Am I alone in thinking that the Web of Trust idea isn't actually that useful? There's four accounts here that know me IRL, and others have been interacting with me for nearly three years. Can we not calculate a true web of trust in our own heads?

No. We can't, evidently. 🙄

I'm so over this rating of everything thing. We are not products to review. We are people who can or can't be trusted. Trust is the ultimate PoW. It cannot be replaced algorithmically.

I just have a spat claiming to have all the wisdom - some crap developer. He got it coming.

Exactly - and it changes from person to person and thing to thing. I remember when a mate of mine said, of another of her friends, 'I'd trust him with my life, but I wouldn't trust him with a tenner laying around'
