Basic questions for the group… (answer abstractly from the ideal perspective. We can tackle actual implementation problems later)

1: What does Sovereign WoT mean to you?

2: Does it require “is trusted” (for a followed account) to be explicitly set by the user, or could “is trusted” be ONLY calculated by algos and still count as sovereign?

3: If explicit is required, can “is trusted” simply be a “follows” (kind3) list, or does it actually need a dedicated ( private event kind) “trusted” list?

4: Would (your) Sovereign WoT require that content filters follow users across clients, and be sharable by them?

5: Should these filters (for end users) be publishable ONLY by clients or ONLY by relays or ONLY by DVMs or ANY and ALL of these?

1 Each individual chooses his or her default visible trust algorithm, and can change its parameters freely independent of client.

2 Yes, No. And, 'Is trusted' is not granular enough. 'Is trusted in meatspace' vs 'is trusted globally' vs 'is not untrusted' vs 'is prolly not a fed'

3 Absolutely not. A user should have the freedom to follow someone they do not trust without it affecting their WOT algorithms, if they don't want it to.

4 Require? Perhaps not. An option though. 'Create Throwaway Filter' or 'Create Persistent Filter' or 'Edit default filter' or 'Change default filter' -- these should all be independent of client

5 I'm not sure the implications, but it seems not only by clients.

I definitely think there should be a market for filters. I need to be able to click and see 'what do employees of x company' tag this image, say about this fact-check, rate this person's trust, etc.

Dude. That’s awesome feedback! I thought I posted these questions to the sovwot working group… but I guess not. Happy to gather lots of ideas!

1. Gobbledygook.

2. Preferably, or, a mix of explicit setting and a list of criteria the user can set to develop a vetted list to choose from.

3. Trusted should be a separate, private list. Not everyone I follow is "trusted." no one needs to see the list of those that I do unless I wish to share it publicly. As such, the list should default to private, but should be allowed to be shared with another nym or just made explicitly public, with annoying warnings before doing so.

4. I'm not sure what you mean.

5. Lists should be agnostic as long as they are defaulted to private.
