You can use WoT from other people, but you not being the center means you might not get posts from some of the people you follow.
This can be minimized by using several WoT relays, from several people, maximizing the chance you have all your friends covered. Bu still, the best solution is to use your own.
About one of them connected to a moron, you just need to block the moron on your client. The problem we try to solve is not morons, but spam. If the spammer makes into the Wot, you just block him. If he creates a new key/user, he will no longer be in the WoT.
I appreciate your time replying.
So if I dive into this WOT hosting thing…
I basically want to ensure I have all my current friends npubs (which isn’t many as I’m just starting) documented so I can add them to my wot relay?
Then it also probably makes sense to keep a core relay or two like Damus and Primal as to ensure I can see “new content” from people I’m not yet friends with. Correct?
just add your own pub key (not the npub, the "hex" version, use a site like https://nostrcheck.me/converter/ to convert npub to hex). The WoT-relay will fetch your friends and friends of friends addresses automatically.
Got it. Will test it out later today.
Just to clarify for my brain, how will I then discover new people?
(Ie will the Damus and Primal “feeds” still populate “latest” posts etc if they are not in my WOT)
