So, "what am I doing when I get a new key from someone and check the signatures to see if there are any people in common" depends heavily on what you mean by "check the signatures" and "people in common". If you mean "trace through signature-chains with no #trust #metrics to find *reachable* signatures", then no you're not using #WoT verification, you're making your own inferences based on something else.

That #PGP's #WoT metrics (supposedly) propagate through signature-chains is somehow basically an extremely popular #myth; "talks about WoT being all about arbitrarily-long multi-hop chains of trust" and "conflates #trust and #identity #certification" have been "understands-pgp-p" litmus tests for me since I realized how confused *I was myself* years ago, and they've never failed before.

As the #GnuPG manual says, bundling #trust into #keysigning "is generally only useful in distinct communities or groups": https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/OpenPGP-Key-Management.html

@lnxw48, I'd much rather people who #trust me #verify that they're actually getting a file _from me_ than from "the right domain".

I think people should be a lot #paranoid and not base #trust of data-transfers on whether the endpoints appear to have good #DNS names.

I wonder whether #captchas actually scale better than #invitation systems and/or #trust metrics....
