Are we building the best WoT Search relay out there? Probably.

A relay that has everything: spam, scams, slop... all of it. But REQs and Search only return results from each user's wider network (follows-of-follows, 12 hops deep, minus mutes and reports). So, if a scammer or bot network uses the relay, they'll get the scam network. If a real human uses it, they'll get the network around them. Everyone stays happy.

And since it uses NIP-85 trust providers, you can choose any algorithm to score your network by any provider. Just subscribe to one and it will work automatically.

It's your WoT, not the relay operator's WoT.

It fixes Nostr without centralizing anywhere.

It sounds confusing. You are the expert. All we want is for imad to stop annoying me. Hope you can accomplish it.

That sounds interesting... And really beneficial. Though search generally sucks across the Nostr. Anything that improves searh is immediately a win.

This is "web of follows" not "web of trust." I don't follow anyone, so it's useless for me. "Web of trust" would be like letting me select who I trust to tag verified humans, and then letting those people tag verified humans, which no app does because it would be too good.

When do you expect this relay to be available? If you share when it goes live, I’d like to test it as a search relay in one of my own Nostr projects. The idea of letting each user bring their own WoT instead of inheriting the relay operator’s trust model is especially interesting to me.
