Well, the thing about lists is that

  1. You can have a user in more than one list, so I don't think you're really isolating them. For example, @dan can be in
    • Friends
    • Crypto
    • Developers
  2. Lists can be subscribed/shared by other users. @dan again for example could have a list of crypto analysts he follows, and maybe I want to follow the same ones. I can just subscribe to the same list.
  3. Lists aren't tags. They're collections of users. A user can be in the gamers list and post a movie review. Lists are more about the people in them than the content.

Favorites is good. It's like if you could only have one list, who would you put in it? I just think it's unreasonable to expect that people only want one list.

yea for now i just want 1 list. perhaps a top 20 i squashed that a while ago. but for now have 1 list and test it in the UI if it works we can add more lists.
