If someone's allying with a domain that spams my periphery with noise, i really don't care about them and wouldn't bother validating their signal as a user in the first place.
Being able to have a nostr address point to so many free domains, and they choose the spammy one? No thanks, i'd rather block the domain by default. If they want to be seen by me, they're welcome to do the "work" and change out their address.
Its a bidirectional relationship as well. Maybe I only want to communicate/see users from @mynostrcommunity.com or want to block anyone that does/nt have a NIP-05. Its about enabling optionality and multiple types of barriers. What ultimately makes nostr robust as a whole ecosystem is that there's no single criteria to game.
You'll break nostr eventually if there's a singular best & unchangingWoT metric that all relays and clients use. Good luck doing that when every user, relay and client have even 10's of WoT algorithms to choose from.
Yup totally with you, being able to choose the notes you can and can't see through their domain affiliation is awesome.
Whitelist + blacklist for clients maybe, filter by nip05, not just WoT or relay choice but implicit rules like a firewall... small communities would love this so they can exist in their own pocket of the internet without spam or intervention from unknowns.
Surely this could be a model for more usage of nostr without nostr even being known to be the underlying tech?
