there can be situations where another client is updating an older version of one you have locally that is newer. this would technically be the "newest" even though its updating an older list. A delta would notice something is off

I'm going to end up reinventing CRDTs aren't i
chatgpt things so:
CRDT-Based Approach
Model the contact list as a Set CRDT:
• Add-Wins Set (AWSet): Always prefer additions to the set unless explicitly removed.
• Ensure removals are deliberate by tracking deletion markers (tombstones) for each p tag.
hrm
Now that i think about it, the safest thing to do is ask the user which follows and unfollows were intentional whenever it notices that it is updating multiple p tags at once. You don’t even need historical deltas for this
