Luckily, the direct propagation algorithm is completely immune to this attack. The only thing the bots can do is increase your reach, if someone happens to follow one of them. Your role in the web of trust is entirely under your control, based on people you follow. Transposition and co-citation are vulnerable to sybil attack though, and should be used in tandem with other methods for asessing trust.

Another foolproof method of reducing spam: nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqyhjp3nd83hxklumz9elp6gmth2zrhr804hrcrktpmplygwtw4jjqqxnzde38q6rwwph8qcrvdpjwz7qav
Just like I don't really follow people, I don't have a lightning address attached to my npub either
Those are fine choices, but you must realize you're choosing tradeoffs. not following / no zaps - these choices mean certain UX dimishments. Which is fine if that's what you want (we all choose tradeoffs in our technologies for various reasons).
Nah. People developing curation systems that don't make sense are trying to force tradeoffs on me. I'm just gonna run trustworthy npubs and systems that don't work will not recognize my npubs as trustworthy and systems that work well will be good at recognizing my npubs as trustworthy.
Thank you, hodlbod. That makes sense.
