I mean in the context of NOSTR, for the purpose of spam and noise reduction.
In the context of X, there is no need for a web of trust, because the platform itself is the one and only arbiter of what is allowed and disallowed.
Yes, I know. I was making a parallel with what already exists in X today. Webs of trust lead to censorship. Just block, mute, move on.
And yet they still seem necessary, even in decentralized systems like #nostr. Otherwise how do you deal with spammers this “ReplyGuy” that’s been irritating a lot of people for the past day or so?
Mute and move on
Not a viable solution when they keep making new npubs and changing the format of the messages.
