quoting note1wjf…d208I know people are going to fight me on this but they are wrong. It’s like going around jamming a mesh network signal and drowning it with noise. Is it censorship to stop that signal? No, the jamming is disrupting the network.
I almost never suggest this kind of thing at the relay level but you *can’t* do this kind of filtering at the client level, since IPs are not exposed to clients. If we’re pumping megabytes of spam to clients for filtering that is not really ideal either.
Again, this is just a *public* relay issue, a fight I’m not willing to give up yet since you shouldn’t need to pay or KYC to speak note1h7x…633h

Free relays that allow and store unlimited spam will simply stop working long term. It is not an option to just ignore it and let the clients filter.
