If spammers use vpns to try to get around ip blocks the vpn will be banned, i don’t know what to say. I don’t understand why people are surprised or upset about this.

banned by relays one by one in time and still not banned in some, or banned by many relays at the same time. thats the difference i am talking about. when you start sending notes to ban IPs and relays start to listen to those, with so much political powers like you it is a slippery slope 😅
could I ask how is this solution different from centralised platform? we go for a one solution of banning people due to the act of small group? this go against the very principle we are fighting for here on nostr. Is it just me that recommending people to spin up their own relay as if every average folk is as techy as those who run/own relay is hindering people to use nostr? As clever as you are I am certain you understand the sentiments of other people here. I am sure you will find a better way. I don't agree that banning VPN users because spammers could use the same IP is not logical to me. It is like saying that hackers are thieves, techy and bad. Does this mean all techy people are hackers and bad? ☺️
