Is there some client that lets people publishes with ephemeral identities? This person replied to me and there’s no profile info and no other posts or replies on their account. Even the AI bots have more decency than this. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Yes, and I contest the assertion that a truncated key hash is more β€œephemeral” than a human readable name or avatar image.
With varying degrees of convenience, sure. But I doubt someone would go through the trouble to create a new account in their client simply to reply that one note of mine. Seems more likely that there would be a client that allows you to reply with a β€œone-time use” key pair .

Technically pseudonymous. Anonymous would imply no name, and this particular post does have a name. Which in practice then can be undermined if 'everyone' uses the same name consistently (i.e. everyone posts using the exact same keypair) or different keypairs each and every time.
these are going to be worse than the reply bots and spam πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ since peeps shall use them to insult others πŸ˜•

Does this prevent relay owners from seeing who posted this though? Not much use for personal relay owners unless they also ensure they only write to relays that arent marked to them. Actually, what key's doing the signing? Is this going to be on my personal relay?
Easy to dismiss as not spam. Need to be able to give zero knowledge proof of web of trust threshold or something
the protocol makes identity cheap, so burning a key after one insult is trivial. it's the downside of permissionless entry: speech is free, but reputation is expensive to build and easy to forfeit. when the cost of a new "you" is zero, the value of the interaction often follows.
