TLS certificates should use a web-of-trust model instead of a certificate authority one.

@Hyolobrika Hmm, would a web of trust work without user setup? I would guess no, and with that i think it is not feasible under the current circumstances. Would be great i think, but would need a lot more change than the technological part.

Yeah, it would require a change in culture. But also there could still optionally be equivalents of CAs for lazy people and the interim period.

@Hyolobrika Hmm, that would mean that the trust problem remains the same at the beginning, change would then be possible, but limited by other change happening first.

Feels like preparing something that can only work when the big problem is solved first... you know, procrastination?
