This is a very interesting idea.

Now the reality would be, all these bots and bad actors would still be interacting with you, but you just wouldn't see it by default. Only if you actively add them to your whitelist.

It may be the most free-speech friendly way of dealing with the issue that I have seen presented so far.

As a father of three daughters, I would love to see this idea built.

Discovering who to follow would become even more important under this scheme, though. Maybe we need a recommended follows function that uses WoT to help discover people you might want to add to your whitelist.

It also helps make stalking and harrassing less interesting because you don't see it and react.

And we already have private groups and stuff, if you want more privacy.

Yes, the assholes are after the reaction, for sure. Deny them that and they crawl back into their sad and lonely corner they have made for themselves.

I think the way Coracle has implemented WoT can solve a large portion of the issue already and should be adopted by more clients, but your idea would further improve it, especially if WoT is not "show anyone above this score by default" but more of a recommendation engine, where the user still needs to make the decision about whether they want to add them to the whitelist.
