Taking another botted reply from nostr:npub14f8d8c8zeq899dmwy5mtaauepglezczymw6dj9jmkw7489d4vffsvfyn5r as another opportunity to post about something important in the global reply feed:
Many nostr devs are grifters who willingly keep nostr small with stuff like bad spam filtering, because they somehow think rewards from the authorities will be more profitable than a future where people use nostr

These identical spam replies coming through with no rate limiting do not reflect well on #nostr while new users struggle to ensure their posts are visible

The inclusion of a Monero address might be a way to get paid, without a trail of messages directly mentioning it, as part of the coordinated group harassment campaign against me

Again, the inclusion of a wallet address in the spam reply might be a way to get paid without a trail of messages directly mentioning it, as part of the years-long coordinated harassment campaign against me

Why would any relay not rate limit this long string of identical replies begging for money and trying to stay at the end of a thread?

I feel like this might be allowed to keep going indefinitely, and on top of that, somehow my npub might be the one with impacted reach nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqamkcvk5k8g730e2j6atadp6mxk7z4aaxc7cnwrlkclx79z4tzygqqsgnj88t5gu5rqkxrf38r98tkgauf255aeekkwnv7glg99p2zrazsg62ekx8

And like clockwork, it won't be too many days before corndalorian posts another meme complaining about 1-sat zaps
But people "wonder" why nostr hasn't taken off more

Another sad thing about this: so much more energy goes into sabotaging nostr than developing/maintaining it, any rate limit that gets implemented could potentially be aggressive and hostile to users instead of a reasonable middle ground that ramps up against actual spammers

Imagine if nostr was actually censorship resistant enough that I had interesting human posts to reply to, or an ever-present opportunity to spark a discussion with a new thread of my own, instead of having me in a position where I have to keep replying to a spammer the network will seemingly filter less than me
