How are popular free relays not getting absolutely hammered with spam?

The way Nostr is setup with effortless account creation and broadcasting sounds like the bot dream 💭

well worth the read. there's a limit to broadcasting our social lives. Is it different on Nostr just because it's a protocol and not a platform? idk

Once editorial content is gone and it's just citizen journalism, there will be no accountability for truth. Editorial has its issues, but I want to live in a world where we have both

Dang I gotta pay nostr.wine more $ to stay connected to their relays :(

Unpopular opinion, but I think ad supported relays should come to Nostr so users have an alternative way to stay connected to reliable relays

Are there any relays that only allow NIP-05 verified users?

My first zap ⚡️ from someone not myself! Haha arigatou 🙏🥰

Haha sorry how we *can support relays long term for censorship resistance and also ensure our data lives on

Thanks! it was well received I think. It was the first time they heard of Nostr but they were curious about the use cases and how relays can’t be supported long term

I presented Nostr to a web dev meetup group in Osaka 🇯🇵 yesterday

Would be cool if Twitter implemented NIP-05, DNS based verification is neat :)

I hope Twitter does not die, I think it's important to have a centralized platform to broadcast messages. And if this centralized platform is well run, what's bad about that? Distributed platforms like Nostr and Mastodon can co-exist with centralized platforms to create accessible and censorship resistant communities

Wow, if I can follow the people I want from Twitter through bots like #[0] then my Nostr feed is about to get a whole lot more interesting... And a bit less BTC'ey (no offense)
