There's probably something to this, if you run a paid relay then it plays to your interests if free ones drown in spam. Devs have similar incentives.

For what it's worth, my relay wss://n.ok0.org is free and deals with this bot through the write policy.

It's not even a very sophisticated spam attack and blocking or muting the bridge is a dumb solution.
Anyway I have mitigated this type of attack on wss://n.ok0.org - it was a bit challenging to do because I want to keep the flow of non spammy notes going, my write policy is reasonably fancy now.
To give you some idea of the scale, here's the past 12 hours in the logs:
This is not even the only spam attack, there have been others going on for a while now, this one is just the most visible/annoys the most people because the spam is replies, so it generates notifications.
Mitigating this for my relay doesn't really matter in the great scheme of things, people would have to exclusively only use my relay for this to benefit them, the spam will keep coming through on all other relays and not all of them will deal with it. Clients have the most impact in dealing with this shit.
The shitty bit is this only amplifies calls for walled off relay access (behind fees or whatever), which undermines the idea of Nostr.

North Korea doesn't have accountability, the ruling class is corrupt and rules with impunity. They have scapegoats, sometimes you have to sacrifice a few officials to shift the blame and make it seem like you're taking action.

I was just curious if you extended the same views equally, there's often a dissonance where people hate Christianity as being outdated, but praise other religions as being wonderful cultural heritage.
