I am concerned the reply guy replies will greatly reduce the usability of nostr… It is getting bad.. relay.primal.net
🖕
1 bot is bringing down the protocol …
That’s Derek’s intent. To cause a hormetic response. He aims to strengthen Nostr by triggering an improvement in its resilience to spam.
How can this not be fixed yet…
🤷♂️
the reply-guy-thing is a wonderful chance to level up the #nostr once again 💜

I can't see him anymore. It seems like its mainly on large public relays, specifically primal and offchain.
I might try removing some..
I thought the reply guy said it would only last for all of September?
I would remove those two specifically and add some of the relays from the list @utxo the webmaster 🧑💻 made.
It speaks?
derek did this?
He ruined my hashtag game. All art I post with hashtags have got tons of his shit in comments. Annoying as fuck. Fix this please. #notitle #nolab
Lol no I saw a post from someone claiming they were doing the replay guy stuff…
I’ll see if I can find it…
This is nothing compared to what it could be. We should be grateful for the learning opportunity before a real attack happens.
No hay que exagerar
Nahh thats your colleague doing it 🤣 figure it out devs do something
Were fooked
It's on you.
It's on everyone else.
There's no central authority to appeal to.
That's the point.
The only thing this exposes is how badly people "understand" the nostr protocol.
Client Devs don’t want to give users the ability to filter on NIP05s. It could be solved with that but apparently blocking whole domains would be worse than all of us getting spammed non-stop.
No, it's OK. I'm a complete noob and even I found a way to deal with it.
The spammers would just include nip-05 as part of spam. It's a whackamole
Let them try.
Then it’s on NIP05 providers to keep their service clean - not too much to ask for paid service providers.
Then they have to fallback to their own domains for NIP05 which is cost and friction they can’t keep up for long before we block them all.
No, it will increase #NOSTR antifragility
The ordinals did a great job of getting people on lightning and making us all think about scaling options ahead of when we would need it
I don't even know what anyone's talking about. I want to be part of the club. or maybe I don't
Same. A few reply guy posts show up for me, but my default relays seem to be filtering most of them (my nostr feeds are certainly not nearing "unusable")
The Morris worm nearly brought down the Internet in 1988:
Morris worm - Wikipedia
I see reply guys on most all notes and get them on all notes I post, usable but very bad experience.. I’m going to experiment with my relays
That’s the only good I see from this, yes, we will learn to harden
It is kinda hard to find notes from accounts ya don’t follow tho lol
Damus relay is infected dude. Delete.
One bot is helping to make the protocol stronger.
Is this bc when relays find his notes they block him but don’t delete them? And as a result search is becoming useless?
I just deleted it, let’s see
You might need to get rid of nos.lol and Eden as well
I think so?
Agreed. Good news is this a good anti-fragility test. Spammers are inevitable if/when nostr grows with more users and content.
Good luck! I haven’t been seeing reply guy using my relay set, but I used mostly paid relays and topical relays with access controls, your large amount of free relay usage is probably what’s getting you annoyed. Some free relays are having better luck with maintaining quality, like bevos relay in my list for example
I transitioned to using only relays from utxo's list (for my general relays)
So far, perfect
