Yes. Our drive to be “social” is both the strength and weakness of human nature.
This is why we persist with WoT.
Leveraging the power of humans “trusting” other humans, while protecting the vulnerability that this “trust” exposes, is the ideal position for WoT on Nostr. This balance is not guaranteed, and will be hard work to maintain. However, even the worst outcome, given that Nostr remains a decentralizing force, will simply be that Nostr usage fizzles out for lack of “trustworthy” content.
So yea. That’s my optimistic take. WoT is the best tool we have for “moderation” AND for “recommendation” of notes and other stuff. And Nostr is ready (while we’re young and stupid) to give it a good try.
