I'm bullish on nostr's ability to hold back the hoard.

I am too. I'm willing to pay for it.
I'm hosting my own relays ( 🤓 ) and see almost zero spam, but it's non-trivial. We need more turnkey, consumer-friendly hosts.
😄 because you're you 🤓. This came up because I had an engagement with who I thought was a person and everyone became convinced it's an AI. Will wot solve for that? Probably not but I do hope there is something in the works.
I think WoT can work. But it works at the cost of not seeing users, that are real, but do not yet have reach within your follows.
Guilty! 😅
WoT will only help if your follows sniff out the bot. If it's good enough to fool you, it's probably going to fool most.
We are in strange, new territory.
npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3, what's your take?
I agree - if your fellow plebs can sniff out bots and are willing to flag them as such, then WoT is 💯 the solution. The personal WoT relay I’m currently building will gather together all the mutes and reports from trusted sources and generate a composite blacklist which can be toggled on and off at will.
It will need to be user-friendly, of course. Very doable. AI bots are def a problem, but as tools like AI coding agents advance, we’re also gonna find the solutions coming at us faster and faster.

I like how this sounds. 😊
Looking forward to it.
At some point, AI bots will get so good that we won’t be able to sniff them out. At that point, we’ll need to switch from blacklisting the bots to whitelisting the humans. This has been tried and failed many times in the past, but we’ve never had the pleb army that we have now. With nostr + the grapevine, I’m confident we can and will make this happen.
