People on nostr shouldn't be getting fooled by fake accounts. But I keep hearing about it. Multiple clients now will show you if a person is well-followed by your network or is a stranger with 0 followers. We need to get that feature into all the clients because apparently some people are falling for scams.

sadly 😢
Yea but, there also are spammy bot accounts that fool many to follow them
We also need a checker who will show us if some of the fakers sneaked into our following list.
I like no followers it stays clean that way....
I think that counting followers on every account seems costly, so the only option is the former.
how about a trust score displayed on a scale from 0 to 100 right next to your name / avatar ?
like a credit card score.
Gossip simply counts how many people that you follow happen to follow the account.
this is maybe why i couldn't see nostr:npub10p88lusq9sl2csxdmaydxpl3fugygta0h6m6u0ch5ru8406kj3vsg4vq5n on Gossip
to this day i am this fool's only follower it seems so his score would be zero
i'm afraid there may be no solution for people like him who attack everybody who talks to them LOL
