This shows that when we run Nostr services we need to think about spam controls. Kudos to Alex Gleason (npub108p…yev6) for having those on mostr.pub.
The TechCrunch coverage and headline implies it was all of Nostr doing it, which we know to be patently false. At the same time it paints Nostr in a bad light. As these new protocols grow and more money shows up, like the $150 million just raised by farcaster, we’ll see more of this stuff.
