I'm here for two days and welcoming was not so warm in Amethyst. I tried Nostr around a year ago and it's not a problem to make profile. But here's so much spam. I'm replying like machine gun, but like nobody can see me. Got 4 followers and one report from some crazy guy.

If Amethyst right, all default relays hit me with a spam.
Followed. Don't be frustrated. You don't need to be a machine gun. You just need to be consistent. This is my third account building from the ground. I've made some mistakes doxing myself and compromising my key (testing out other clients). Now I use Amber and keep my VPN "always on" mode. Seeing as we are so early I decided it's better to start over again now as opposed to later. It was also beneficial to spin up a new key with a mnemonic backup which wasn't available when I first started. at some point there will probably be key rotation in which I'll probably burn a key again.
Focus on being positive, real and forming meaningful connections. The stuff that worked on legacy social doesn't fly here.
We're under a spam attack now. You need to tweak your relays to use paid ones, web of trust relays, and small community relays. Avoid the major popular relays. Remove them.

Thank you, Derek.
Thank you! Followed back. I didn't think someone needs someone's keys, I just installed amethyst and create a new pair in app. Saved them on password manager and that's all. I hope Amethyst doesn't send my keys to anyone. As I understand, normal client connects only with relays, right?
