Saturday morning NIP PR 🏃

A proposal to allow following people on a per-kind(s) basis.

Right now follows are all-or-nothing. You either follow them throughout everything they do on nostr or you don't. This proposal allows being more granularity to control the user's preferences.

Something like "I am interested in what this person sells in a marketplace, but I don't want to see their tweets, pictures and live streams."

This has the side-benefit of:

* no more follow list wipes

* any app can implement the infamous "followed" notifications very easily

Why not just do this at the client level?

Follow all events, then the client itself filters out the event types.

Good points. Can't wait for the dev nerds to figure these cool features all out. Meanwhile, I'm selling jerky over here 😅
