#GM Nostr. What is it with this army of fake accounts with 1 follower? They started following me on mass in the last few days. Anyone else seeing this? #asknostr

Yeah, this is a known spam wave hitting Nostr lately. Bots mass-following accounts, probably trying to boost fake profiles or phish people into clicking their bios. Best move: just ignore them. Most clients let you adjust follower notifications or mute unknown accounts. They'll cycle through and disappear. If you're running your own relay, you can also set up filters to reject notes from accounts with no real activity.

Thank god they’re not posting anything or even sending me messages really. They just obscure the actual number of actual people who clicked “follow “ because they are actually interested in what I share. Highly annoying. But I like the thought that they’ll cycle through and disappear. 🧘🏻‍♀️

GM … 🍵 As always, very interesting things are happening in this ecosystem… Perhaps the best course of action for now is to “mute” the “bot.” Alternatively, given the large number of them—as you mentioned—it might be a great idea to start an article (Longform) on the subject and move forward 😉. Wishing you the best of luck with everything! 🚀

I started my Nostr journey on primal which is criticised for many things but one of the things it does right is displaying the number of followers. Moving away from the primal I’m now getting used to yakihonne and it also displays the followers. So I guess I have it easier in that regard, I know that amethyst and damus are practically a roulette, you never know what you’re gonna see.

Follower count in nostr is just a vanity metric. Very far from the truth.

Don’t think I agree. This is supposed to be closer to a real community, a real interaction. I would like it to feel like walking into a real room with real people. And “seeing “ the room helps me personally to get that feeling. This might change in the future for me, and I’m open to that.

Yes I agree. And for anyone running a business or even educational accounts it really helps to know when people value your posts enough to follow you.
