Narrator: it was too disruptive to ordinary users 😂
This guy is a bitch. Knew exactly what he was doing but too inept and socially retarded to stop himself.
people who say they are just trying to help by disprupting the network are insanely annoying. it's like shitting on your lawn and saying you should have better defenses against it. yeah we know, we also have a million other things we also have to do to retain users. thanks for overloading already stressed dev resources.
💯
Also if he's a coder he could actually help. Instead he spent his own dev time harassing other devs. EmojiGuy does not get a pass from me.
Fucking notedeck, lol. Yeah I would have loved to see noteguard or patches for your scripts that helped fix his own spam
It probably fiatjaf tbh.
I think @fiatjaf would have the intrusive thought to do it, but wouldn't actually do it 😂
This isn't my fight, but I often find that good advice goes unheeded until it too late. And, how do you know this anon didn't also contribute to fixing the problem?
They have only taken credit for the spam
lol i hope he gets a gf soon
Praying for EmojiGuy 🙏
Praying an imprecatory prayer? 😄
wait he shared the code....now anyone can continue his work
I saw that. I appreciate that he shared it at least. But he's either a 15 year old snot nosed kid or a federal agent. My mind always says agent, but in reality it always turns out to be some fatherless child.
Only solution is to nuke Colorado from orbit. 🤣
I like Colorado though. We should first move him to New Jersey.
You're right. maybe a bit more south. say... somewhere in between Baltimore and Richmond.
I get doing it to make a point, but to do it for days on end just going to pull people away from the network.
Nostr lost 50% of it's daily active users since both attacks started
That's wild. I understand though. Not every client is robust enough to deflect the attacks.
Is it true?
I'm not sure, but for me as a curious and new user it was a really frustrating experience. In our small #nostr group in Western Austria, we discussed a few weeks ago, how to get more users here. Many normal people have a very low tolerance threshold for such "teething troubles". And they have no idea how to counter this as individuals. I first had to learn this myself.
I believe ditto.pub has solved the Reply Guy problem if that's useful to you. I would recommend using that as main client, especially for new people There are two main spam attacks tho. This guy is not the reply guy one, which hasn't stopped. This is guy was only targeting dev's posts with replicated replies with emojis thrown in. Just to be clear lol. Still annoying, just cos it only replied to devs doesn't make it less annoying. Most people follow the devs here lol.
How exactly does ditto solve the problem?
I believe they require a nip05 to see posts, spammer then started using a nip05, ditto blocks that nip05 URL I have a feeling ditto posts also have a small PoW? Not sure about that one tho
So, if I am reading nip05 right, would that mean that phone apps that use public relays would be accepted? The idea that someone would have to register a domain name just to interact with people seems like a nonstarter
I have no idea..I'm not the best person to respond lol. But you can get a nip05 free from a few places like zaps.lol I can't remember any other ones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh this is another free NIP05 you can get nostr:nevent1qqs2w7nzsvxf62ur75s3ux50s809l5gvgfk7f3tcchshvxpqrnsetkczyzw2p0t52p6z663qxxwqu02vv7wfupr2nhrsarh4ts5stcjq2g6qkqcyqqqqqps00h5ap
Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
I only saw the reply guy for a few days, I haven’t been having problems with spam on primal.
Lucky
Are u using primal?
Lock him up
Each time, spam attacks on Nostr become more and more large-scale. Hundreds of fake accounts of Nostr developers reply to a post at the same time. Nostr's scattered developers are all individuals and cannot resist the attacks of a group with ulterior motives. Only the agreement is binding, but there is no better idea to solve the spam problem. It seems that anti-censorship and spam are natural symbiosis.
Cali can sluf off into the ocean. Damn commies.
