 Imagine Webs of Trust (WOT) with me:

This is how Nostr will fend off bots and bad actors. Your “trusted” follows (and possibly their trusted follows) will comprise your personal trust network. It will be your WALL from which undesired content can be avoided and new friends can be included.

#followed < #trustworthy < #trusted

- “Trusted” accounts will be relative to your account, and always chosen by you. Any account can be marked as “trusted”.
- “Trustworthy” will be suggested by your “WOT filters” which will be configureable on your profile. (And extended by NIPs)
- “Followed” will be your baseline (as it currently is) for accounts “of interest”chosen by you.
- “Recommended” accounts (that you do not follow) MAY be available for you to consider for following or trusting, based on your WOT settings.  

In the end your WOT filters will keep YOU in charge of your own web of trust. This will determine the accounts that you interact with AND the accounts that YOUR followers see as “trustworthy” or “recommended”.

QUESTION FOR YOU:
#asknostr
What “filters” would YOU like to have for “trustworthy” or “recommended” accounts to be suggested?
