I'm back to a bot-free Nostr experience. 🎊🎉🎆 theforest.nostr1.com is awesome.
By the way, just for the sake of pettiness… The last generation of bots all have NIP-05 identities across several domains. Good luck protecting relays from bots by blanket blacklisting domains in 2025. The next step will likely be closed networks of relays, where you can only write with a NIP-05 identity locked behind registration forms. Despite the NIP-05 spec itself stating that it isn’t intended to verify users. I would say "I told you so," but the folks who need to read this won’t anyway.
So, do yourself a favor: host your own personal WoT relay, or get yourself under one. Additionally, use a well-moderated paid relay with a symbolic one time fee. It works better than NIP-05 ever will as a deterrent against bots, while still allowing new nostriches to reach out to you.
