That’s the people I want to get updates from not the ones I trust. The ones I trust are not properly represented by my follows although there is an overlap. With that out of the way, I’m talking about Web of Trust used as a filter for content: it’s only great for users that have a established follower base, not great at all for an organic user who just joined who can’t get visibility into their posts. Ask any new user how great Web of Trust is: never mind you probably won’t see their answers if you have such filtering active.

@Vitor Pamplona, are you suggesting that users would NOT be able to customize their own WoT algos … to make zero use of follow lists? Webs of trust does not require follow lists … in the future tense.

It doesn't, but nostr requires follow lists or follow relays. Nostr is web of trust by design. There is no way to run Nostr without web of trust.

Having no follow list is the dream. Web of trust is the stairway to heaven 🌈

So I guess I would argue the situation in which your follow list doesn't have a strong connection to some notion of "trust" is probably a pretty minority user behavior. Because basically what you're saying then is I want to have an information feed full of people whose trust is questionable?
