How would you know what is real user vs dummy user to determine this? It should not be hard to spin 1k dummy users that mute anyone...

coracle has a good WoT algo that solves that problem. could just apply the algo to a relay.
Bot farms have become pretty sophisticated and good at disguising fake users as real ones. And with the generative AI, they can even fill their timeline with non-repetitive normal-looking posts until the day X.
Although the big (govt-owned) bot farms usually hire real people and pay them several cents per post.
It’s still better than nothing. Try logging in with my npub on Coracle and see how many possible bots you find in my feed.
