In the very first episode of Say WoT? by @Plebchain Radio ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ , I went "there" with my three guests, @Derek Ross, @Vitor Pamplona, and @david "There" in this case was, "are WoT scores the same as social credit scores?" The answer, was a resounding no: the key difference is user-chosen providers + user-specific perspective, is NOT a single global, centralized rating. We also unpacked Amethyst's new update that includes NIP-85 trusted assertions as a delivery mechanism for user-directed scores, how WoT spam/ scam suppression leads to a better UX, and how contextual WoT will turbocharge content curation and discovery on nostr.

Yeah I heard some of this, and really enjoyed it... I've never quite understood the "social credit score" argument... That's one of those things that's bad if governments do it, but basically OK for private sector actors. Like censorship, in the context of "Mutes."
