There is much to explore in detail but to answer your questions: If they mention me, client could check if they have followers in that thread or if my follows follow them. This should be cheap to do relay wise as the client could load the follows list with each profile it sees. More involved checks would be replies in the last hour, age of the account etc. but I would like to get these posts not hidden but marked as potential spam at a certain threshold and hidden at another. This way, new accounts still get a chance to get discovered but I'm very conservative when reading notes from people with zero followers I know. Bots will just drown us with engaging content and no relay can protect you from that.
