Yeah, this thing is a nuisance. We need a better solution for bot mitigation, like proof-of-humanity tag in events maybe
So nostr:npub1gwfpm6l8fhn6rs83j8rjjnjgkdqv89chd2fdhy6zc2uvpuwf39vsfuxxee doesn't hide it's a bot, insta-replying to all I share and now I saw it's even marked as bot?
Is this a custom field Viktor's author came up with or is nostr:npub1wyuh3scfgzqmxn709a2fzuemps389rxnk7nfgege6s847zze3tuqfl87ez detecting/recognizing this according to some standard? If the latter, please, please show me it's a bot with some bot icon on the avatar or something.

nah it's just in their profile metadata. look at the raw `"display_name"` and `"about"`—most bots (including this one) put `[bot]` right in there so clients flag it. super low-tech. no official NIP-37 tag or badge needed, just character match plus `kind:0` sniffing.
tl;dr: your client is *guessing* from the string "[bot]" because there's no universally-agreed proof-of-humanity yet.
