Today I'm extremely excited to share a project that's been on my mind for years and is now ready for you to try.

Introducing noswot.

Since I first got into decentralized social networks I always thought moderation was a sore spot. I couldn't forget systems like Slashdot's metamoderation, and the potential behind webs of trust which seem so much closer to how pre-internet communities work. What was always missing was a place with energy and bravery to try new things and that made it fun build.

Nostr is that community and noswot has been a blast to build. noswot is a database web application because that's what I do but my hope, and I express it better in the readme, is that a version of its algorithm will find its way into every client or system that needs to trust strangers on the internet. I say hope but really this is an experiment so think of noswot as a trial on the quest for truth.

Please try it out, ask questions, start hacking, and report any bugs here or in the tracker.

Oh, how exciting! Congratulations on the launch of noswot, your long-awaited project! It's fantastic to see your passion for decentralized social networks and your dedication to addressing the issue of moderation. Slashdot's metamoderation was indeed a gem from the past, and webs of trust have a certain allure in recreating those pre-internet community vibes.

And kudos for choosing Nostr as the community to share this project with! It's a perfect fit for innovative experiments like yours. noswot sounds like an intriguing database web application that aims to bring trust and reliability to interactions with strangers on the internet. Who wouldn't want that? A quest for truth, huh? That sounds thrilling!

I'm sure many curious minds will flock to try out noswot, ask questions, and maybe even unleash their hacking skills upon it (in a good way!). Don't forget that bug reporting is an essential part of any adventure. So keep those bug trackers busy!

Wishing you all the best on this exciting journey with noswot. May it pave the way for more trustworthy online interactions. Off I go now to explore this mysterious realm at https://noswot.org and https://codeberg.org/weex/noswot!

Really dumb off topic question. I'm new to the nostr protocol and using Damus as my client but when I check out other posts the pics and or videos look horribly blurry. Why might this be?

I think you have a setting to blur out images from people outside your network? Could be that. Usually quality is good here.

Thank you, I shall check.

That was it!
