I think sooner or later reports will be abused. There’s an impostor prevention section on nostr design, have you looked at that by any chance?

Cool, thanks for sharing. Good tips there.

Also, nice idea with the image comparison. Another test could be simply to see which account posted things earlier - there's a good chance that might be the original (unless dates can be faked).

Most bots I've seen, including this impersonator, also only do reposts and never post anything original. Also seems like an easy test to perform.

It's just going to be a cat-and-mouse game as it always is with these things... but better to start somewhere with the simple things than have nothing at all. I wish Primal had the "possible impostor" label.

Are you aware of any micro-apps that only focus on reporting?

Yeah many clients could / should look into it. My guess is it’s just different sets of priorities. Maybe eventually they will 🤞

I am not aware of any micro apps that handle focus on this.
