Yes, you have to make sure that your follows only follow Approved Npubs, otherwise, you see the unapproved ones in your own feed.

And your follows need to Follow Back, otherwise they're considered rude because they don't contribute to your WoT (even if they regularly interact with you and boost/quote your stuff).

And npubs with no follows are increasingly being blocked, whereas spammers follow everyone back, so client devs give new npubs auto-follows, to keep new arrivals from getting auto-blocked and nagged and gossipped-about. So, now, the biggest npubs have bloated follower counts, full of spam and lurkers, and dead keys.

And npubs try to follow as many npubs as they can, like Good Little Bunnies, even though they never interact with 99.99% of them, whereas my npubs get blocked for being antisocial. Even though I'm easily the most-interactive and engaging npub on here, and have been for nearly 2 years.

Whole thing is fucked up and bullshit.

Speaking of which, GM Europe and Africa, and welcome to Summer Time.
