In the back of my mind I’d like to write a long form post on the thought process that everyone in nostr eventually walks down when considering the question: where does the trust signal come from? At first we think follows provides the best signal, then we change our minds and think the best signal should come from explicit trust attestations, then we realize the signal comes from lots of directions and we need to figure out how to interpret it no matter where the signal comes from. Which is much more tractable than it sounds.
