*call
exercise freedom of mute
i do repeatedly, because i am learning that my mute list gets nuked in different clients as well as other people feeling the same harassment from a bot.....so is the bot "free speech"?
Harassment, is not free speech.
Anyone harassing someone else and calling it free speech, is a coward that's too scared to say the exact same thing to a person's face.
And, they are an ignorant fool, because freedom of speech only applies to what you say about the government without fear of reprisal.
No one has ever had the right to harass another person. There will be consequences if you do.
ty, and now what do we do about the bots that are created by said people?
That's a very good question.
The Dan bot pumping out the hello world spam under a new npub each cycle is a good example. It's easy to block because it reuses the same text. What if it used a new npub each time with random text but flooded a hashtag or tagged a person to harass them? That gets tough to block.
Is it possible to flood nostr with bots so as to make it unusable?
Federated servers can block offending accounts, and federated servers can block another server that's not proactively blocking offensive accounts.
But, federated servers can also block or delete any account using their server that's saying things they don't personally like.
Which to me, just replaces one Elon, with a couple of dozen Elon's. Censorship by a committee.
Sooo, how long until we get a bot swarm attack on nostr?
to be honest, if someone or some corporation wanted to destroy nostr, it would deploy many bots that are very disheartening to the human psyche, and this is a very big issue we all need to address in the modern age of free speech and technology
