in amethyst you can block the URL of their profile picture from your security filters settings or you can reconfigure your relays to use relays that aren't allowing them to post - this includes paid relays and WoT relays.

I've tried, they come back
I'm this close to just leaving
The blocking of image URL works for me, (apart from when there is a slight lag on loading the profile pic).
I would love for there to be a simple 'pick optimal relay configuration' button lol. That takes into account what you have paid for eg if you have wine. Or what you have previously used. Or something . I don't know. I really haven't configured my set up at all. In fact I've failed miserably lol
i don't think we're there yet, but yes an auto-pilot picking of the relays from a pool of relays that meets a specific subset of criteria would be superior for most users.
A little magic wand for people who don't want to / can't do it properly (me). With a little warning that manual would be a better choice but it'll do it's best. I would click that, cos I really can't figure it out:)
love it. as long as there's some transparency, people should hopefully appreciate it.
i don't see them at all and i have their profile pictures block and i have my relays configured to use paid relays, WoT relays, or relays that mitigate spam better than others.
the other option is to use a client that handles all of this quite well for you. have you tried Primal? https://primal.net
I did but much preferred Amethyst. As much as I adore the ethos of nostr based applications, it is worrisome that you have to be of dev quality to overcome spam
