 Different guys.  Both outed themselves on the same day and turned off their bots. 
 Who was the reply guy? 
 He is still anonymous, as he used burner npubs to discuss the bots. 
 Are the notes still around or he erased them ? 
 I *think* they're still around but I don't remember where. 
 I’ll try and find them. Thanks! 
 Oooh riiight.

So I saw theduck's note, who I believe was the emojireply guy.
Didn't see the reply guy's one. Did they say it was the same purpose? 

These notes need to be kept on the nostr lore page of wikifreedia or something.

Who is the nostr archivist ffs? 
 Maybe my grandkids will ask me about ReplyGuy. 
 Why do you have a reply guy tattoo? They'll ask 
 ReplyGuy used throwaway npubs, I think.  Like burner phones. 
 I think I saw someone saying that they were reply guy. But I assumed it was someone on getwired making a joke.

Did they elaborate on their reason?

 
 Dangit I can't find the original notes.

A bunch of people joked they were reply guy.

Anyway the reason was the same as emoji guy: it was a black hat attack test to force devs to up their game. 
 This was the one I saw. But, yeah one of them must have been real cos it really did stop

 Yeah that's the one I was thinking of. 
 Hmm I wonder if that is real lol? Hard to tell, it's like something I would use getwired for so I assumed it was a throwaway joke. 

But sounds like he will come back for another dastardly plan lol  
 oh damn I missed the reply guy outing himself 
 oh man. i wanna know…
