My new CO2 sensor arrived today, SwitchBot Meter Pro. Been considering buying this one in the past weeks but was convinced when @HoloKat mentioned they got this model. There's a lot of monitors in this price range and below, but generally the build feels nice, app works well, sensors seem accurate and responsive. First readings I got 666ppm ... should I be worried? 😈 I did not purchase the hub or outdoor sensor, so it works via BLE to my smartphone. Overall it seems pretty nice. I'd like an aranet4 at some point as it does VOCs but the step up in price is significant. View quoted note →

Shout-out to @verbiricha for #grimoire, which I used to quickly analyze and dig into nostrmag's dodgy behaviour. (Oh, and also for the emojis which I love so much of course!) :MEOWDY: With grimoire I could easily find evidence that these accounts are suspicious: 1. Replying to nostrmag's note complimenting their article as a reader. 2. Suddenly a day later, they're mysteriously now working for nostrmag. Grimoire rocks!

I will be openly honest with you, I (and other users) keep seeing so many red flags with @NostrMagazine that it's hard to ignore: Look, don't get me wrong, I am one of the most bullish people here on #nostr and the ecosystem. I appreciate your responses; respectful disagreement is always appreciated. When @Nostr Compass released a few weeks ago I have been hyped to see them. The difference is in the approach and what appears to be highly questionable activities by you. - I feel that you literally just created a handful of personas. I took 1 minute to check into your "marketing accounts" and found fake profiles, and suspect analytics scores. Note I didn't call your accounts "bots", humans can run fake accounts too--it's kind of irrelevant to me either way. - For example @sarah has never posted any real comments, simply reposting generic content in the past. This type of account is generally created for intention of being resold/repurposed to make accounts seem older than they are. - These accounts have NO TRUST SCORES on profilestr.com and other user trust APIs. This is highly telling. Real accounts that purport to be years old would never have zero scores/unable to be found. - The profile pictures are just stock photography, bios highly fake. Real profiles don't really look like your marketing team, let alone seasoned nostriches. - The exact same thing with all the other account npubs I've listed above, which you claim are all individuals from your "marketing" team. Agis, Madrid, etc.. - Linguistic analysis points to all of these articles written by the same source, be it an AI or single author, I won't get into that, but human authors have differing voices, language usage and flair. - All these accounts look basically the same. Real individuals are vastly different and unique, they don't look like this. You even left the "Grok" watermark on some profile pictures: These are just a few of the issues I am seeing. Make of that what you will. :grimace: FYI to some of the others who have voiced concerns @Troy @nout @mar @Ryan View quoted note →

Update: they just hit my relay with a bunch of fake accounts spamming about their "articles", so I've gone ahead and blacklisted all of them including their main account from publishing on my public relay. For reference if anyone else wants to do the same, these are known fake accounts shilling #nostrmag @NostrMagazine: ``` 'bc58b531ebe1d4b6089ed346fbdb84d00fbcb619c26db6f303f7ffa4b4e4b5b7' // NostrMagazine main account - nostrmag spam '34d2619e68720360854828326d149415e96394b76a93d7c107556d57e5d0d9a8' 'aee9d7ac9343f48e00337a7b97d7ff4d3d7877dacbb3fcccc0dce2a81b2e0502' 'fe5915e97c59b0672a80351bd2e4a89d1414c56a25e74eab9b2ebc9014a8403b' '794833e538ff2acb9149a736cf02d30c6ae0022c76d2dd55b57e540dc2f9c731' 'd9c2ec9765485f7f39a1b59c4ef7578879d2d17908364e1031129cc7b72f692d' '9f59d9117ce44768cc2cf259735455dbeaf1a38ee7c90aec1c5de4e1294f166b' 'a8eeb2053dade88662496c468b92d425e3060af4dc32fc37a25abc99e35c7269' 'e4dd796a3c78d952c509fb9791449c15c837da408650d4a2fbcac0c42f63d1d1' ``` I'll be updating this as they create more fake accounts. :MEOWDY: #relays View quoted note →

I'm getting very tired of all of this @NostrMagazine spam. I may blacklist them and all related accounts from using the superfriends #relay because it's just absolutely excessive. :TheVoices: What the fuck are you guys doing? Do you really think this is helping your image? No legitimate publication should be resorting to these tactics. #nostr #relays
