Getting your first follower on Nostr can be tough—give it a try and you'll see. As for data, Nostr lacks a scaling architecture, so clients use a lot right now. There's no clear path to scaling since it needs a uniform interface. That said, tools like Ditto should help reduce bandwidth.

You shouldn't need a follower to kick wot off. A simple like ir reply already does it.
Good to know, though that's still quite challenging. Give it a try—most replies come from a single account, and developers are having a tough time managing it.
I meant ideally.. Nostr WOT implementations are still really dumb and just look at the follow list :(
maybe some kind of captcha? Try to post to a relay, it sends you a captcha, solve it and send back in time, you get whitelisted. Is any of the current authorization methods flexible enough to support this? I could try to implement it in the WoT relay.
I just read NIP-42, i think we can use it for some kind of captcha.
Sure. I joined about 6 weeks ago, and the first follower took 2 weeks, if I remember correctly. But at least it was a human.
My first followers on X were cute Asian girlfriend bots with slightly misformed extremities in their self generated „photos“ 😂
I will be your Asian girlfriend
