In the context of decentralized technology there is a lot of gaps to bridge, as they are all context-specific
What we lack on Nostr is effective consensus mechanisms. When we can achieve decentralized consensus, we can achieve everything else.
The foundation of a Web of Trust is lists. Lists are the building block. On Nostr, this is NIP-51, which is why we now have sets of lists, kind 30000.
Even a few hours ago Pablo and Fiatjaf were considering wiki relay list management with yet another NIP-51 kind, and Pablo noted how NIP-51 could become bloated, assuming I interpreted their conversation correctly. I believe this trend will continue until NIP-51 lists become the foundation of the protocol. Sets of lists was an important step.
The rest isn't easy, but it will be rewarding.

quoting nevent1q…947aYeah, certainly we can just use hard odds kind numbers like we have for NIP-50, I just wonder if we are not going to end up with a bunch of this and slow down adding new kind-specific NIP-51s
But now that I think about it again maybe this is early optimization.
Let’s choose a wiki-relay list kind number and I’ll add support for it on wikifreedia
The rest isn't easy, but it will be rewarding.
