"only had 4 followers"

Nobody has to be as technically capable as you to immediately recognize this as a red flag. Those who have become accustomed to the centralized world 'protecting' them just need to get educated on the implication of a new decentralized, don't trust; verify world.

Granted, this education isn't going to happen en masse overnight; but, I kind of feel like focusing on providing better and better tools for individuals to perform their own verifications has to be a more productive path in the long run than trying to replace the 'protection' they are used to getting from the old centralized platforms.
