We ignore & report them. An individual can stop an npub from seeing their events but anyone should be able to ignore anyone else's events.
Unless I follow you or you reply to an event that I care about, I'm unlikely to see your events anyway.
It's currently already harder to scam people in Nostr. The biggest risk is following someone who hasn't demonstrated PoW.
Isn’t the purple tick a form of verification Brisket?
Yeah - sort of. It shows that the npub is registered with that username on a specific web server.
I could easily register mudge@nostr.com.au and get a tick. The registration tick isn't super useful unless you know the person is registered with the domain. I couldn't link mudge@nostrplebs.com to another npub though.
Ahhh got ya. 👍🏻
