This is basically a verification of the nostr-state-of-the-art WoT score, which equals the number of profiles in the intersection of my follows and the target’s followers. Many clients calculate and employ the WoT score (perhaps with some modification to account for mutes) including zap.store, coracle.social, wikifreedia.xyz, and my own, brainstorm.ninja.
The WoT score is obviously limited bc it’s a bit of a popularity contest, anyone more than 2 hops away gets a score of zero, and it’s not clear how to make it contextual. But it is extremely effective at eliminating bots.
