It definitely is. If you don't turn off DMs from all the public servers you're in you'll inevitably be hit with the crypto spam bots.

There's also the issue of bots silently sitting on servers and logging all chats, user statuses, etc.

And yet other websites (ex HN, Stack Exchange) manage to combat such spam without ID.

> bots silently sitting on servers and logging all chats

Anyone who thinks this isn't happening in every public communication channel is hopelessly naive.

The ones that aren't marked as bots and wouldn't have their identify verified anyway?
