I just learned that nostr.mom has a bunch of antispam safeguards:
The relay does rate limiting based on IP. Counts the number of notes sent from an IP per time. If this number gets too high, rejects the notes.

If you use things that create more than one pubkey, like wrapped DMs, this relay will happily carry it because rate limiting function does not count events per pubkey.

It does read the reports of people (kind: 1984). And compares the reports to the user\'s web of trust. Basically if the reports are many and user\'s web of trust is not that great the notes are slowed down. It currently asks for proof of work before accepting such notes.

At the root of web of trust are many women. This may effectively give an upper ground to women if they want to slow down harrassments etc. But many women are following men and the final effect may not be that huge. The web of trust just starts with women but going forward everybody is included in calculations for the next steps. I didn\'t do any fine tuning for this algorithm. I am just sharing what is in it, to help with transparency.

Intended for end user. May not work with proxies, aggregators that are sending notes to it. Because such tools are going to relay many notes from the same IP.

NSFW, adult and other content that is not suitable for kids may be rejected. Do not send such posts, lets keep this relay friendlier for kids and moms.
