rip hashtag following… looks like its being abused by spammers. This was expected tbh.
You can go to your profile and remove all hashtag follows until we have better tools to deal with this.

I was considering the idea of "funded hashtags" that can be paid, with for example 1-10 sats. This would make it costly to spam such funded hashtags.
The funded hashtags would be a separate system vs regular hashtags.
The funding amount could go to the relays that transmit the funded hashtags.
This would not be a perfect system and spam would still happen, but it might be worth a thought.
Tags need to be AI generated based on the actual content so it can’t be manipulated.
Nobody wants to put in the work to make the training set needed for high quality results. Any AI generated hashtags a guarunteed to be trash.
how its going

Nostr was never going to survive without solving the "bot hell" problem, which I honestly think proof of work could help solve.
Nostr protocol should be exchanging user agents and it wouldn't be impossible to require proof of work appropriate for either mobile or desktop clients. Of course, the capability of a desktop client will be absurdly disproportionate to what mobile clients can do.
Good point. Then force a one sat fee as the proof of work. Then every client can use an “energy” token and clients with a battery won’t be left out
That is exactly why I never use hashtags on any platform ever. Hashtags take on only the worst aspects of regular text search and actual moderated tags.
