No problem! I know a lot about this because I invented this particular algorithm, so YMMV when using clients other than Coracle 😂

Care to share the formula? I know it will be ad-hoc. I haven't coded any WoT yet so it would help me think about it.
Its very simple, it's just the number of people you follow who also follow a given person. I also took mutes into account by subtracting pow(2, log(n)) from the follow score where n is the number of people you follow who mute a given account.
essentially it generates a graph out of all of your follows, and their follows follows, and their follows follows
it walks the graph and computes a weight for each, which technically could be a kind hamming distance, combined with a graph weighting
so to compute each WoT score it must repeatedly walk through each of your follows, check their follows, and search for a given candidate to evaluate
it's not as complicated as it sounds, but it is as complicated as it sounds
it's highly effective and honestly personally apart from irritating problems i have lately due to refusing to use free relays coracle's automated filtering is amazing
You devs amaze me. I have a basic understanding of web coding and I'm just blown away by what you guys do. Much respect friend! 😎😎
