 Proper WoT is not just critical for nostr to work, it’s critical for the internet at large to work. (Although “nostr” here could be used interchangeably with “internet”)

Producing garbage is extremely cheap and getting increasingly cheaper, or, said another way, it’s getting increasingly more expensive to discern what is garbage.

You either go with an authority that helps you remove 99.99% of the existing garbage or you use an approach that, much like cryptography, makes the cost of putting garbage in front of your eyes asymmetrically expensive.

We’ve tried the authority-first approach and it has led to the current state of manipulation, polarization and reduction of individuals’ agency.

 nostr cant even 🔥 get rid of 🌈 the 🎉 💯 reply 🌈 guys / other spambots and can’t get 😀 more than 20k 😂 active users (who mostly talks about b1tc01n all day) what journalist want to post 🤔 here? yet people keep comparing it 👍 to X, we still have a long way 🎉 to 🤔 go maam 🔥 
 Please explain WoT. 🙏  
 Web of Trust:
Information that you allow in is filtered and weighted by those you already trust/follow online. Thus through the six degrees of separation all information can still travel if valuable, but bits and garbage will get halted very quickly. 
 Web of Trust. Nice concept.

 #peercuration <- the answer 
 How to I get to use a relay the requires WoT and I am not approved as of yet? 
 Yeah it would be nice if client devs actually empowered users to do their own filtering instead of telling them they’ll fuck it all up.

 The problem is that people on Nostr want to have their cake and eat it too. They want absolute freedom to be totally anonymous, ephemeral identity, to see and be seen by everyone. Yet they simultaneously don't want to be spammed by anonymous random accounts. I believe this is the true internal conflict that ReplyGuy exposes.

 WoT are you folks talking about??   ....seriously, what is WoT? 
 I was going to work on installing a Nostr relay this weekend so it's probably important and I don't want to get started on something I'm going to end up having to be centralized or pay for... ?  probably not what this is about. but what is it if you don't mind? 
 Agree! "Trustless" is a misnomer.
