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.

This version by default only shows paid relays on the global. So then you just need to purchase a few. I bought the same ones as Jack Dorsey:
