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… 

 Or if replyguy got inspired by him 👀 

 oh no, they will know my VPN or Tor Exit node! 

 😂😂
His goal was for everyone to use a VPN but yes. It’s silly. 

 Oh yeah the DM IP leaker.
We've had such cool silly villains here.

Would be hilarious if it's all the same person.

I think we need to assemble some sort of investigative Scooby-Doo team. 

 Would be hilarious 😂

 Really? I don't see any sign of it today. And I usually see it briefly (until the pfp URL blocker kicks in) 🤔 

 Alex must have done something to stop it 

 I don't see it on Amethyst either tho. But Alex did stop it before. 

 a few days ago I seen new Reply Girl but blocked the 2-ish accounts 

 For me it's been as if today that I've noticed no reply guy. 🤔 

 I connected to the Damus relay as well. Seems free of the bot 

 What's the policy you're using to reject? 

 Hi there:)
