 Nostr users not sticking around again? Could it be that Primal is worse than ever and nothing works right?

 How does a pubkey become trusted? 
 nip05 maybe? 
 So, this could be an error with the methodology? 
 Never been able to get a real answer for this myself! 
 It has followers and event history, it’s not just a throwaway npub created for spamming. 
 Thank you! 
 How many followers and how much event history?  
 It’s explained here.

 Thanks for the link!

I assume this is a constantly changing list? Could that explain some of the dips? Is the graph retroactively adjusted whenever a nip05 provider is blacklisted? https://image.nostr.build/6f7c4d94246a3d79d31af6fe9cf623e43c9498d2bb4256bf1908cc31d5498928.jpg 
 You’ll have to ask @brugeman about anything more specific. 
 Trusted is when you have non-zero trust rank. Usually any interaction from another trusted user is enough. The above quote is no longer accurate, an even then it was about seed nodes that had trust at the start of the calculation.
