ReplyGuy spam sucks, however it's allowing for the emergence of a stronger and more robust Nostr. If we have a wide open communication protocol, that means that anyone and everyone can participate if they choose to do so. ReplyGuy is nothing. Trust me. It's so insignificant compared to what's coming in the future. ReplyGuy is a wake-up call to developers, but also to users too. None of us should be complacent when we need to be vigilant with our social communication. This is a mere scrimmage for what's coming down the road. Use this time to build solutions. Use this practice game to fine tune your relays.
You can choose paid relays or choose smaller community relays, such as those built on WoT or other metrics.
We have a lot of choices for paid relays. Maybe you'll use Mazin (nprofile…sgtg)'s wss://nostr.wine or nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd8wgv5w (nprofile…gv5w)'s wss://nostr.land as your paid relays. You can find more at https://nostr.watch by sandwich (nprofile…45kh).
What are WoT relays? These are a semi-new concept. They can be invite only or they can be constructed via a person's personal Web-of-Trust follow list.
For example: You use use wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com by fiatjaf (nprofile…xuyp) if you are invited by an existing user. Additionally, you can use wss://wot.utxo.one or wss://nostrelites.org if you're in the Web-of-Trust of either utxo 🌑 (nprofile…xpeu) or myself. (Meaning one of us follows you or one of the people we follow follows you, going one layer deep in our social connection.)
More WoT relays will pop-up or already do exist.
As the outbox model grows and gains popularity, smaller community relays will become the normal way that people use Nostr the most, IMO.
If you're a relay operator that's combatting spam, feel free to shill it down below in the comments.
