How can it be a "connection" if it is only one way?
Adding an npub to my kind 3 just means I'll see that npub's posts in my feed. We've not necessarily made any kind of mutual connection and may have no relationship to one another at all.
All that it means is that I am interested in seeing what that npub has to say.
If it worked by sending some kind of request to connect that had to be approved by the npub I was trying to connect with, then you might be on to something.
Well it’s mostly a network so thematically it makes sense to me. “Connected to” (following) and “connections” (mutuals)
Yeah, but we're talking about people here, not just nodes on a network.
"Connect" has a relationship implication in the context of people connecting with one another that isn't implied when talking about nodes on a network.
More importantly, a personal connection is something stronger and more meaningful than what is happening when a user adds an npub to their kind 3. They may have no personal connection to that npub at all. It just means they want that npub's notes to show up in their home feed.
Observe/ing => you follow someone/your following list
Observers => followers
Friend => you both "follow" each others
