Platform feedback

Immediate feedback after having used Uptrust:

Commenting was way easier than up/down trusting – I will admit that I never understood the whole reaction thing in social media, so maybe this discrepancy is more about me than the platform
Following the threads was murderously hard. Manually refreshing the All Content page, scrolling up and down trying to figure out what posts went with what thread – I could barely do that and keep up with the debate. This might not be a problem if Uptrust isn’t used in a live tweeting type situation, but major improvements will need to be made if it’s supposed to support that use case.
Even though I didn’t do much up/down trusting, there was still a context of being in a situation where my posts and comments could be scrutinized that way, which I noticed did have an impact on my content, for the better. I was more careful with my factual claims, and more willing to fact check others.
