Do you think WoT can be determined by algos (like this) alone … where “is_trusted” is ONLY IMPLICITLY derived from user inputs (follow, mute, kind0 data, ect…) ?
OR do you think “is trusted” should ALSO BE AN EXPLICIT option for end users?
I ask because (I see) WoT to be so damn important for nostr to scale (without central moderation) beyond the coming flood of bots and bad actors.
I think end users would want (to be able to have… depending on their client settings) to have the last word on whether a followed account “is trusted” or not.
Thoughts?

@hodlbod 💜 may be interested to chime in…
Primarily implicit, but things like "I trust this person to curate this kind of content for me" could be useful to add additional weighting to WoT calculation. But it has to be something people will bother to maintain.
