I also think any group that is based on WoT or follows-of-follows will quickly turn into a shitshow because a lot of people have follow lists full of crazies, spam, scammers, and porn. Like, look at the follow lists. Look at the feed of the bigger WoT relays. Or, rather, don't. 🙈
They always degrade because follows are such a cheap signal.

Also, for example, a Christian following an atheist is common, but those atheists shouldn't be able to overun a Bible study group. That would defeat the purpose of having the group. You'd have to throw all of the Christians out who follow the atheists, to get rid of the atheists, but that's punishing someone for having a diverse set of friends, which is not so great.

I may follow men, but it doesn't mean I want them all invited to my pregnancy group. People who are carnivores don't make for fitting members of a vegan group. And so on. Not that they might not _individually_ be worth inviting, but not a blank invitation.

Making everything about follows destroys the use cases for almost everything.
