Someone wants to prove a point with WoT 😂😂😂
These new spammers are interesting. They're using content from real notes, but replicating them across dozens of impersonation profiles.
For example. Search for "Right. I bet. I’m 6’2” so no confidence problem there." And you'll see it posted by a couple dozen well known Nostriches.
The original note was from nostr:nprofile1qqsx86hvsxkqtu4yl5qhyltm395sqshnpnk3k6du76s9x0kpu8xll0spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qv8td3g though.

that's what im assuming is happening here. if they're impersonating well known nostriches and not saying gibberish AI bullshit, maybe they'll get a follow and break into the WoT.
I see this as a necessary evil though.
I think a real "free speech" protocol allows spam as well. So this was sooner or later expected outcome.
Also we are still freaking early, better to fix these now then later.
spam may be allowed, because everything is allowed, but that doesn't mean it's wanted. soon enough, we'll have more robust tools to give all users these choices to make.
“Everything” is allowed will be Nostr’s downfall.
Bookmark it.
everything is allowed on FTP, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, etc. but that doesn't mean that all companies or infrastructure parties that utilize these protocols allow everything.
Nostr should be BTC only. Anything not related to BTC should be shunned & pushed away.
Born in a bear market when nobody cared.
It will succeed because of the bull. The BTC bull.
🍿
Shitcoiners are welcome here. It demonstrates the openness of the protocol.
And that’s why I’m hoping Nostr fails.
have you considered not using nostr then? right now you're actively ensuring it's success by using it.
My crew is BTC only.
Mute works well for now. Bots work well too it seems.
I’m just here for the show. Time will tell.
Shitcoin away. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
I’d rather people not be bitcoiners and stumble upon Nostr, get zaps and send zaps and not realize they are using ₿.
“The purple pill makes the orange pill go down smoother” so I’ve heard from Dan
I don’t care about Orange Pilling anyone.
I like smart people that don’t need to be spooned baby food to survive. Got a little dribble on your chin sweetie.
If you don’t get it by now, I don’t care about you at all.
FUCK OFF.
99% of people I know don’t know shit about ₿. I don’t see that as there fault when all they have seen is terrible mainstream news about it.
I care about those people, that’s family friends acquaintances.
I don’t have time to try and orange pill them, it’s like Satoshi said if you don’t get it, I don’t have time to convince you.
They will get it at the price they deserve.
Nostr could fail, ₿ could fail, nothing is forever, everything is temporary.
But these are the freedom tools now.
I want normal regular non laser eyes people on here.
They deserve the human right of freedom of speech.
At least I know we can’t be friends. That’s a good thing. I’m growing by eliminating.
Definitely! Fine grained filtering.
Also will be interesting how the "network", we react on the possible censorship for such notes.
I am using ditto.pub now and cannot easily note that you are Derek Ross other than the NIP05 (?) verification. On damus I can see the check mark.
Plot twist: it's the same person who was posting geolocation screenshots based on IP to encourage VPN/Tor and nostr privacy
It could be. It doesn't really matter who it is. The only thing that matters is their actions continue to highlight the need for better user tools.
There's definitely a place for that sort of thing!

What a time
Could also be some of those that are trying to quickly build a WoT score to then pivot the account. Or just building a WoT score to then sell followers on a Fiverr, etc. Depending if they can scale it obviously.
