What do the ReplyGuy spam accounts all have in common? They don’t have NIP05.

Who else doesn’t have NIP05 - brand new Users with Zero WoT built up who don’t know NIP05 is a relevant thing here. Ie the bottom of the foodchain on #Nostr.

Everyone with presence on #Nostr has NIP05 whether through some paid service or their own domain. Users setup NIP05 before they setup their zap wallets in most cases.

NIP05 imposes friction and cost. It’s the equivalent of proof-of-work here where you can pay for it or DIY.

Requiring NIP05 puts the onus on paid providers to avoid spam or back on the spammer to have sufficient domains to continue their spamming - it limits a bad actors ability to spam the shit out of the network if Users can avoid seeing non-NIP05 verified accounts or filter out known-bad providers.

I want to filter on the vast vast majority of Nostr users who DO have NIP05 on their npub - per Will, head of the biggest Nostr client, that’s retarded.

I’ll tell you what is retarded - being head of the biggest Nostr client and doing three fifths of fuckall to help users deal with spam for 3 weeks because you personally have a setup where you don’t see the problem because you control the biggest public relay as well.

Where there’s no perfect solution so instead of providing solutions with tradeoffs, you get defensive to protect how you’ve done nothing to help users who are paying you to be an open source Dev and double-down on your doing nothing.

Where you don’t use your official App account to tell paying users about the limited mitigations you do have to offer.

Where you expect everyone to follow your main account on the opposite side of the world to Users where they’ll hopefully see your posts in their feed despite only having a chronological feed and no delayed reposting.

That’s retarded Will.
nip05 filtering is retarded and your idea is bad, sorry
