 Just got a dm from him, it appears it’s just the username, Carla owns the real one… but it still threw me off, as well as that banner 🀣

clients should label these as β€œspam” or β€œscam”

 I don't think there's any effective way of determining it's spam. Maybe WoT?

 if it’s using a NIP-05 that belongs to another pleb that’s the owner, should be easy. 

One nsec/npub owns it 

any other that adds it to their profile as a username or whatever would be labeled spam

 Oh yeah, trying to use a nip05 someone else has registered won't validate, at least it shouldn't (the client should verify it against the users' pubkey used in the app). Adding a spam label would add another level of awareness πŸ‘

 But this won't stop them from registering a similar nip05, which is what I was referring to when I mentioned address as a service websites.
