True. Since we had no other tool, which is instead offered by Nostr.

It's all about a new paradigm and offering users a clear way to embrace it.

In this way you defend the legacy position of the usual social networks, to what end? A social graph is not just a feed, it is used and will be used in other contexts, such as checking the reliability of an application (see zap.store).

Even the idea of a single follow list is dumb.

You might trust someone to verify software properly but not their opinions.

I would follow the government to see what shit they are doing and try to brace myself, not because i trust them. I follow news to see what they are talking about, not because i trust the media.

And hundreds of people followed me yesterday because i was cited in a list of brazilian people to follow on nostr (the author of the list might have me confused with someone else). I don't think they trust me (i wouldn't), they are just "trying" to see if the content i produce will be to their liking.

At the protocol level, it's a good idea, but needs to be complemented with something like "lists", that can be done client side. (or we need a NIP to enable us to store lists of npubs, unrelated with the following lists)

Did you read my previous note about "lists"?

We already have it: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/51.md
