👀🤯 THE MOST SPAMMING NOSTR RELAYS LIST

I put together a list of the most spamming relays to see if any particular relay(s) are the biggest source of the spam issues. As it turns out, there are 4 that are by far the worst offenders.

What I did was take the number of posts over the last 24 hours to the relay (as indexed in NostrGram) and divided that by the number of users for that relay. I keep stats on how many users each relay has, and rebuild those stats a couple of times a day.

As it turns out, the worst offenders BY FAR are:

**relay, post count (24 hrs), user count, posts/user (24 hours)**

wss://relay.nostr.bg, 74892, 6544, 11.4

wss://nostr-relay.digitalmob.ro, 65063, 194, 335.4

wss://nostr.drss.io, 56028, 467, 120

wss://nostr.einundzwanzig.space, 36742, 453, 81.1

Since paid relays are the most likely to reflect how often real people post on average, I checked the average of all the paid relays in terms of posts per user per day. They average 1.2 posts per user per day (the Damus relay also averages about 1.1 per day).

**The top 4 worst offenders average 140 posts per user per day.** 🤯

I am removing those 4 relays from NostrGram indexing effectively immediately, and I recommend you remove them from your read/write list as well to prevent performance issues on whatever client you use.

s/o to #[0] for suggesting I put together some metrics
