#asknostr Which signal do you think is better for determining a web-of-trust?
1: Accounts THEY follow (Follows-of-Follows)
2: Accounts THEY upvote/like (Upvoted-by-Follows)
2 is easier to calculate and new npubs will have an easier time to get into the web-of-trust, as getting an upvote is easier than getting a follow. But I haven't seen it implemented anywhere.
