Braydon Fuller on Nostr: I've moved to only use paid and WoT filtered relays, and that has solved almost all ...
I've moved to only use paid and WoT filtered relays, and that has solved almost all spam. Anything that remains is easily caught with reports as Sybil attacks have been mitigated.
This solution, however, has revealed some single points of failure in that many notes are now only recieved through one relay, or through a WoT relay that isn't based upon my contacts (follows).
My solution to that has been to have my personal relay pull my contacts and fetch what relays they are using to sync notes from their relays to my personal relay. So I shouldn't miss anything.
However, many do not have NIP-65 listed relays, and negentropy syncing support is still growing, of which syncing with other relays depends.
It doesn't solve the problem of viewing comments from people far outside my social graph, yet. However, ecash, lightning, LLMs could all also be used as an additional means to filter notes for comments, notes and etc.
All of that could be wrapped up in a tiny UI and easy to setup, however, much is still in development. So it may not help immediately, but I believe this will be a great solution in the long-term.
