 1 bot is bringing down the protocol … 
 How can this not be fixed yet… 
 🤷‍♂️ 
 It's on you.

It's on everyone else. 

There's no central authority to appeal to. 

That's the point. 

The only thing this exposes is how badly people "understand" the nostr protocol.  
 Client Devs don’t want to give users the ability to filter on NIP05s. It could be solved with that but apparently blocking whole domains would be worse than all of us getting spammed non-stop. 
 The spammers would just include nip-05 as part of spam. It's a whackamole  
 Let them try.

Then it’s on NIP05 providers to keep their service clean - not too much to ask for paid service providers.

Then they have to fallback to their own domains for NIP05 which is cost and friction they can’t keep up for long before we block them all. 
 No hay que exagerar 
 Nahh thats your colleague doing it 🤣 figure it out devs do something  
 Were fooked

 One bot is helping to make the protocol stronger.
