If your own reputation is tied to the validity of what you represent to a particular WoT system, you'll be more careful.
I imagine a nuanced, "Level of Trust" system:
0) I know this person and would trust them to babysit my grandchild
1) I work with them, they're OK
2) I see them occasionally, they seem nice
3) Met them online, they seem solid
4) Online, prolly not a bot...đ¤
5) Online, sketchy as hell...
6) Who the heck is THIS?
That's the gist, could be refined/scored in many ways.đ
Thinking we should do trust buttons like these in clients, next to the follow button?
It would need to be tied to a passive metric. I dont need a social army silencing me as they autobot my account.
I was thinking more like opt-in and positive only. Are you thinking of a âdonât trust this person button?â
I was definitely thinking of the only negative view there. A trusted button could be interesting but it too could be gamed I guess.
What about a 1 month time count that requests a review at that point?
Iâm assuming all WoT is relative and thereâs no such thing as a global WoT score. So everyoneâs WoT score is different t depending on which account you login with.
Heck I imagine the bots will have WoT amongst themselves!
Woah. Ok I am underthinking this
I am a big fan of a personal âfilterâ page, inside a client. There could be an entire Trust individually weighted section:
Time followed
Notes between
Followed by you ect
I really need easy mutuals indicator since that is what I usually limit to and works well for me
Iris has had this for a long time where you could set how many degrees of âfollowâ for your feed. Like only see posts from my followers and my followersâ followers. Seems lots of other apps have this too.
Maybe before you follow someone new you can see how connected they are to your current network, and if they are barely connected maybe you be more careful before following them, etc
