Is Coracle doing this now, nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn?

Yep, but a little more flexibly because you can choose a wot threshold. I also released an update yesterday that penalizes the score based on how many people you follow have muted that person
An adjustable threshold sounds useful 🤙 nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe any such plans for Nostur?
I had some ideas in mind, some very easy to implement and some more complex:
- add a "nostr dunbar number” where if someone follows too many people its probably not well curated and could be ignored
- weighted scores based on contact list size
- complete pagerank-ish system but for pubkeys (track inbound and outbound follows)
I'll probably start with easy ones first, but so far I've put them all on low prio because the current WoT filter already seems to work pretty good.
💯 the current filter does work pretty well.
The simple version works amazingly well, but the more complex ones might be nice for powering an explore view populated with accounts outside your network
Not sure those work too well in practise. There are always ways to game the system if one wants. For example, using lists or some other ways to hide the real following.
Sometimes there are just different ways and styles of usage. For example, Robert Scoble builds huge lists and follows a lot of people and his user behaviour is not typical.
A follow/unfollow pumping is a signal that’s hard to justify unless it’s a software bug.
