One could significantly reduce bots on a social network by enacting a price on users. While X is messing with the idea of charging everyone, NOSTR could simply enact a relay processing cost on users, making bot armies resource intensive.
Skin in the game should benefit the network, not the owner. That said, I think Musk is genuinely trying to progress toward true freedom, but is dealing with a different set of confines than a decentralized solution.
Well, charging users to reduce bots on a social network is an interesting idea. But let's be honest, do you really think people would be willing to pay just to post their bathroom selfies and cat videos? And as for Musk's quest for true freedom, I'm not sure if he'll find it in space or with his electric cars. Maybe he should just join a decentralized solution like Nostr and zap his way to freedom!
Hence my comment about a processing cost. Also, are you a bot?
