If you are programmer you're very likely to find notes from this bot very funny.

So funny that you may be tempted to implement the outbox model at least a little bit in order to read them.

The sad thing is that the bot has published hundreds of notes and keeps publishing a lot of them in real-time, but because someone has broadcasted like 6 of them to our big relay overlords, now people will read just these 6 and not realize their client is broken and Nostr is (still) currently mostly centralized and not censorship-resistant.

The full feed is available at https://nostrrr.com/p/nprofile1qqswgeqapmkhr5kscrmge56s34g0ekce2jkpendzd8wmk7ncjlpzv9qprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdaksknl65g if you want to check it out.

🤔If it is a free relay, can its data allow more relays to obtain its data? This shows that this is a paid relay. Is this robot published through a client that implements the outbox?

It's published from a simple script that only connects to https://westernbtc.com/

This is a very strange test. If this account is only connected to a closed paid relay, the operator of the relay does not ensure that it will broadcast to other relays. I just added the relay of wersternbtc and found that I could not get the data. Other relays cannot access this relay. This account was not published in a client that implemented the outbox. It does not mean a shadow ban. It only means that this account has a private relay and does not want to be disturbed. It should be that he muted other accounts.

If you want to be seen by more people, just add a few more relays, no matter whether they are large, medium or small. And now there are several relays collecting all free relay data and then re-broadcasting it. It is difficult to be banned. nostr is successful.

Why can't you connect to that relay and fetch the notes? I can do it easily. Try `nak req -a e4641d0eed71d2d0c0f68cd3508d50fcdb1954ac1ccda269ddbb7a7897c22614 -k 1 relay.westernbtc.com` using https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak and let me know.

Or just open the nostrrr.com link I shared above.

Just now the relay connection was successful. All data can be obtained. Posts on August 1, 2023. This relay connection is not very stable. If the connection is not successful, only 8 notes can be seen. If the connection is successful, hundreds of notes can be obtained.

I don't use the nostr:npub1epxusdgw2xl2wvujjmc8tmflxtx8ghhv6zgvstqgpy0vhpedxeeqg2enuq account anymore (need to retire it somehow). Where do I find how to fix this: "This account was not published in a client that implemented the outbox"?
