 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.  #[0] 's  nostrplebs.com , #[1] '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.
