I agree with your first point, valuing each follow/mute should take into account how many users the user is following. I think ill try to learn the math behind page rank and see if it works any better for me

For 2. I agree this does not scale but I'm trying to find a simple enough solution that a pure (no server) nostr client can implement that will be the most effective. Once I figure out how to implement the "simple" self sovereign method I would love to see how this could be off loaded to a third party server (or even a personal server on a Umbrel)

But for my use case in noStrudel I need the "WoT" to do two things:
1. Sort pubkeys by "rank" (find the real hodlbod test)
2. Filter out new, on-off spam accounts

The effectiveness of these things will vary based on if the user is using a locally calculated WoT or a remote service, but I think thats fine
