys with some filters on #amethyst?
yep, you can add their name to the hidden words in the security filter and it goes away
Here is a simple suggestion for bot immunity - may be it is an opt in at user level ..
- Only those who I follow shoud be able to comment or react on my notes .. In a way "follow someone" is a proactive permission to "someone" to react to my notes - reply , quote , fork or like etc .. Rest everyone can read ..
- If someone want to react to my messages - they should first follow me .. and then I can choose to follow back ..
- If you dont "opt in " then every time someone follows you , you auto follow back ..
I know it is probably a protocol level change and it will reduce the traction (particularly for new users) .. but in the long it will help #nostr ..
There is no way to block anyone on anything in Nostr. You can only hide them.
Thats why I said it is a protocol level change .. I am sure relays will find easyier way to filter the spam attacks .. but changing the meaning of "follow" would go a long way ..
If we are being fair that’s what blocking is anyways
Yes .. I think the current blocking is only hiding the stuff .. relays still carry the reactions of the people I blocked ...
Btw - that is the difference between "notes" and "posts" .. notes mean default position is no one (except me) may react to what I noted ... posts are open submissions for comments .. or likes or whatev..
We should be true to the name :-) ..
When I see notifications in #Amethyst , the global view is riddled with "reply guy" ... but " All Follows" view is good ...
Maybe you wanna implement same logic in feed too .. no display (and reportinng ) from anyone who I dont follow ..
For example - add one more option for the "feed" ... "Only Follow" --- All follows means everyone , including bots -- "Only Follows" means - as the name suggest - only from the ones I follow ..
