To make #WoT work, we have to think it through.

problem: follows != trust

Solution: contextual trust attestations

Problem: too much work for the average user to issue trust attestations for every single user and in every single context.

Solution: hierarchical contexts. An attestation in a parent context automatically applies to all child contexts.

Problem: too much work for the average user to maintain a huge and complicated hierarchy of every single context

Solution: your WoT manages the hierarchy for you.

Wot by categories or lists by categories, topic category schema

For some reason I can see your reply in primal and nostrudel but not in damus. In fact I can't see any of your notes in damus.

Are you asking whether we should categorize the WoT or categorize lists? The answer is the categorize all the things.

Of course, there will be no universal, all encompasing hierarcy or schema or ontology or whatever you call it that everyone will be required to agree upon. Any attempt to do so is ill-advised and doomed to failure. You will maintain your own hierarchy about the things you care about, ignoring anything you don't care about (limited by the amount of memory you wish to dedicate to this endeavor), and your WoT will assist you in maintaining the hierarchy. And it the same hierarchy will serve multiple purposes: your trust attestation will make reference to a context, a WoT score might make reference to the same context, etc.

Not unlike how the brain works.
