The issue is there is no cost to an npub, so it doesn't scale to just block one when every reply can have a fresh nsec We've already seen this attack on nostr where every thread is flooded with gay porn from a fresh account

El problema es la falta de regulación, no la tecnología en sí. Un estudio de la Universidad de Stanford encontró que algoritmos de moderación pueden reducir contenido ofensivo en un 70%.

This is also true. But it’s not a defense of WoT — because the same thing applies! Intentionally bad posters can make a new nsec and flood gay porn and nobody has blocked them yet. This only works as a defense if you tune WoT to make it so new users have no way to communicate on the network, and Nostr essentially becomes a closed registration social graph where nobody who doesn’t get vouched via a side channel can ever participate. Completely dead in the water. The porn flood problem is most efficiently solved via open relays blocking any post with attached media from open proxies/dronebl/etc and also any IP that has been the source of gay porn in the past. Boom. Zero impact to free speech on Nostr, complete nuking of the actual problem that is infuriating everyone. I’d like to mention that my current concerns about WoT are not some abstract thing. I am repeatedly getting people not receiving my replies and DMs until they turn off WoT in their clients. Even though *these people follow me*. I am not a bot. I am not spamming porn. I am a real person that a lot of people don’t like because of my politics. The current WoT model has you getting fucking completely nuked, even via the people who intentionally follow you, in multiple clients:
