Yep! Ideally there would be some getTrustedPeers endpoint that would allow you to transitively discover interesting users 2 hops away. Add them and they become 1-hop and could get their trust list, rinse and repeat to traverse the trust network. Because users are 'liable' for content they rebroadcast (if you repeatedly propogate downvoted content, your trust score will fall), there is a strong incentive to "moderate" the content you promote. This allows not only the OP to gain karma/trust from a post, but also adjacent peers can earn trust by reliably upcoming content that is later upvoted downstream. Hopefully this would encourage "tastemaker" users who don't create new stuff, but carefully curate what they rebroadcast. Trusting the right users allows you to rebroadcast their trusted content automatically, if you chose to configure your trust algo that way.
