I removed Damus, primal and nos.lol relays and it stopped the gay porn spam. Paid + WoT relays only. New users aren't going to stick around with this happening so open relays aren't necessary.

Me too.

I don’t want to see this crap.

New users better learn to jump on paid relays.

Their first impression will convince them to leave permanently.

You can’t convince anyone to sign up for a paid relay. If you’re bringing your friends on you will have to pay for them up front.

I wouldn't onboard my friend's yet, Nostr isn't anywhere near ready for normies 😂 If I ever did I run my own WoT relay that I could put them on.

Might be a while.

I'm not holding my breath 😅

can't their clients teach them?

do you think it will ever stop? I don't see why it should stop

That's not working, exactly, for me. So weird.

Then you must have another open relay that is getting the spam, identify it and disconnect from it.

I also had to close my app and clear the cache, that could be it.

I was curious why I have yet to see it

I'm still curious. I'm using primal default relays and have yet to see a dick pick.

In the same boat. Not sure what people are talking about

I haven’t come across any explicit content or gay porn. It’s not because I avoid free relays, it’s just that my feed runs on who I follow. I only follow someone new if someone I already follow boosts or quotes their note, and then I check their stuff out and actually like it.

Nostr users two years ago:

* Freedom

* Decentralization

* No censorship

Nostr users after gay porn:

* Let's share ban lists

* Relays are for the elite!

* Only my friends should be able to read my notes

* If you're not ready to pay for relays, you're not ready to use Nostr

Primal is good for me now. Not so much spam. Paid relays only is no way for new users, and those who's here for reading will never pay anyway.

Non-issue, as most of the paid relays are open-read and restricted-write.

You can read from most paid relays. That’s the best thing about them.
