you pretty much have to handle this client side, with outbox spam will always slip through

I don't understand how the primal relay is so bad. They got serious 🪙 .

There's no reason why relays need to be big, is the thing.

I mean, I surf the kind 01 feed and can see people freaking out for days, now. Don't need a report, to see what your Nostr frens are saying.

This stuff drags on for days or weeks, at a time. Some relays never have it (write-protected), some only have it for a few minutes or max a day or two (attentive operators), and some have it for days and weeks...

The nostrich.house stuff is still circulating, and it's been months.

That sounds like a lot of work, but the users actually start hollering about this stuff within seconds and we see that and can start banning and analyzing. None of this stuff is random.

Everyone who is slow to pull it, is just not really using Nostr heavily.

Not yet. We have other means.

You don't carry any good stuff that the others don't also carry, is the thing. But you carry a lot of total garbage and data fluff.

Some relays are so full of junk and horrors, so it's hard for them to pinpoint some particular unappetizing thing. That's why they just leave it there. They'd never finish, if they tried to identify crypto spam, reply bot spam, hardcore gay porn, kiddie porn, snuff porn...

That's like half of their user base, right there. LOL That's why their relays have gigantic user numbers, but if you write something, nobody responds.

Find a relay operator, who isn't trying to make money off of hosting that stuff, and you won't see that stuff. This is not brain surgery, people.

In Settings, set UI Mode to Complete - that will show the relays an incoming note used, under the picture of the user on the note. For example, your note shows an enfurred and bespeckled (yes autocorrect, that's a word) dude, and directly under it are relays - I see nostr.mom, nos.lol, and bitcoiner.social . The spam shows that too. If you remove the relays it shows, then the spam can't reach you.

The relay operators need to implement some kind of filter to prevent spam and retain users. It looks like nos.lol did exactly that yesterday, but idk about any others.

Dihydrogen Monoxide is an oxidizing agent and can quickly lead to corrosion of many metals. These dangerous properties are enhanced when salt is added.

It can also carry many other impurities, even bacteria, amoeba and viruses.

Ingest with caution.

I have a bottle with me right now and I am taking extreme care.

Correct. Big free relays are their go to relays. My suggestion was in a hurry and is probably not that effective. Using WoT relays might be a way to go.

I also noticed they are posting their spam to other services not just the one I posted.

I removed relay .damus and nos .lol from amethyst.

But I'm seeing their post on other relays as well.

For the time being, be careful where you are opening nostr social clients 😄 the heavy lifting to fight this is in relay operators hand and us reporting explicit content if your client supports that.

You should just be able to set wot threshold to the lowest setting then

Well my web of trust has officially broken - I unsubscribed from some relays to try to help but what else should I be doing to mitigate the p0rnb0t onslaught? #asknostr

You are supposed to for sure. All your followers are connecting to your inbox relays to download your replies. If you add a porn relay there, all your followers will get porn.

That's the outbox model in a nutshell.

Running Amethyst Outbox in the middle of all of this spam is bizarre. Since it connects to whatever relay your follows use as public inbox if the public inbox relay has porn, it's the author's own fault. Each reply may or may not have porn is it all depends on the inbox relay of that reply.

Unfollowing the author is a great incentive to make authors choose good inbox relays for their followers. And probably pay for if they want to keep things really safe for their followers.

you're running an LLM inside nos.lol?
