There's no good way to clean it up. All the spam filters on nostr are currently broken af so by the time you actually block spam, you're also missing half the actual users posting on nostr

nostr will not succeed if this is the case
i love the tech, it's the future, all social should be like this, but this new user onboarding is way too frustrating for nostr to succeed
there has to be a better app or something out there that helps with this? i want to like & use nostr so bad =(
literally scrolled today and came across some random account I don't follow posting CP links
So far I'm really sure any app that helps will also filter way too many real users. It will be big news when a better nostr client comes along. And you're right, nostr won't succeed until then 🤙
Sorry it's not better yet
it was hashtags! i found out why and yup, when I used damus/nostr a long time ago I followed several hashtags, and I guess some of these bots or bad actors snuck in with one of the ones I followed. changing those now, thank you so much
The best hashtag is asknostr but the bots get in there too
I'm glad nostr is working well enough for you now 💯 sorry I didn't see the issue clearly enough to help solve it
