We moved to make it private because showing you disliked someone usually escalates. If they are skilled, they start making bots and hit you with 1000s of DMs, replies, quotes from random accounts to annoy you.
Keeping it private solves the problem without creating more problems.
Was that decision made because of a real case?
Lots of real cases. Some stuff still happens today, but it is much less these days.
Wow, I thought that nostr was not susceptible to these types of attacks... At least they happen less often now.
@mleku makes good bots to DDOS relays
