And many other initiatives. @Alex Gleason 🐍🚬 is working on making nip05 mandatory, i worked on several solutions to my relays, clients have added blocking features so users can do that themselves, i made a bot to "hit back" and flood reply guy (haven't seen him since, might be a coincidence, though)

Also, several devs where misguided by the emoji guy, since his attacks were personal and directed at a few devs, that made them solve a problem that was not affecting the whole community and ignore the bigger problem (reply guy and emoji guy used different techniques to spam, so blocking one does not necessarily blocks the other).

Anyway, lots of people were working on solutions, so please, don't say only this or that dev was doing something. The whole community is working on the issue. 

 NIP05 should be “mandatory”.

Spinning up npubs is free. Attaching them to domains isn’t.

If we want to rid ourselves from domains we have a different problem but we can work on that AFTER we solve the current one. 

 I strongly disagree with this, you shouldn't have to trust a domain or sign up for something outside of nostr to use nostr

But of course I am happy to see many people try many things 

 Sure.

Then your npub is a burner. You can post into the wind on https://anonostr.com

I’m not opposed to people posting with Burners at all. That’s a legit usecase and I hope to see users of it by following hashtags.

I’m opposed to my feed being spammed by accounts which I should easily be able to filter because the client devs don’t want to give me any further tools to handle my feed.

If anon accounts want to spam a hashtag I can unfollow if. OR I can have thresholds like I’m suggesting.

This is Nostr bumping up against ancap limits. Ancap doesn’t work in a world of zero friction - it just doesn’t. 

 not sure where the "ancap" thing comes from. I'm usually considered center-left, and still agree with that making you dependent on an external provider is a bad idea.

Nothing to do with "bumping up against ancap limits", just with having nostr be independent of any kind of central authority. NIP-05 is just NOT the solution for a censor free ecosystem. 

 Nostr Will be infused with Ancap ideals
Based on the founders. 

You might not like if but how it is. 

 I like it just fine exactly because i don't confuse the creation and the creator... the creation is awesome, even if the creators are flawed humans... 

 Social graph filtering works great and doesn't require domain names or other trusted parties, but nip05 (maybe limited to trusted providers) can be one way to complement it for newbies who are not yet in the graph. 

 But it’s step in the right direction I think. I’m still not sure how they work technically but I know I look for accounts with NIP05 casue I know at least they bothered doing it.
