But do they engage like we do on Nostr? Or do they just scroll reels?

ChatGPT on WoT relays

Web of Trust (WoT) relays on Nostr are specialized relays that implement a trust-based system to help users filter content based on their social trust network, rather than relying solely on global moderation or algorithmic feeds.

Here’s how it works:

• Nostr basics: Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized protocol where users post events (like messages or content), which are then relayed through servers (called relays).

• Standard relays: Most relays will publish content from anyone, or filter based on simple rules (like blocking spam or specific users).

• Web of Trust relays: These relays use a trust graph—built from who trusts whom—to filter what content is relayed or prioritized. Users define trust relationships by signing trust events (like “I trust this user”), and the relay uses that data to determine which content to accept or serve to others.

Key features of WoT relays:

• Trust graph filtering: You can choose to see posts only from users you trust, or who are trusted by people you trust (like 2nd- or 3rd-degree connections).

• Better signal, less noise: Helps reduce spam, scams, and unwanted content without centralized moderation.

• User-driven: Trust relationships are entirely under your control; the protocol just builds on them.

Tools and clients:

Some Nostr clients or tools are starting to support WoT functionality, and certain relays explicitly identify themselves as WoT-compatible (e.g., relays that support NIP-05 or the trust graph events).

I muted that guy on Damus. I think he was using some script to like people’s posts, just to get follows

Okay good night 😴💤🌙

Stayed up late fooling around on Twitter and Substack apps

So much fun technology

But you can be risqué on #nostr 😉

Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing

And, of course, sovereignty!

#grownostr #plebchain

The Substack app is also pretty cool

Took Twitter / X for a whirl

It’s changed a lot. There’s a “For You” tab with the usual algorithmic crap, but there’s also a “Following” tab that only shows the latest posts and reposts from people you follow

Breath of fresh air! Many other subtle changes on the app that maybe, just maybe, make a premium subscription worth the while

After I say my good night on #nostr, I do some twitter

Twitter is my side chick 😂

Good Night 💤😴🌙 #nostr frens

It’s literally given people like us focus

I remember my late dad was very prudent with his money, carefully investing in stocks and funds

I’m neither as patient as him nor as smart. #bitcoin is so simple
