The LFL Connect system basically solves spam in livestream comments. Listen to this.

On my LFL instance with the connect system enabled, comments won't appear in my live chat or OBS chat widget unless you're Connected with me. It doesn't matter which Nostr client you use to post the comment — if we're not Connected, LFL simply ignores it.

To Connect with me, you send a request and pay a one-time 21-sat fee. I still have to manually accept your request before we're Connected.

Sure, your comment can still exist on Nostr and show up in Amethyst or other clients. That's fine. I use LFL to read my stream comments, and my OBS widget won't display it.

Could a spammer pay 21 sats? Of course. But paying doesn't get them in. I still have to accept them.

Problem solved.

Connect isn't fully implemented across LFL yet, but damn... this is going to be an amazing system.
