Encrypted lists are important for this reason. They aren’t widely implemented yet.

Nostur allows to follow silently. Using only lists (zero following) kills the WoT since there’s nothing to follow publicly unless the private lists are shared.

Yet, less signaling, and its consequences.

I think people will use both. Lists for more risky follows, follows for closer friends.

Added complexity is always the way to go.

Twitter had lists for years. It’s not even a new feature. 🤷‍♂️ No perfect answers for spam, but the combination of options is getting better.

I was being facetious. Spam on something like Nostr was always going to be a major challenge.
