I think you're both right, but I tend to lean towards the FoaF (friend of a friend) moderation algorithm. FoaF makes newcomers work to get reach, because they need to know someone, and it's something that Scuttlebot did right so we all know how it works.
You can include a dial for less toleratant people that can be turned down to 'just friends', and people who want to explore more can dial it up to 3 or 4 hops if they want a global feed.
