Could reuse vanity npubs as a way to bake PoW into nostr identity creation which would solve this bot spam.

i.e. only show people I follow and npubs that start with "npud21" or something like that (no clue what the correct number of characters would be). Could be a simple way to clean up global 🤷‍♂️

Not sure if you've seen #introductions this morning... nobody can keep up with blocking them all. Several a second are being created

You are right. I would support that PoW plan. At least we could have a special treatment for npubs that startwith any special sequence. I'll test some durations on my AMD 3700X.
