A follow is used as your primary interest list. It has been since the start of Nostr. That is what the word follow is used for in most social media.

Try making a new list type for your special use case like “people I trust” instead.

True. Since we had no other tool, which is instead offered by Nostr.

It's all about a new paradigm and offering users a clear way to embrace it.

In this way you defend the legacy position of the usual social networks, to what end? A social graph is not just a feed, it is used and will be used in other contexts, such as checking the reliability of an application (see zap.store).

Even the idea of a single follow list is dumb.

You might trust someone to verify software properly but not their opinions.

I would follow the government to see what shit they are doing and try to brace myself, not because i trust them. I follow news to see what they are talking about, not because i trust the media.

And hundreds of people followed me yesterday because i was cited in a list of brazilian people to follow on nostr (the author of the list might have me confused with someone else). I don't think they trust me (i wouldn't), they are just "trying" to see if the content i produce will be to their liking.

At the protocol level, it's a good idea, but needs to be complemented with something like "lists", that can be done client side. (or we need a NIP to enable us to store lists of npubs, unrelated with the following lists)

Did you read my previous note about "lists"?

We already have it: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/51.md
