Seems to me webs of trust have a ton of potential on the fediverse.

The most important point about that is that you can prove using only
constants of social interaction that this structure can be scaled to
arbitrary size:

This gives an upper bound for propagating blocks and content discovery
at (on average) polling 15-30 users per minute — a value that should still
hold true at a user count in the billions.
