Agree, though we do have decent starting conditions.

Top wot users are generally technically competent, and their effects on the scores of who they follow could be stronger

It'l normalize over time, wot and other similar metrics should be robust to small changes like if someone follows a bot by accident or whatever.

Of bots are useful, they will have good trust (being followed but not following others). Dave is a useful bot, there are a few time chain bots that are useful.

if a bot is bad it will get buried from mutes.

in the middle has a similar score to newcomers, which should eventually classify as show or don't show in feed after a number of actions happen.

Now, malicious actors? Purposely inserting them in communities to sow division - yeah WOT can't protect against that. Only the strength of the community can hope to guard against that.

What? Sarah is evolving!

I have a small midi keyboard. Tried setting it up and then got a little overwhelmed 😅. Would love to get into making beats. Hardware drum machines are tempting

Wa happen?

Difficult to name it all. Mostly just the community enabled the pursuit of knowledge - nostr libraries and implementations, bitcoin, security, podcasts, ai , ponder what "other stuff" could be and how to implement it. Difficult to believe the stuff i've explored and worked on.

So, pure software? Downloadable?

Glowing 😁

i've learned so much this past year. Much of it facilitated through #nostr

Network metric on how much a node (a user) influences another based on the connections in that network

What are you making then with?

But of course 🙂

Please bookmark it then! Want to read it 😁

Reflecting on who i interact with a lot, its less the influencer type, more tight nit than other social media. Nice to see what the popular ones are doing but i care more in my extended circle of friends.

Definitely not the only way people use nostr, but there's at least a few of us here and i think exclusive relays - not paid, not computational (WOT), but just a relay where I have a lot of overlap in interactions, and I'll get invited because my content is appreciated and trusted to not be toxic.

👆 Most likely possibility right there

Completely untapped there right now, trying to maintain a town square - but town squares don't have 1000s of participants with nothing in common.

Now, if we have hundreds relays, some more popular than others, some centered around a theme or location.

Users have personal curation feeds for "i dont care for their notes at this frequency, but they're welcome to say what they want" to "i don't want you swimming in my pond" and sending a report to the relay operators (WOT for example)

Relay operators should be able to get reports and other info from their users in whatever resolution is useful on who are good faith players on their relay.

Having those tunable knobs is how we solve the spam and toxicity issue.

If the community cares to have one, perchance? 😂

Not too sure. I think if we move to a perspective of relay-as-community where both users and relay owners can communicate content that they want more or less of, there might not be such a need for influencers

I gotchyu 👍
