I haven't been zapping as much because I don't know if the note I'm zapping was made by a bot, some of these bot accounts are getting smarter at pretending to be real humans, that's another reason nostr needs the Facebook friend request system, because I only want to accept friend requests of people I know in real life, or I know are real people based on their notes, without the friend request, nostr is too much like x where anyone and any bot can reply to our notes which turns it into a trashy fake full of bots social media which makes me not want to zap any note.

This could potentially become a NIP. There are multiple ways it could work, the easiest might be this: For individual posts, you choose who can reply to it. This will only be client enforced, but that's fine. Could be done with a simple tag, something like: "following-only". If that tag exists, then clients should disable the reply buttons if the original poster does not follow you. And it should filter out all events not posted by people you follow. I'm tempted to implement this already, because you are correct that getting the spam away is important - and this will work fully without users needing to enable some Web of Trust filter. Nostria allows me to set "Following" as a filter on any post, but that's my following, I will implement another option that will only show replies by those that poster follow, and disable reply options and reactions. This way, we can begin to test this behavior before actually changing how the events are constructed.
