Oh, so your plan is to hide your identity? If so, congrats! You have been censored. Your fundamental human right to freedom of speech, which includes the right to publicly associate your identity with your name, has been curtailed. Your words have been reduced to those of an anon, whether you like it or not. That said, Nostr can already be used behind Tor. Some relays are hidden services. Now imagine a government deciding to invest a few tens of millions (or hundreds, if they decide it's critical) just to flood Nostr with spambots.

It is, but it's also an extremely common relay.

Yes, but I think it's worse on Nostr and Nostr is also more fragile in some ways. It would help if Nostr had a responsible community, willing to use it in a manner that doesn't harm the ecosystem.

Saw this post randomly while browsing wss://nos.lol/, within very little time. Either Nostr is very small or you post a lot XD

Is this bait?

I wish there was more reddit natured faggotry on here, instead of being a sewage system for spambots.

It's also a good reason.

If people like them, they could subscribe to those bots and authorize being spammed by them, they don't need to turn the whole thing in a bot sewer.

I don't want to be mindblogged, I want to have computer programs that serve me. Social media serve me if it allows me to communicate with other humans.

Nostr is largely populated by morons, seeking not to do anything actually good. It's the platform of noise, it's always been. "Bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin, zap zap zap zap". Now that calmed down a little and pests wrote bots to infest Nostr. For whatever reason, Nostr attracts this kind of mind shape. Whether it's about having one's identity revolving around a currency, getting involved in the most downright moronic conspiracy theories, or vibeshitting to the extreme, it's always about getting super hyped about whatever some cultish community is making people have strong feelings about.

What client are you using? It wrote the following: > wss://nos.lol/%20wss://nostr.land/%20%20avatar%20wss://nostr.wine/%20%20avatar%20wss://purplerelay.com/%20wss://relay.damus.io/%20wss://relay.snort.social/ As a relay hint (it's clearly nonsensical).

Nostr is actually still very useful if you post images or videos. Yes, media will be hosted in some other way, but you retain your audience. You can tell them when you get censored and post new stuff through new services, still linking to it with the same Nostr account. So Nostr isn't useless if you make images or videos, or audio, but none should be claiming they are posting videos through Nostr.

> getting a zap is kind of exciting for people Why? It has the same meaning of a like, plus some measure of how rich or generous the person sending it is.

One of the first things users need to learn, regardless of what client they use, is they are not posting images or videos on Nostr, they are posting URLs to them. They can post URLs because URLs are just text. Some "Nostr" clients also happen to offer cloud storage as an additional service. They may as well send you a pizza, that doesn't make pizzas part of Nostr.

Nostr already has such an option, but it's the bot that has to willingly mark itself as such.

Segregated relays also don't protect from spam (not more than general-purpose ones). The issue you mention seems about the global feed. I think it's almost bound to be shit, but it can be addressed via hashtags.

Zap haven't ensured Nostr will fail, they are just its most overrated, useless and annoying feature. Nostr may still succeed in spite of zaps.

All replies by bots are spam, in my opinion, unless the bot has been specifically requested to participate. Clankers don't have a right to speak.

It's good that we know. You could have been dead, or WORSE, expelled from Nostr.

Per essere chiari: considero molte politiche dell'Unione Europea, e anche dell'Italia, assolutamente immorali e illiberali. Alcune di queste sono incompatibili con il software libero. Queste includono il chat control (nella sua versione originale) e il CRA (che è una merda). Come sai il chat control, che non è ancora approvato, è stato *molto* diluito rispetto alla versione originale. Rimango totalmente contrario. Politicamente mi schiero in modo chiaro contro politiche del genere. Dire che odino il software libero in generale, però, è eccessivo. Viene usato e sviluppato, ma i governi non si avvicinano minimamente a fare abbastanza.
