Facebook required friend requests before anyone could interact with your profile—no likes, comments, or messages unless they were connected.

I never had issues with spam or bots on Facebook.

But on Nostr, just like on X, my profile is already getting spammed by bots. It's annoying.

Nostr needs a friend request system.

How are you going to do it?

Mute user works surprisingly well

It's doesn't work because as Nostr grows bigger in users then you'll be spending your days muting bots everyday to the point that muting them is not good enough. X is that way. Bots like your content day after day.

Mute packs 🤔

won't work because someone out there still has to waste time muting them not farms will just easily make more npubs

I optimistic regardless. Probably because I want NOSTR to work.
