The only obstacle to Nostr's future development is spam. Not the review and removal of iOS and Google stores.

The first spam war occurred in the spam attack on Nostr's global posts. It caused the earliest users to leave Nostr. Finally, nostr.band and nostr.wine's Relay provided clean Nostr global posts.

The second spam war was spam replies to all posts. It interrupted Nostr's communication atmosphere. It interrupted Nostr's growth in 2024. Many users left temporarily.

Perhaps paid certified NIP05 filtering would be a good solution. We already have many excellent NIP05 verification operators. Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) 's nostrplebs.com , quentin (npub138s…x624) 's nostrcheck.me , etc. Give the filtering rights to users, and use the client to choose which certifiers' user content to display. Build the first spam firewall.

The earlier #Nostr discovers this problem, the less impact it will have on users. Fortunately, Nostr has very few users now.
This is what happens when client devs ignore Users who want *some* tools, because they don’t think those tools are perfect enough.

Half my activity on Xitter is telling people to get on #Nostr - guess what I’ve stopped doing on Xitter now that I can’t recommend a good client to shield n00bs from basic spam?

My own noting has dropped off and I can’t in good conscience tell anyone to join here when it’s a shitshow because we have no NIP05 filtering to stop ReplyGuy. note1rd0…hk4g
