 As a dev, I dont want client devs creating standardized WoT algos.

Thats a centralizing technique.

Instead, we should be building tools to empower users to define, share, and refine their own algorithms/filter rules.

By far the best clients today that do this are...
1) Amethyst - for letting users define word/phrases to filter out
2) Gossip - for list management
3) Nostrudel - for list management

Clients going in the wrong direction imho are those tying to create or apply dev controlled built in algorithms.. Notable offenders include
1) Primal - for the trending lists that just focus on most quotes and replies as a popularity contest amongst influencers
2) Coracle - for incessant WoT scoring algo based on follow lists and mute list
3) Damus ? is it now joining the follow/mute algo bandwagon?

Reliance on DVMs as a WoT filter is also perilous. Though using it for answers and discovery has merit.
