Some things to know about the Grapevine:
The Grapevine calculates WEIGHTED averages.
Where do the weights come from? EXPLICIT ATTESTATIONS OF TRUST
Trust in a broad context automatically implies trust in all sub-contexts.
Context can be as broad or as narrow as you want it to be.
Who maps out the contexts? YOUR GRAPEVINE.
So I havenโt been following this; what counts as an explicit attention of trust?
I think of an explicit trust attestation as a statement that you trust someone in some context. And it seems to me that context should generally have an action and a category.
Examples:
- โAlice trusts Bob to curate nostr content (the action) in all categories.โ A nostr follow could potentially be interpreted as equivalent to that statement.
- โAlice trusts Bob to recommend movies (the action) in the category of sci-fi (the category)โ
- โAlice trusts Bob to edit her Wikifreedia articles (the action) in the category of economics (the category).โ
- โAlice trusts Bob to edit ontologies (the action) in all WoT-related categories (the categories)โ
