It adds the label if both the following is true:

- you are not following the contact

- it has a 80% similar name and profile picture as someone you already follow

For picture it checks pixels and for name it uses Jaro-Winkler from https://github.com/autozimu/StringMetric.swift I tried levenshtein before but it seemed a bit buggy. Both could probably be improved but I haven't had false positives for a while, there were a few a while back but that was actually related to code errors, not the algorithms.

In your screenshot the profile picture of Ranger looks very different though, could be a very old cached false positive from back when there were code errors if you have been using Nostur since back then, or the pixel checking still needs improvement.

I clear caches regularly. 🤷🏻‍♂️
