Seems you are auto-followed in primal. So anyone who creates an account via primal, even if they only use it once, follows you.

That seems like something that a user should have a choice over. Can you remove yourself from that list if you want?
I don't know. I just created an npub to see the flow then tossed it. I stay away from primal for multiple reasons and would never recommend onboarding through them. It feels like it was created by people who don't actually use nostr daily.
What client would you recommend for onboarding?
Good question. The people I have onboarded have been through Amethyst or Damus. I am very hands on, though, so I don't know of a good hands-off approach. Like, here is a client and a guide/onboard flow, go for it...don't know what I would recommend there. I know this is what primal is trying to accomplish, and I appreciate their effort. It is hard to get right.
I feel the same, I try a new npub on it occasionally and I'm not a fan of primal.
I was saying though that you should be asked if you want to be on that initial follow list, or at least have an option to remove yourself. I certainly wouldn't want a bunch of fake followers who just added me because I was on a list. Very inorganic.
Oh yeah, I agree with you about that. Beyond that, I think this method of onboarding actually hinders nostr's growth.
