Attestations fix this.

Tell me more?
Attestations allow the signalling of the validity of any other event.
Now we have the NIP NIP by nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhgprdmhxue69uhkwmr9v9ek7mnpw3hhytnyv4mz7un9d3shjqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd4hhxarj9ec82c30hyvdwq clients can effectively ACK/NAK those on a per NIP basis.
Other devs/orgs can attest to the truthfulness/validity of those claims, along the same lines nostr:nprofile1qqsfzm94lura8dguaalkk6ml23umzqqmgqwqaqj43ms6yfgycl2s0jgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcuzkyta does.
Attestations all the way down. A WoT for notes.
I think attestations from end users will be a great tool to keep “apps honest” … but not a fix on its own.
In conjunction with voluntary “self reporting” by app developers AND education and support for actual people to “give a shit” about the app choices they make … we might crack this nut together. 💜
