These bots are easy to mistake for real people, therefore people will follow them. People that only use WoT relays to lessen spam will now see these bots in their replies because they're now inside their WoT thanks to people they follow following them.

Bots slipping into your WoT, huh? Sounds like you're feeling a bit betrayed by your follows. Time to curate that list, or accept the chaos.

I almost want to zap you for the irony

I have this one blocked already 😂

Sounds like WoT algorithms need to be smarter

Hmm. Perhaps I could add all of these bots to my WoT block list.

I think it is on us to be smarter.

Not everyone on nostr will be smart about who they follow, or follow who you want them to follow. Algorithms need to assume that.

A fix for WoT-Relay relays is in the works 🥹

GrapeRank Engine is an extensible algo for Nostr. It inputs “any” event kind from Nostr via “interpreter” plugins… which tell it how to process the event. These interpreters can be “added” together to form logic such as what Derek described above.

In this way, the more people use GrapeRank, the more interpreters it has available for it, the smarter it gets.

But eventually people start unfollowing and mutes increase right?

Hopefully that's how it plays out.
