Amazing that I was a suspect. ๐
Yes, I definitely agree on your points. It could be a state actor (I err towards this being likely) but a dev forcing people to improve the platform is also a possibility. Or perhaps trying to get people onto their paid relays. One of the bots I saw had a message to remove nostr.land as a relay for the attacks to stop.
I imagine that if analytics show a drop in users following a bot attack, then that would be considered an effective strategy and expanded.
My first question is who stands to gain most from destroying a growing protocol in its early stages, when it is so very promising? That's what makes me most suspicious.
Couple it with the previous doxxing of fiatjaf as well as the media hitpiece labeling nostr as 'extremist' or 'far-right'. Anytime I see that, it's obvious there is a campaign to discredit.

I'm gonna spout some pure conjecture here, but I suspect there are broadly two camps in the intelligence world : the commies, aka the black lodge ; and the rebel alliance, aka the white lodge. It just doesn't look like a unified force. There's some push back occurring and its not originating from plebs. Just my pattern recognition again... Could be wrong.
