I am a little worry about security of the network and relay.
I've seen a user here with this npub : npub1wpu9dsevjs72ujpaxyznd2llvnu2hgpu2q5a697ugr8nt3kcm35qq0xyp8
He has created his account today, have been following about 1200 users and after unfollow quite all of them.
He had liked all my recent notes immediately after i post them.
And there is multiple "like" of him on my notes which should not be possible ?
One user can like multiple time one note ?
On some of my note he liked them 7 times (it is what primal display) ???
I am not complaining about this, we can expect this kind of bot-assisted account. A real man that write true note and reply, assisted with a bot that flood the network of follow/like or whatever.
But i really worry about bot attack against the relay and the network.
If a little bot can do so much flood, what could happen under thousands bots flood...
It is hard to know if there is a human behind a public key and not a bot or a AI. But i think it will be the real next challenge to avoid #nostr been under this kind of attack one day.
HODL (nprofile…hs8c) damus (nprofile…htls)
I hope one day they will be a AI that could watch the network to defend and mute this kind of account, but until that what could we do ?
Warning someone ? Who ? Where ? How ?
Keeping in mind that this flooding bot could also flood fake warning to make noise.
I really like when things stay simple and not mass used because they are place of real freedom.
But when it scale too huge, you have the bad people that come to fight it whatever reasons they have.
Sorry for this news, i just give you my concern without filter.
Have a nice journey all.
