    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...

    I miss the like button too. But I think I miss it because I’m used to clicking it after reading a post - a sort of acknowledgment that I read it. By not having it, it makes me respond more consciously. But still, sometimes I have nothing to say and just want to click Like....

    Important topic, Dara!  I'm in both camps. I have felt quite censored and attacked over the past ten years for some of my views. So I definitely censor myself now and participate in conversations on-line a lot less. I am sad about this....

    New here. No idea how this works yet. Just "tweeting" into the void. Or perhaps "trusting" into the void. : )

    Hey! I dont get the bots thingy on the side. Is this showing up as my response to you? (currently Aussie trolling) It gives a long commentary about the thread. Mostly wonder is this a commentary just for me or does it show up as a comment by me as well?...

    Reading this makes me feel less alone. Feel so frozen on posting anywhere anything real on social media. Being able to read your post and contemplate this here is amazingly helpful and healing.
