Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't think that centralized platforms even do the spam prevention well. Mute here works well and I can only assume the report function gets the spam content/abusers removed from relays. So far it's working fine for me (& definitely not worse than any of the mainstream platforms) 🙌
IDENTITY VERIFICATION DOES NOT SOLVE SPAM WELL EVEN THOUGH IT IS OFTEN USED AS THE JUSTIFICATION. THE REALITY IS IT BENEFITS THE SURVEILLANCE AND MONETIZATION OF USERS WHICH IS WHY THEY IMPLEMENT IT.
Indeed, identities are not a desirable solution. That's why https://github.com/AdamISZ/aut-ct exists for example. Of course there are other approaches, many of them pretty well tested by now, all have tradeoffs. nostr:nevent1qqsq6j625pwm907szwyglfwq2fd825x0m026ljw60lje72ldx83z42spzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygqyey2a4mlw8qchlfe5g39vacus4qnflevppv3yre0xm56rm7lveypsgqqqqqqss6ces9
