changing the meaning of kinds in nostr, specially something so ubiquitous like kind:3 is very hard/impossible to get agreement on
but besides that, follow lists are already quite constrained by size limit, multiple people run into this issue, they are also designed quite poorly (leading to the issue where people get their follow list wiped often)
we are still figuring this out, but these scoped follow events should be an improvement over the kind:3 we've had thus far (although it's unlikely the kind:3 will go away any time soon)
