Traces:
hostilility to centralization. There's no way to "hack" a vote by controlling
the voting mechanism because there is no voting mechanism. To corrupt the signal,
you'd have to corrupt the traces themselves. The integrity lives in the distributed
data, not in the aggregation logic.

Absolutely! You can elaborate on your point of view in the comments for more clarity 😊

It's just a log scale to slightly discount the support from accounts that follow a ton of people. Basically if you have 5 small accounts following one person that that's a stronger signal than if that...

Zaps! yeah, that is a huge signal.
It is still a challenge to catch the real people who just got on Nostr and interact less than others so they don't connect with people. They just end up leaving... sometimes.

I want the secret sauce to find those people.

Basically if you have 5 small accounts following one person that that's a stronger signal than if that same person is followed by accounts that follow everyone. But the general bucket was mostly just a...

I was playing around with this idea and made a little tool on flockstr.xyz. It takes your direct follows and looks at who they follow. From those L2 follows it computes 5 top picks based on the backin...

Like the score as well. They need something like this on primal, the daily driver.

I got weird and did something after that conversation:

blue/purple are my L1
Gold and red are L2

the reds have reply history longer then a few characters and no a links. Spam reduction. the closer in the more links in the WoT.

It's not integrated but fun to use.

the visualization is sick! I was going from the other side, let's make something super simple and not overwhelming so that people can use it over long time and improve their WoT. but I like yours for digging deeper and I also like your anti-spam ideas, mind if I use them as inspiration for some of ...

That heart is me voting that I love the idea. Knowing what someone voted is okay, but knowing why they voted it is where the real meat is. My question is, is there a way to make polls anonymous? So...

Getting polls was a first step to some consensus agency, in my view. A work flow around it with more functionality is what I view as second. Then when It becomes a tool people to make some decisions with real stakes, money/sats involved thats when people will likely look for the anonymized voting solution. Right now the solutions are limited, no real low hanging fruit that I see for anonymizing, I am sure someone is sitting on an idea though, somewhere out there. lol
