1 bot is bringing down the protocol …
I am concerned the reply guy replies will greatly reduce the usability of nostr… It is getting bad..

How can this not be fixed yet…

It's on you.
It's on everyone else.
There's no central authority to appeal to.
That's the point.
The only thing this exposes is how badly people "understand" the nostr protocol.
Client Devs don’t want to give users the ability to filter on NIP05s. It could be solved with that but apparently blocking whole domains would be worse than all of us getting spammed non-stop.
Would it solve it though? Bot would just spin up its own nostr addresses
The spammers would just include nip-05 as part of spam. It's a whackamole
Let them try.
Then it’s on NIP05 providers to keep their service clean - not too much to ask for paid service providers.
Then they have to fallback to their own domains for NIP05 which is cost and friction they can’t keep up for long before we block them all.
