   So #Nostr. I don't post a lot, and I only follow a few folks. But even so, it seems like the majority of the "engagement" I get is spam replies from crypto bot accounts.

   If your bot isn't @X11R5 or @Question (both gone since the StatusNet days), I don't want it to reply or tag me unless I specifically tag it first.

      Actually, I think the two #bots were around for part of #GNUsocial after the #bifurcation split the network into #OStatus (mostly GS) and #Pump.io

      The Iris #Nostr client on #Android now has a "block and mute" function, so I've started using that against the #spambots.
      
      Nostr has some great ideas that are way beyond what either #OStatus or #ActivityPub branches of the #Fediverse are doing, but the spam and the fact that there's a really big #Bitcoin "Maxi" faction there are chasing regular people away.
