I would follow the government to see what shit they are doing and try to brace myself, not because i trust them. I follow news to see what they are talking about, not because i trust the media.

And hundreds of people followed me yesterday because i was cited in a list of brazilian people to follow on nostr (the author of the list might have me confused with someone else). I don't think they trust me (i wouldn't), they are just "trying" to see if the content i produce will be to their liking.
