Mutes and follows are the WoT tools we use right now but muting my cousin who shares too many food fotos isn't distrust and following some malicious influencer isn't trust.

I'm very curious how WoT will work in nostr. How will people express their trust for some plumber without following them or endorsing them for financial advice? Which application will bootstrap WoT on nostr? How will the interface be so that people actually care to provide this valuable data?

We really only need to crack this puzzle for a tiny niche first. As soon as it works for handymen in Springfield - better than any established platform - we can grow from there. The network effect will do the rest.

Ideally, the primitives are so simple that any app developers that need WoT will integrate this WoT into their tools, too cause the network effect doesn't only work for users, it also works for developers. Build and they will come? Just build! They are there already!
