the users coming out of mostr.pub are nip5 to that domain so easy filter

Do any nostr clients have the ability to block an entire relay? I’m thinking folks who don’t want to see posts which are mirrored from another network like minds or monstr’s fediverse gateway?

How would that even work?

These ppl have a warped sense of reality.

Imagine being afraid of words. 😂

Both bridges?

Where are all the Fediverse people? Does Mastodon show up on the bridge too?

I figured out how to use mostr.pub, AMA

Fedi test... To me, myself, and I.

No pic this time

uh oh

i think i figured out where the spam is coming from:

wss://relay.mostr.pub

the Fediverse/Mastodon bridge.

it appears that this bridge functions as a general purpose relay - not only a bridge - and the spam bots have discovered it.

i can't have it enabled on Damus' global timeline if it's going to continue doing that. the bridge should probably not be accepting anything that isn't at least interacting with Fediverse users.

Alex brought up one earlier where basically, if enough people download their followers, it will ddos a relay. I’ve seen relay operators complain about this before too. Some ppl also don’t like that Nostr relies on json. I don’t actually know if that matters or not but I’ve seen 2 people bring it up.

sometimes, was wack earlier. i think these clients all use their own hacked-up replaceable events to store stuff and wind up losing data when you move between them

Depends, people keep bringing up technical limitations that do seem legitimate. But the hosting model is better and hopefully that can carry it.

iris has been busted recently, moved to coracle.   not sure what's up.
