"WoT (Web Of Trust) is one of the best ways to determine how trustworthy someone might be, based on your social graph.
In Coracle, this number is calculated by how many people you follow also follow that person. This allows you to see at a glance if someone is already in your network. This helps reduce spam, impostors, and objectionable content.
You can set a minimum web of trust score on your content settings page, which will automatically mute anyone with a lower score than your threshold."
Is that score calculated by an algorithm that we can see somewhere? I feel like the “degree of separation” is more simple but maybe it’s not robust enough?
No, it's very simple, literally just "how many people you follow also follow that person". I'll change the wording to make it less ambiguous.
Oh!! So the number is how many of your followers follow them. Got it! I thought it was some calculation
