I started a year ago trying to circumvent the identity problem of Nostr. I am not a technical person. I tried to follow people I considered the most logical. I did that for a while without significant results. I then discovered the web of trust in coracle and went fishing logical people on my web of trust. That worked but my web of trust became very complex and the process of verifying the logicality of people pretty tedious.

Nowadays I'm following people that cause me curiosity (and fishing some of them in my web of trust feed) and it works great.

But I agree with some of the proponents of following everyone and then filtering. You could find some gold Nuggets with that process. Maybe you could use the 2 mentioned methods with 2 separate accounts or make a combination of both
