Nostr Web Client

The scores are currently based on the network of relationships, your reputation increases when followed by high-reputation users. Since there are a lot of spam accounts in our network, most normal users end up in the top 10%.

I think this is quite different from a social credit system.

it's soft defense for a soft attack method. i'm sure there will be ways found to game current schemes and they will get more advanced and circumvent these attacks.

it's necessary security, but i think the current designs will limit legit new people from appearing, i think money is a primary simple thing, LN+nostr... NWC. the idea of not zapping to use stuff will be normalized.

I initially thought about the new user issue as well. But I realized that new users are usually brought in by an existing user, once that user follows them, their reputation is higher than that of spam accounts.
