A visual demonstration of a Nostr Web of Trust (WoT) system.
Assume you're already logged in on a nostr client, and you're setting up your WoT filter.
All of these posts are published notes from people you don't follow, but a number of who you follow have either followed them, not followed them, or muted/blocked them.
Based on how you've set up your WoT filter, it would or wouldn't show posts. Hopefully this helps explain WoT on Nostr.
What's highlighted is what you'll see in your feed. What's not is what you won't see.

The following is you modifying how far you want to extend your trust to.
In the above, you're seeing posts of people who are being followed by someone you're following (if set at 1 or more).
Here, if you set it to 1 for example, you'll see posts of the person who's being followed by the previous person you've set yourself to see in the above set setting.
(Assume the below posts/people below are not muted/blocked by anyone you follow)
(Assume that the people below are not constrained by the first WoT filter directly)
