Oddbean new post about login | logout I am when is see @daylightco giving a shout out on scammers and copycats. What do you think @node @Intuitive Guy ☯️ @ralf @TheGrinder @Mark 🐢⚡️🫂💜 @corndalorian Web of Trust how is this the way when people are not filtering? Ask @Marie
I do believe a metric like WoT could work, If user is able to settle his personal circle of trusted npub. I do believe the game will change when Clients will have full optionability and various different ways of possible settings from what they feed will show. A client should be as "liquid" as it can be, leaving the user to create and form his own nostr UX.
This☝🏼… but how? How exactly does Nostr (by implementations and by NIP standards) give users “full optionability”? What would Sovereign WoT look like? I can think of two foundational elements: 1. Explicit and private markers of trust between users. 2 Subscribable filters (that anyone can publish) for use across clients. nostr:note1437m6fpdcwxurnufzwzj4ztylqw66slug5teza7xllm4slnsamescpftp5
I agree with you. I do have doubts on WoT when it comes to “open sourcing” notes and other content to get zaps
Or when I see @corndalorian getting terrible scores on coracle. Something definitely needs to be adjusted
It’s an interesting topic. I suppose the value of WoT depends on the intent of its implementation. Is it intended primarily to prevent spam and validate that someone is likely who they say they are? Or is it a filtering/moderation system to corral legitimate users into a particular paradigm of social behavior? My posts aren’t everyone’s desired “flavor” of content so to speak, and that’s perfectly fine by me, so a system to allow someone to filter me and similar accounts out of their feed is a good thing. But if someone saw a meme of mine on Twitter and then came to Nostr looking for me but then saw a profile score of 14 on Coracle, they might be inclined to think I’m an imposter account. I think Coracle is missing the mark here, and perhaps using WoT as a pseudo- user/content moderation system, instead of a way to validate that you can trust that someone is who they say they are.
