What is a “trusted” user on Nostr? How deep are the networks of trust on Nostr? How often are users “exploring” interactions outside their trusted network?

If your own reputation is tied to the validity of what you represent to a particular WoT system, you'll be more careful.

I imagine a nuanced, "Level of Trust" system:

0) I know this person and would trust them to babysit my grandchild

1) I work with them, they're OK

2) I see them occasionally, they seem nice

3) Met them online, they seem solid

4) Online, prolly not a bot...🤔

5) Online, sketchy as hell...

6) Who the heck is THIS?

That's the gist, could be refined/scored in many ways.😃

Brilliant. We are discussing exactly this feature as “context of trust”.

(next panel this month )
