start.njump.me offers suggested follows that you can uncheck (including npubs added by whoever sent you the link).
This seems like the obvious way to let users start with default follows without confusing them re: where they came from.

This is a good solution but I would still bitch about the quality of selection being offered. Nostr has so much promotion of bad npubs and very little promotion of good npubs. So far, as a result, we've also gotten suppression of all the good npubs that aren't so heavily promoted.
