He posted a note saying "Look I can trend on Primal at will", then created a bot that reposted, liked, and zapped that note 200k times with different keypairs. Seems kinda spammy, don't you think?

All we did was put him on the "can't trend" list, which is publicly available in our repo. 🤷‍♂️

Nostr is still very much a sandbox.

Less talkie more codie.

Please. 😂

Y'all be losing your shit over Primal this morning, but I'm with nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr on this one.

And the shadowbans of nostr:npub1ezw0xm0w52rd4yfdg9zlw9qvwdy46alzelklkefptrd203m37tuq4djmeg and others? Banning a spammer is fine but thats not the concern here.

The problem seems to be the bug that he can trend on Primal at will. Don’t think the problem is the person who found the bug.

We should keep in mind that we’re building decentralized software here.

How can he do that ?

I for one would vote for @miljan and his buds to focus instead on making the Reply button work.

In nested replies.

Yes, but if he can do it anyone can do it, right? Isn't this more just pointing out a flaw than spamming?

I agree with you that every client can handle this stuff however they want, but manually adding non-bots to a list also seems kinda scammy, no?

that's exactly what it was indeed

Spamming nostr hurts everyone in nostr. Spam nostr's competitors if you want spam.

nostr is freedom.

1. freedom for user to post.

2. but also freedom for relays to decide whats the best for other user, without compromising on rule no. 1.

you did right.

Before you take what nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj is saying about Primal at face value, consider the possibility that he is not acting in good faith.

All this talk about “censorship” and “shadowbanning” is nonsense. At Primal we do everything in the open. Our entire stack is FOSS. Our system is not perfect, but we continue to improve it every day.

Will he remain on that "can't trend list" forever as a punishment? What are the exact guidelines? If I zap you 20 times on your post, will you also get a shadowban?

Let relays handle that. Or people.

A client is just a window into Nostr.

What about LightX he is active in the community and Zaps users and Devs all the time!?

Couldn’t people just do that to people they don’t like? And have you think they were spammy #freeralf

If you are making a client are you "free" to do it however you want?
