Follows ≠ Trust and we need to stop acting as though that is the case.
Trust is context driven, hence why I favor lists over follows.
Similarly, Mute is a tool, not an indicator of distrust. For most, its implying they dont want to see content from the referenced pubkeys, but there are users that leverage Mute as a temporary negation filter to follows because their client of choice does not adequately accomodate lists.
