 I hear that, but how would they prove they are legit with their npub? Like what would I ask them to do to prove themselves? 
Feel like I’m missing something here but no idea what it is 😅

@Sachin suggested trusting the one with most follows by people I trust, which could work but could also be misleading since I don’t know if they were misled. 
 Sorry very much, my fault, I didn't see you mentioned them at the beginning of the sentence. I was thinking you was asking us for a feedback just using the picture!

This is a case where the nip-05 helps as verification tool: nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsg5cway's nip-05 uses the official SimpleX domain, so it's the correct one. This is a better indicator than any followers count.
The other one is an account from a Mastodon bridge, maybe it also legit, I cannot say.

Sorry again for the poor response caused by my distraction. 
 Np, and yes makes sense! If the NIP-05 is from the official domain then that would be the best indicator
