You don't need reviews if people literally publicly state what mints they use. Can't get any more "Action > Words" than that 😂 .

But then you still have to determine **who** to look at for the reputable mints. Letting an algo automagically compute that for you (even based on your network) gets us in the same positive feedback loop we see with large npubs now. And please, oh please, let's not kid ourselves that Trending Mints are somehow a good idea. 

In the end, you a need a quick way to combo-filter for Npubs that: 
1️⃣  You know (i.e. part of your network)
2️⃣  Take responsibility 

Communities help with both. 
- They help determine what your network is.
- Admins are the obvious first npubs to look for when it comes to who's capable and willing to lead/run things like groups, relays, servers, mints, ...
