Am I alone in thinking that the Web of Trust idea isn't actually that useful? There's four accounts here that know me IRL, and others have been interacting with me for nearly three years. Can we not calculate a true web of trust in our own heads?

Ive noticed that it kind of ossified the people you see and its basically impossible for a new person to be seen by anyone using WoT.
I'm sorry Matt, we had a good run.
Exactly
I am still unclear what it is for. Trust is not something you can calculate. Someone can easily rick all the metrics and you cannot still trust them. Trust takes time and discernment. I am also yet to understand on "what metrics" and who agrees to it? If anyone creates whatever then does that negate the purpose of it? I know little bout it and I'd be keen to know more. However, the hype that I am seeing on my feed is that: it is the next thing to avoid scam/spam. But isn't the buttons to block/mute/report people enough? At least it works for me. We cannot avoid bots anyway unless you introduce captcha. I am only thinking out loud. ☺️🫂 But hey, what do I know lol 🤣
excuse the typo. I meant anyone could tick all the metrics but still you cannot trust them. They could be wolf dress like a sheep. 😂☺️
eh but we've been talking about it for almost two years, web of not spam
