 Great, thanks Derek. Three questions:
1) Is npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp the real RFKjr (Robert F. Kennedy Jr) or an impostor at nostr?  If not 100% sure, I'd appreciate it if you forward this question to someone that may know;  

2) Does the "User Reporting" in one platform (Damus, Primal, etc) carry over to other platforms and many relays?  Or does the "User Reporting" need to be done for each platform/relays?

3) Impersonators and bots may cause some damage especially close to the USA general elections in November 2024, right?  Any suggestions on the best way to combat them?

 1) yes that's really him. he hasn't used the account since he set it up.

2) reporting does carry over from one platform to the next, but it's all handled differently between them. some do nothing, some implement a web of trust and auto block or recommend blocking if all of your friends block that person. most don't do anything. i still report scammers and spammers just to help those clients that do.

3) report for clients that do something about it. a web of trust or WoT is how we can help combat these sorts fo things. some clients have WoT scores, but again not all do.

 Thank you for your three answers, Derek.

Regarding @`Robert F. Kennedy Jr
@RobertKennedyJr` , it appears to be an impersonator that needs to be reported and blocked, correct?

If so, let's all report him sooner rather than later to maintain credibility for Nostr. Currently, @`Robert F. Kennedy Jr
@RobertKennedyJr` has 437 followers and has received ⚡ 53,700 sats through his "lover_of_freedom @ getalby dot com" lightning address.

Note: All contributions to the RFKjr Presidential Campaign should be made through its official "www dot kennedy24 dot com" website.

cc:  @CARLA , you're following a RFKjr impersonator by mistake, I believe.

 Derek, I got a 🤙 from you. Does it mean that you also believe that second R F K jr is an impersonator?

 Yes, that's a fake account.
