Seems like there might be an impostor under my name scamming people in dms (potentially, not verified).

I have never sold anything to anyone and don’t plan on it.

I’ve never asked for payments of any kind without a contractual relationship where I performed some task already of which there were very few.

I’ve never and don’t ever plan on dming people selling anything, asking for any payments or offering any paid work.

Please be careful out there!

How do you think this should be managed going forward?

Up to the relay managers to decide or that’s just part of the experience, as it’s always been on the internet?

Verify, double verify, do your due diligence, ask around, don’t send any money to anyone unless you’re doing it for fun zapping.

This, 100%. But.

I am on Plebeian Market and am compelled to add a footnote to your note.

We have difficulties similar to yours but from an additional perspective and it seems like yours, mine and many of the above issues could be solved, potentially simultaneously.

PM is still in development and Stalls have a barebones backend. To process a sail, delivery etc details are required. This must involve going off platform (PM). I receive no notifications directly. This coupled with many are not daily users, messaging security, various bugs etc can create a delayed and extended process for both leading to an often adrenalised exchange.

We have successfully navigated this but we are always in the same but exact opposite situation as you.

We are trying to create a workflow to mitigate and any suggestions your audience might have would be nostrmazing. Thanks. Great note topic 💪⚡

SimpleX is better for DMs. I'd rather Nostr concentrated on public notes.

I was more thinking about the spam 💜

Mute lists

that plus muting words 💜

I just want to mute 'airdrop' and life will be so much better

have a great idea about this, let’s see 💜👀

Exactly. We can eliminate most of the spam with a simple pre-configured mute list that you can modify as you please

Something like Sieve filters for emails would be great!

You don't want a shitcoin airdrop? ^^

Even if a single one of them was legit, the hoops you have to jump through to earn them aren't worth it.

Mute words works better if you are not interested in a topic.

For spam if you mute ‘airdrop’ then the next day it will be 'air drop’ and then ‘giveaway’, and then ‘token’ until we end up with the same spam as twitter:

'Whyy is everyonee silent about thisss??’

And that to the list 😂

Sure it's a bandaid, but it's a very useful and necessary bandaid.

There's something to be said about that.

Person dmed me asking for some product I supposedly sold to them. I make no products and never have on nostr.

Maybe it’s a mix up, but I’m just preemptively sharing this now in case there is a scammer.

Is really bad today with me they annoy with their shitcoins under every post... what is going on :/

I mute them as soon as I see them so hasn’t been that big of an issue but I think we can easily fix that with mute lists

I am aware of this as a pleb and I also mute and report them of course!!! we know the games of these open-plan office people.
