Just amazing to me there are people in the world that create a fake account and then spend their time copying a real account with reposts. đź« 

What level of degeneracy is this?

Obviously people with too much time on their hands

A sad reality to squander time in that manner.

There’s a lot of dumb people out there

Probably a child.

Sorry to break it to ya, but it's most likely part of well organized scammers ring all coming in from the Congo, Philipines, Nigeria and more.

I have several... Which is odd considering I'm a nobody.

I suspect they aren't active as none of they have reflected my name change, also none of them have a NIP05 verification...

Twitter invades nostr????

Right?

I saw on my notification feed in real time this fake account start to build itself by trying to replicate my event feed.

It felt like watching a raccoon dig into a trash can or something.

Nostr's social graph and web of trust helps take care of that, but users need to be aware of fakeries, and clients can help users by providing visual cues regarding clear fakery.

They wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work. I bet they actually succeed at scamming.

Absolutely. There's quite the predatory organized scammers presence on nostr. The very fact it's Bitcoin maxis centric makes it a very desirable hang out spot for them.

There are a lot of desperate people out there.
