Whenever someone points out that follows does not equal trust, reach for this article. TL/dr: For any question of interest, WoT should use any and every piece of data that is available and relevant to the question at hand. Should we use follows? Yes. Should we use explicit, unambiguous "trust" events? Yes. It's not either-or; it's both-and. View Article →

This is why I like to use the term WOA or web of access, for relays. The term could be changed based on what you use 'the web' for .. But, I guess it's our own fault for using a common name, and the name is stuck with the word 'trust' in it now. Because it has a nice abbreviation. Still down to use different names though! What are some other mainstream uses for 'the web of' ? 🤔 It does seem clear that the one thing we won't do is use it to 'trust' things, because nobody trusts anything 😅
