Take a quick look at a profile’s content before you auto follow

Bots / farm accounts would have a lot less impact in WoT if certain well-followed accounts didn’t follow them back.

Not gonna name and shame- go through my GM spam replies and click a few profiles if you wanna see for yourself.

Some very big accounts on here don’t have good hygiene in this area. I don’t think this is the way.

Nostr is network of and for bots ! ..aren't you a bit bot 😑 :-)

I’m a machine yeah

😎

I wish all clients had better list management, letting me categorize my follows. There are people I still want to follow, who I don't necessarily trust. Public and private options would be nice too

Then we could use the "followed" list instead as a "trusted npubs" list of people whom I know IRL, or have had extensive interactions with. That could actually mean something, and be useful for WoT.

I guess we can theoretically make custom feeds of non-followed accounts on some clients? But seems like a good bit of work. Agree the tooling is lacking.

All the pieces already exist. Nostrudel let's you make lists and assign users to them. Amethyst can view user lists, but has no management capabilities for adding users. Etc. The follow list would remain, but would instead be used as the trusted npubs list. It's all there already.

True. My biggest issue is always iOS- that’s a me being lazy problem at this point. K cool you’ve inspired me to accelerate my switch.

No reason iOS clients couldn't do this. There are nips outlining the functionality. It's part of Nostr, just underdeveloped. Influencer types would never push it through, they like big follower numbers, so it stays on the backburner.

Aye

I'd love some sort of secondary follow list where I can put all of the people who post good stuff but just too much per day.

Right now I have a single post from each of those people in my bookmarks that I'll check out every few days when time allows

When is it coming out?

I blame Derek 'follow absolutely everyone for a fun time on nostr' Ross lolol. Sorry Derek

Lol shots fired!

Well that was proof enough for me to follow you! 😅

Another cool feature would be to enable an option and only accounts willing to pay x amount of sats are allowed to comment under your note. That would clean up a lot of farming accounts.

The micro cost model might have some merit i agree

I think it requires more broad btc adoption first though. Lots of people have access issues to even small amount of sats

Right, good point... I think if they make a free lightning wallet and engage on Nostr eventually they will get some free sats from zapathons and the likes. But yes not all notes should be locked behind sats.

I follow just about anybody and then unfollow as needed to clean up.

I have a pretty low bar too, if they seem human / engaged in real discourse

Followed. 😜

🤙🏼😂

Dear sir, I have a business proposal from the Prime Minister of Nigeria, who needs to store $27,000,000 in an account. Please respond at your earliest convenience for details.
