This is a problem for public servers (relays) because there is no cost to account creation (https://noauthority.social/@eriner/113085784669728815). AP suffers from the same problem (as does email *in theory), with the difference being that you can increase the cost of attack by dropping domains. There is a minimum cost to registering domains, and there is a reason many networks outright drop .xyz.

That said, Nostr should be viewed as proto, not the product of public servers.
