Was reading Gigi's 21 Lesssons and lesson 16 reminded me of a Web of Trust and how important it is. The reference was made that even open source code isn't entirely good enough. Bitcoiners don't like to trust anyone or anything aside from math and laws of physics, but there are still degrees and shades of trust involved.
We apply a web of trust score informally all the time. Online, when we see certain usernames we respect, boom, our subjective high WoT score kicks in and we read that note. Conversely, when a "who is that?" username offers a hot take, we likely move on. Same thing in real life; there are some people we trust and respect and listen to, and others we merely ignore. Back online, a somewhat standardized WoT score would help #nostr.
