Ok, I'll stop it this weekend. But for Nostr: What is the difference to X now? Everyone uses like 5 relays, all the same... How's that decentralised anymore? Nostr can't compete to X if 450 ai bots are a problem - that's my message. Sorry.

Thank you.
I think your point has been made. Just as it's been made several times over the past year and a half from other people running bots. We don't have great tools to combat bots and spam on Nostr. Can you help with a solution here? Maybe that's what we need most? People working on the solution?
As for centralization, an Outbox model fixes this. All major clients have committed to implementing this at some point this year.
Love too. Learning from e-mail would be, that only cost can prevent mass-spam. Learning from evolution would be, that solutions follow challenges... I'll try to be helpful here.
For the outbox: I understand it's like the lightning gossip, but maybe I am wrong. Think that would put more load on that unpaid infrastructure then possible... I'll read more about it, thanks for the hint
People call it the gossip model, but it's not like network gossip. It's gossip as in it's the model used by the Nostr client called Gossip.
Essentially anyone can use any relay that they want to use and clients fetch notes based on relays on pubkeys you're following.
You and I wouldn't need a common relay to communicate. It vastly increases decentralization.
The load would be shifted to clients, I guess, and off of relays.
The nostrich.house bots may go away this weekend. Thanks nostr:npub1c3lf9hdmghe4l7xcy8phlhepr66hz7wp5dnkpwxjvw8x7hzh0pesc9mpv4. However, I would still like to see tools built to help combat these sorts of bot spam issues in the future.
*sighs*
I get it, but I really want to nut-punch you. I won't. But I want to.
