Show follows over high-follower-count

[Giszmo]

Summary

In the relevance evaluation of profiles, consider follows as the primary criteria, not followers.

Basic example

I follow Dannybuntu and he might have more than one account and I'm pretty sure I'm following the correct one but this is what I get when I mention Danny:

No Danny followed by me in the list.

Now I keep writing a "b":

I'm still not sure which one it is. I have to abandon this tab for now and figure out ...

Motivation

In nostr, fake followers are cheaper than in any other social media platform. The whole concept of followers has to be re-thought.

I do care how many followers I have but only within a meaningful group. The most immediate meaningful group is my own follows. How many back-follows do I have?

Next, if I mention a "Danny", show me all Dannys sorted by:

• Dannys I follow
• Dannys my follows follow
• Dannys my follows folllows follow
• Maybe go to the effort of showing me more than that but only after the above. Any Danny that is not followed by my follows' follows is probably not a Danny I want to mention.

The same concept applies to the list of followers on the profile pages. When considering if I want to follow somebody, I don't care if he generated a million followers but if I see five of my follows following them, that is signal!
