Simple Mail Transfer Protocol "SMTP" ended up being rather captured/centralized toward an oligopoly over time in an effort to manage spam.

Here's another #asknostr for today:

What aspects of Nostr's design will make it more resistant to that fate? The social graph web of trust element?

Decentralized curation by one’s web of trust. Not only of content, facts, and information, but even more importantly: of the semantics, ontologies, schemas, and protocols that we use to communicate about those things.

Exactly. There's no such thing as totally "trustless". Unless you build your own co.putrr from your own parts you manufactured etc etc.

99% of plebs will have to trust in different degrees as different times. Who, what, and how much, you trust is the variables.
