That's the follow-unfollow crew!

👀

🤣

Oh man.. those bots post content that a lot of well respected people subscribe to, too 🤣 They could be two very separate things because I'm pretty sure those accounts also follow new profiles at random.

Yep

The most annoying crew on nostr. Useless bots

We need "exclude from my WoT" note.

Burn them to the stake!

Every. Single. Day. 🫠

Why do thy have this website in there bio? https://botrift.ai/

Actually, I want to tag nostr:nprofile1qqsw2feday2t6vqh2hzrnwywd9v6g0yayejgx8cf83g7n3ue594pqtcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqvvd7p2 just because this is probably the closest I've noticed to an actual scenerio for variable trust happening in real time. Given, this one seems easily solvable just from what I've seen in previous discussions, but if something needs testing maybe this could be handy in that sense?

the Unmasked one constantly pops up in my new follows update, for months

Yup. All the known suspects. I guess we need unfollow/mute packs now.

i for one am shocked that ai bots are being used for unscrupulous means. was there no warning? nostr:nevent1qqs92ad5ze8hch32dkjufumrzdlvwd47zheayemgfsp753c7c7nafmspzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qgsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36crqsqqqqqprrq0xr

This one was my favorite.

Use randomuser(dot)me in blocked words.

I noticed them months ago and muted them, and I had no problem with spam after that.

muted them long time ago

Spam? These are vaild transactions 😁

Total bot f* fest out there. Thank God for WoT and paid relays. Comment-spamming bots, follow bots, scraper bots creating a gazillion and one subscriptions… etc, etc, etc. I honestly thought Alex Gleason was spineless for calling the cops on a "security researcher" during the Reply Guy incident. I still think the whole mandatory NIP-05 and domain-level blacklisting stuff is a bad idea. But… one year later, I kinda get it 🤣. The Nostr ratio of script kiddies per dev + sysadmin makes running nostr infrastructure a tiresome experience. It's a constant battle between trying to be fair to new users and blocking the rubbish.

I'm still figuring out nostr. How do I mute? I'm using primal mostly.

Same

If these profiles are muted and/or reported as spam by trusted sources, their GrapeRank scores will drop quickly. Just now putting my dev hat back on after a month-long programming hiatus. Currently personalized Brainstorm relays calculate GrapeRank (and PageRank) correctly at initial setup; next I have to work on it updating scores in real time.
