 We often use the concept of Six Degrees of Separation to explain the Web of Trust to friends, which leads them to visualize a social graph.

 The entire Nostr social network can be seen as consisting of first-degree friends, second-degree friends, third-degree friends, and so on. When you want to determine if a newcomer is trustworthy, you can do so by calculating how many degrees of separation there are between you and them.

This is our vague idea, but we are not sure how to create an intuitive UI for it.

 Primal shows you your network too I think. 

I’ll play around this idea.

Maybe something along the lines or circles with follow icon and then 1 2 and 3 🤔 just thinking out loud
