My argument above was that we are probably irrationally shocked by the data volume of things we want to decentralize.

Collaborative curation would be awesome and we could start small but maybe not too small. I would love to move the nip registry onto nostr. Let nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 maintain a list of nips and other approve of the list or not. How hard can it be?

With the WoT idea, I imagine being able to refer to "nip1" in a way ... like %nip1 such that your client would know where to look up what my understanding of "nip1" is. If I define ["nip1", "fiatjaf.nip1"] in the right place, your client would get you there. I think there is little missing for this to work. The idea of pet names is there and the rest can be done with some parametrized replaceable events.

Right now I’m working on a proof of concept where your WoT curates content for your nostr feed. You select a “channel” (a topic, like politics or sports or electronics) and your feed is determined by a list of pubkeys, curated by your WoT.

For this to work, there are several lists curated by your WoT:

1. A list of topics

2. A list of relationships between topics (like, smartphones is a subcategory of electronics)

3. One list of pubkeys for each topic.

If Alice doesn’t see the topic she wants, like Funny Cat Videos, she adds it and maybe endorses a few profiles that post on that topic. Maybe she also adds a topic: Videos that are Relaxing, and makes the cat topic a subset of that one. So if she turns on the relaxing channel, she automatically gets all the cat vids, plus whatever other categories her WoT added under Videos that are Relaxing.
