Replying to Avatar Rich Nost

Okay here's an anti-pattern of nostr. How do I know which of the clickable elements represent spoofed npubs with similar aliases and avatars? How do I even know this DM is legit? Obviously it's possible to verify, but the low friction for spam creates incentives for bots to relentlessly find the one dipshit, high and/or drunk enough to actually zap them 1000 SATs. Lets not forget that an army of gaypornspam bots were simultaneously implicating @semisol in some campaign to bully people into subscribing to his relay.

We addressed this in Nostrdesign.org but sadly very few people read it.

In short, show if you follow the npub, and check / display imposter label.
