I've been thinking a lot about Relays, Web of Trust, and how to fight spam while still keeping nostr open. I'm not a very confident programmer, but I'm going to try and have a proof of concept relay up soon with some built-in spam detection.
Web of Trust is an interesting concept, but I don't like the way it currently works with, for instance, in my relay, my public key being the authority on Web of Trust. I don't really think I should be an authority on anything, especially in a public facing a relay.
I'll try and expand on this as I get the idea more fleshed out.
