    But how would I, an external instance, know your true reputation? Would I need to ask your home instance and just trust that? So when I ask “what level of trust should I put in this user”, a malicious instance could just say “a million reputation points” and I just need to trust that? I don’t see how this is going to work.

      Yeah that’s fair, but without some form of centralization I don’t see how you establish trust. Unless you have every instance scan every users history but that would be pretty inefficient
