The primary goal of our upcoming #wotathon is to establish an ecosystem of Service Providers for personalized trust metrics, as described in the article below. As a user, I don’t want to see one Trust Score for Alice on Primal, another one on Amethyst, and another one on each new client I visit. I want to see the same personalized metrics on EVERY client I visit. Which means the clients will not be the ones calculating them (for the most part).
What will Primal do once nostr moves in this direction? My hope, and my expectation, is that Primal will either incorporate personalized trust metrics calculated outside of Primal, or will make their own internal service provider which makes personalized metrics available everywhere, internally but also *outside* Primal. In other words, they’d make their own competitor to other Service Providers. They already keep track of lots of data so building a standalone Primal Personalized Trust Metric Service should be doable — just gotta decide what metrics to calculate.
One of the effects of Service Providers is going to be to take power out of the hands of clients. It is valid to be concerned that Primal is on the road to becoming just another Twitter, but the rise of Personalized Trust Service Providers may be how we prevent this from happening.
