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.
