Nostr was very cool until the Chinese flooded in spamming ads and wechat links.
Anyone can let me know how to filter them out? It is around 95% spam at this point.
There are really 3 ways to prevent spam reliably in a "global" system, ie a commons:
- algorithmically, e.g. bayesian spam filtering, ... a constant arms race
- [transitive] reputation, e.g. WoT
- making it expensive
The more of (1) and (2) you can use, the less of (3) you need. But you probably want all of them at scale.
