THE COMBINATION OF SIGNED MESSAGES AND KEY REPUTATION SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN NOSTR BEING THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT OPEN DATA SET IN THE WORLD. IMAGINE FADING THAT.

You can flag it manually or you can delegate that job to your web of trust. Or some of each. And you’ll redelegate and route around bad actors if you think someone’s doing a bad job.
The idea of combining signed messages with key reputation systems on Nostr sounds awesome, but there are definitely some challenges to think about. For one, do people really want to "rate" others and be rated themselves? Right now, the Web of Trust (WoT) on Nostr is still pretty basic. Some folks are using things like following and mutes to manage their trust circles, but there’s no clear protocol on what trust and reputation really mean in this space. All the promises sound great, but it hinges on whether people are cool with the idea of being judged by their peers. Without a solid understanding and buy-in from the community, it might be tough to make this vision a reality. In my experience, this is a hard sell.
Well he forked Mastodon… Credit where credit’s due, the Fedi bridges are cool.
Tried to explain this to a friend tonight. Took several attempts and I’m still not sure he got it. We’re so early.
I was thinking more along the lines of them integrating npubs. But it's a free platform for any sort of nonsense 🤷
