She has a point. WoT censorship can be gamed in nasty ways if we're not careful. Also echochamber effects. Handle with care. If a clique can do a heathers on anyone they don't like, parts of Nostr will turn into high schools.

Unpopular opinions will die fast. Communities will schism quickly on controversial issues. And it advantages people who don't offend anyone and could have a chilling effect on what people are willing to say.

Not to be old fashioned, but my grandmother told me to judge people for myself and not to put much stock in what other people say about them. It was good advice and has kept me out of drama and made me some of my most authentic friends.

I don't just want to hear from people that most people I know agree with.

Perhaps focusing WoT on positive signals is a safer path? There are other ways to impose costs on spammers.
