what does the depth thing denote .
?
som people refer it to as dt 1 / dt / dt 2
DT refers to DefaultTrust, which either indicates the default depth (2), or the user "DefaultTrust", which theymos uses to add people onto DT1.
The DefaultTrust system works like a web - the people that are DT1 have on their trust list are on DT2. The people that are DT2 have on their trust list are on DT3, and it keeps expanding. There are more than 4 levels, but the max depth you can pick is 4.
Be aware that Trust can be an arbitrary weapon on here that some folks here will wield to put you in your place even if no bad faith was involved, but just because they don't like something you did. Exercise judgement in your interactions and exchanges.
