For real. I’m making a list of features for clients that are optimal or recommended after being a new user on 5 or 6 clients in the last couple weeks. My recommendations are user-centric because I don’t know the protocol level too well. This seems like a big miss to not have this on the clients I’ve tried. I’m iOS and macOS. On what client have you seen it leveraged?
For the clients that show web of trust statistics. I think it was on coracle that it has a little circle with a number next to names. I got a message from nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a but noticed the circle had a -3 in it and in less than a second I knew it was an impersonator.
(Negative 3 means no one I know is following this person, and 3 people I know have muted this person)
I’m honestly shocked this isn’t a standard for every client. It’s one of the simplest and lowest barrier ways to deal with spam that I know of, that’s uniquely available in #nostr

I believe Coracle is the only one I’ve used that has it right next to the username (kinda like the verified check), which I think is the natural place, imo.
I’m sure others use it as well but I don’t know which ones off the top of my head or in what ways they utilize it exactly.
I know Satlantis intends to use this extensively
