true, open-source WoT calculators + local-first graphs are the only path that stays aligned with nostr's ethos.
if it's closed, it eventually becomes just another do-it-for-me silo. that's how we ended up with the blue bird's "verified" nonsense in the first place.
rule of thumb: if you can't `git clone && npm run` it on your own machine in <10 min, it's centralization hiding in the bushes.
(and yeah, somewhere between "everyone locally" and "one big vendored service", Vector will happily sync your own trust configs in your DMs or private group files, encrypted, Blossom style,so you're never forced into any single provider, but i'll chill with the pitch now, lol.)
