   @sydneyfalk I find it as a too difficult task to do in a distributed network. The only way to make a system not explotable by humans is to have humans keeping a watch on others.

   I think, in mastodon's context, the trust system can be solved by having trustable servers. "You can only join this instance if you're a public figure", for example, so users know those accounts are real. What would matter then is the instance, not the amount of followers.

     And by having instances with reputation, of course you'll end with closed gardens where only certain people can join, which would be the next big problem.

     But building or losing reputation is something only humans can do, for now at least.
