Had anyone dug into the massive surge in nostr account activity over the past 2 weeks?

Looks like 90% of note volume is coming from a new cohort of accounts with zero trust ranking (no connection to the core growth of active users.)

Someone attempting a spam / Sybil attack?

A sybil attack on Nostr is significantly more dangerous than on Bitcoin because of the high value in deanonymizing people who write controversial content.

Uh, what are you even talking about? You can't Sybil attack nostr by just creating new users.
