I dont think its meant to redefine what you already know. Its just to inform you of what (who) you dont know. Its a tool after all. Not all tools are universally useful, always.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… Web of trust didn’t work for the internet… So I’m not sure why everyone thinks it’s going to work here on the internet now? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just my 2 sats on the matter

Also not a big fan of WoT idea but the goal is if your seeing a lot of spam from bots in comments and stuff you currently have no way to block that, with WoT you can set to hide comments from WoT below X level. Ofc some valid new npubs can get hit.

Couldn’t zap you.

I’ll align it with orphan black as a shadow to web of trust. Playing the archetype “‘choose your own adventures “ game seems to work for me. :)

No. We can't, evidently. 🙄 I'm so over this rating of everything thing. We are not products to review. We are people who can or can't be trusted. Trust is the ultimate PoW. It cannot be replaced algorithmically.

I have been using it for a few months. I find it very useful to see which replies are scammers or bots and which ones deserve my attention. Same for DMs and notifications in the app. I find myself trusting users more if I know my algo has given them a bigger score than others.

I use WoT on Coracle and it works great as a base-level filter for Spam etc. It's also a pretty solid way to distinguish impersonator profiles, at least for reasonably high-profile individuals.

No, you're not.

don't trust, verify.

Ive noticed that it kind of ossified the people you see and its basically impossible for a new person to be seen by anyone using WoT.

I'm sorry Matt, we had a good run.

Exactly

I am still unclear what it is for. Trust is not something you can calculate. Someone can easily rick all the metrics and you cannot still trust them. Trust takes time and discernment. I am also yet to understand on "what metrics" and who agrees to it? If anyone creates whatever then does that negate...
