Yeah, I hadn't ever heard of Profilestr.com until you mentioned it. Looks like they aren't using web-of-trust to generate those "trust" scores at all. Rather it is being based on metrics that are pretty easy to game, such as profile completeness, account age, social activity, and economic activity. So, while a known fake account I found has a "trust" score on Profilestr of 67 (Blue indicator rather than green which appears to be "best"), it has a Web-of-Trust score of 0 for me on Coracle.social, which is a clear indicator to me that this is a fake npub. Speaking of which... @Marakesh 𓅦 , it looks like you are following a fake Hodlbod. This one is not real: @npub1nyrf...lzp9
Exactly 💯. I had in the beginning someone to be pointing out his trust score on profilestr as a proof of trust. In the beginning I didnt use nostr well. Not knowing I was spamming with long hashtags after a lot of people muted me due to that I got some fishy people around me and their head to advise me. He was pointing that he can be trusted and proof is Profilestr. And that is where I should look at. Me working in casinos for a good part of my life I called it bullshit on 1st.
My npub is not fake. I write my own notes every once in a while, but I usually reply to other people's notes. I have a score of 0 in WoT according to coracle.social .
