Every few months one of these self proclaimed hacktivists comes to point out nostr shortcomings in some malicious and uncreative way.
So far none of them that I’ve come across has actually pointed out anything useful. This doesn’t seem any different. It’s just a way for them to flex their ego and get some recognition.
Clients should at the very least have a toggle to turn off loading images from people they don’t follow (or their WoT) and many already do. Outside of that, there is nothing broken and nothing to fix.
Not sure why we give these people so much attention…

Nostr is the first thing to teach people how the internet works since MySpace.
I'm not going to pretend that what I did wasn't trivial. It was.
But if this trick is so uncreative and unoriginal, why hasn't this attack vector been resolved yet?
If nobody has a reason to fix this, I'll give them a reason.
