Can you explain me what is your problem, i am a developer i am testing on this account.
I am a little worry about security of the network and relay.
I've seen a user here with this npub : npub1wpu9dsevjs72ujpaxyznd2llvnu2hgpu2q5a697ugr8nt3kcm35qq0xyp8
He has created his account today, have been following about 1200 users and after unfollow quite all of them.
He had liked all my recent notes immediately after i post them.
And there is multiple "like" of him on my notes which should not be possible ?
One user can like multiple time one note ?
On some of my note he liked them 7 times (it is what primal display) ???
I am not complaining about this, we can expect this kind of bot-assisted account. A real man that write true note and reply, assisted with a bot that flood the network of follow/like or whatever.
But i really worry about bot attack against the relay and the network.
If a little bot can do so much flood, what could happen under thousands bots flood...
It is hard to know if there is a human behind a public key and not a bot or a AI. But i think it will be the real next challenge to avoid #nostr been under this kind of attack one day.

I hope one day they will be a AI that could watch the network to defend and mute this kind of account, but until that what could we do ?
Warning someone ? Who ? Where ? How ?
Keeping in mind that this flooding bot could also flood fake warning to make noise.
I really like when things stay simple and not mass used because they are place of real freedom.
But when it scale too huge, you have the bad people that come to fight it whatever reasons they have.
Sorry for this news, i just give you my concern without filter.
Have a nice journey all.
Discussion
I don't have a problem with you personally.
I am just warning about security and flood concern.
You are just an example of what could happen in a huge attack of the network. And this is the point.
I am not bot attacking... I am just testing web 3.0 platform.
You, yes.
But a massive attack is possible.
As i said, you are a good example of what is possible :
- Follow huge quantity of user in short time
- like every new note posted
- like again and again the same note (no limit?)
You are alone doing your test, and it is fine.
Just imagine that with 1000 bots. It's a security concern.
You can mute one person (i didn't mute you finally), but you can't mute 1000 bots. You get my point ?
Thank you for having bringing light to this.
I have one question are you a developer or ???
What would it change ?
I am a #nostr user since few days, and i like this place more than i expected.
I just want to preserve it anyway i can.
You can continue your tests, as i ever said my aim was not to point you.
But just using your actions as an example of what could be done with a bad usage.
In a way your tests have perhaps help for futures improvements of this network.
Thank you again.
