Yup, with caveats: my existing backend database is probably incomplete and is not actively scraping new kind 3 and 10000 notes. Once I get the next iteration running (with neo4j) and actively scraping data, we’ll have a better picture.
And of course, my data only includes pubkeys connected to me. I have no idea (but am very curious to know) whether there are other disconnected nostr networks of significance — small towns in China, for example?
176473 users.
But what if one of these accidentally follows a bot, then that bot follows 10000 other bots, will the number of "users connected to me" grow by 10000?
What is a minimum viable "influence score" to filter out bots and other crap?
Filtering by minimum of 0.1 gives me 65839 users.
Probably the best way to define your WoT network will be to set some low influence score threshold - maybe 0.1, maybe even lower. Something we can play with. The bots like in your hypothetical probably have a score much less than 0.1 although I won’t know for sure until my next iteration which I hope will be much more performant than what you see now.
