hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn), with respect, “follows of follows” is only one algo. It’s a good base, but even this can be gamed.

Give it time… as networks expand … and bots become friends … because “follow” on social is NOT mark of trust but ONLY a mark of “interest” … FoF will be insufficient.

The problem to solve is NOT whether one algo or another is sufficient. The problem is black boxes and lack of choice.

WITHOUT CHOICE users are stuck with the “haphazard” content filters built into their chosen client.

WITH a WoT standardizing NIP, as I’ve described earlier, end users could CHOOSE and SHARE the filters that work for them.

Trusted friends and open markets are Nostr’s best bet for keeping bots and bad actors at bay.
