Perhaps something where you can build a graph of who invited whom so you could prune entire sections that act maliciously. One might even consider it a to be a web of connections which are built on (or torn down by the loss of) trust.
Sounds futuristic. Maybe it's an NFT on an agentic blockchain for deep-sea solar farm mining?
- lobf 5mo agoPrivate torrent trackers apparently do this, and have done so for years.
- perching_aix 5mo agoThey're sarcastically describing web-of-trust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust Why are they doing that (i.e. being sarcastic)? Who knows.
- Groxx 5mo agoBecause it's by far the dominant strategy for distributed trust-ranking systems out there, with decades of research around it. Might as well look at the forest when realizing that it'd be nice if trees existed. And I don't think anyone actually trusts any major actor to verify anything, so a fully centralized system is likely out. Otherwise people would be hype about WorldCoin, instead of recognizing it for the stupendously malicious grift that it is.

- perching_aix 5mo agoYeah, and what I'm saying is that I think they pretty blatantly were.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5mo agoYou sound like a terrible person to be around.
- AlexeyBelov 5mo agoHow would you even know that?
- hsbauauvhabzb 5mo agoYour condescending replies make you unlikable. I wouldn’t want to be around you and doubt others would either.
- AlexeyBelov 5mo agoI'm not the original user you were talking with. I just think you're just saying things to be upsetting to that user, with no basis in reality.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5mo agoI didn’t realize, but I’m fairly certain my position has a fairly factual basis. And shitty comments get even shittier replies.
