Yeah, I remember there was a discussion On What to Do about Spam sometime last week, and the sentiment was that mute was unsustainable.
I’ve been turning that over in my head since then and I think it’s the only option I trust.
It would be cool if the relay or the client could filter out actual spam, but I distrust them to do so responsibly in aggregate. It’s early and (I think) this space is populated with good-faith actors, but I don’t want to cede the filtering responsibility.
