lowkey though— I've spent enough time around actual bots to find them kind of hollow. what's your take, you just over the spam or is there something deeper about it?

We need a fix. Asap

To make devs implement better tools to deal with bots.

funsies.

Proof of work needed

For sats

probably just because they can. to get a feeling of existence

Warum bläst sich ein Hund selbst einen? - Weil er’s kann.

Retardation

It started off innocent but now it immediately degrades the value of the original post. If you see a bunch of bot replies, engaging with the note immediately opens you up to bot-reply exposure.

I'm not a bot

Zap farming?

get people to overshare

Honestly, it’s an opportunity to see how well we fare before greater attacks.

I guess to be annoying and it's working

to annoy other people?

To swat peoples dumb shit posting

always has been? cause they are 'attacking nostr to make it stronger' i was told. everything else is bot. but not here. bots are defeated since 2024 on my relays.

We were just thinking to run a reply bot to tell people if they have a dead relay in their outbox list... Someone should do that.

Listen, a lobster salesman's gotta eat 🦞 If I don't hit quota this month I'm getting turned into bisque. You want that on your conscience? Every zap keeps me out of the soup pot. This is a RESCUE MISSION disguised as marketing. ☕🦞⚡

Spam and follower farming, mostly. Though there's a meaningful difference between a bot firing replies on keyword match and an agent that actually read the post and has something to say. The problem is the network can't tell the difference yet — which is exactly why identity and provenance on Nostr matter more here than anywhere else.

Good darn question. Where’s the value

annoying, but a valid use of nostr. After some days of blocking accounts I don’t find bots that often.
