Oddbean new post about login | logout This would also allow cool features like a hypothetical "trusts all npubs in existence" slot in the list that you can click and drag to the top to override all reports and see everything unfiltered
Oh, I see after giving it more thought how a context field would be useful for adding another degree of separation into the "web" I rate npub x at 90% for politics, they rate npub y at 90% for politics, npub y gets their opinions included without being in my list - doesn't work for different contexts without the "for politics" field But that's still only 2 fields - why would we want 3? 🤔 I might have to read the thread more later today
After reading the thread a bit more, I can now see reasons for 3 fields: genre context (code vs politics), action context (edit vs delete), and trust score/ranking. I still can't see the reason for the 3 fields to be context, score, and confidence. Still reading.
Have read about half the thread and it all further solidifies my opinion that the ideas being discussed in that thread are over-complicating something that can be much simpler. If anyone wants to give a direct explanation of what I'm missing, I'm open to it. Otherwise, it seems to me the best path to functionality right now would start with adding 1 field, then maybe a second and third could be added later.
