Can someone make a good argument of how web of trust would work with bitchat? The way I think of web of trust is that you need to bootstrap it with well-known identities. What if you just want to talk to people around you in your village and you don't care about well-known nostr users?

I don't think that's what we're building. We want to talk to everyone in a location and people you don t know. There is no concept of following. You're thinking about a Twitter clone with feeds and follows etc.

Let's play it through: How would it work in your mind? You travel to SF and you want to know what's up on SF. You have 0 friends in SF.

Vice versa, you're in Tokyo. You want to ask all your neighbors where the best events are today. You don't know who's loving around you.
