What happened was:
1. On about May 23, mleku had a meltdown over this publicly, which included “quitting” Nostr
2. Reply spam started around the start of this month. This is an unrelated attacker from my analysis.
3. About a week ago, the gay porn spam bots started. These replied to everything indiscriminately.
4. They started manually operated accounts that pretended to be me and Vitor. These only replied to certain targeted events and streams.
5. A few days ago, I released nostr:npub1rxj35cjsend6rtrg387fvr047gml6qr0na5w4svrm8arexkwl0vq8n3fj7
6. The manually operated accounts started more aggressively spamming against Nostr.land posts and GitCitadel members exclusively, in an attempt to stop the planned NFDB Enterprise contract
Many factors link the manually operated gay spam accounts to mleku.
There are at least 4 different actors here, first being the manually operated accounts.
The reply scramble bots are most likely operated by someone else.
The gay porn spam could have been the same as the manual accounts, but also different (with it being used as a “cover” for the defamation)
And the bots like nostr:npub10u8xfdfw7447c26c34rql333yh6k0kevq9x3an8gqmvdtdpqnchqpmz5qy are an AI service called botrift.com, these follow ANY new account and unfollow to get follows back. Spammers abused this to get their accounts into WoT
My part @tzongocu is just advertising and only within the limits of the predefined rules in the free market.
Audience is not built by preaching in the desert.
