Oddbean new post about login | logout Please, I beg of you, put more effort into vetting your follows, as the #WoT relays are going to have spam, if you follow spammers. That defeats the whole purpose.
We are calling it web of trust but it's just pulling web of follows. Trust feels like it should be something different.
Yeah, it solves for most of the spam, but I'm not actively participating. Got rid of all of my follows and created a "trusted npub" list, as a controller for my personal relay, that only contains npubs whose stuff I read or lurkers who are attested. In other words, only npubs I actually trust. 😅
A lost like that makes more sense than just follows. Thinking about lists and how to arrange follows has made me remember Google circles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUywKEtXX2c
Yes, @captain ☦️ compromised was talking to me about those circles and it got me thinking.
so authenticated relays with access determined by membership in the circle?

I don't call it Web of Trust anymore. I call it "friends of friends". And I don't trust friends of friends, but I do expect that they probably aren't spammers. If anybody is caught following a spammer, that can be found out and they can be unfollowed.
Is there a nip to report to a server which spam that I got from it, so the admin can have tools to a) delete it if needed b) Block the sender from using the relay?
You can send a NIP-56 defined 1984 report to the pubkey in the relay's NIP-11.

But npubs can't actually share a kind 3000 list, you see. And lists get too long, you see.
