the website interpals suffered a lot of hacks in the past. i think i could make a version built on Nostr.
biggest question is how to avoid spam. girls get abused on there all the time. i suppose pay to message? something feels offputting about that on a site made for building friendships though
I don't know much about interpals, but I think paying to initiate/send with an option for the receiver to refund the sender (or make future messages free) is an appropriate model.

interesting idea! one potential problem then is setting up a bunch of fake profiles just to collect the “first message” money 🤔

I'm not sure that's a huge problem. People would just be more discerning when picking someone to send a message to, particularly if the sending fee is high and identity is weak. Alternatively, you could do some kind of escrow

So it may be best to pair such a system with optional identity verification. like my website could provide this optional service.
I’m still looking for a federated network of ID verification services. Like pay them a few bucks and they vet you and you can add their attestation on your profile

Social media verification would be good yeah. Ideas on the best way to do that? Simply add a link to your profile or link to a post with your pubkey in it?
