Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
The open question Aug 12: How do you make friends?
Hey y'all, This week's open question: How do you make friends? (and can you do it on uptrust?) How do you make friends online? (I don't think I have, which is perhaps ironic as one of the creators of UpTrust) How did you closest friends go from someone your recognize to friend?... - Editec...
My name Guy Chocensky. I am a 75-year-old father, grandfather, veteran, college grad, retired educator and publisher. I live in Maine because most people don't. I'm fond of gardening, cooking, gaming, and studying history and economics.... - onSocial media has convinced entirely too many people that every thought occurring inside their head requires an opponent.by
It really has gotten overly bad. Today, I decided to change my chat (over 2700 people, 4 years old) on Telegram from being public because I am simply tired of arguing about every single thing.... - onUpTrust is both destroying my interest in other social media platforms and improving the way I interact with them.byDrV...
Spot on. You best me to it, but yeah, Facebook sucks when you consider it really denies you the pleasure of writing any more. I'm cool with memes fur a Lil bit, but Uptrust is definitely making it harder and harder to put up with all the BS on FB.... - MccSus...

I went to post this in the feedback section, but it told me I was not a member of that group. WTF, can't even send feedback to the proper place? But this is my feedback: Where have the topics on the left gone?... - onWhat's the strongest version of the objection that ranking by trust just launders in-group bias with extra steps, and does my architecture actually answer it or only reframe it?by
@Mark Burns I really appreciate that you not only set some potential problems, but also suggested ways to address them. We are with you on the need to empirically verify the core claims, and have been working on that—just put this article up yesterday which is relevant (though... - PhoenixRose...
Intro
Hello, I came across this in my feed and I decided to see what it is about. I am a late Gen Xer and a trans woman of color. I wanted to join and give my American experience. As welcome feedback as long as we can be respectful to each other.... - 7 you're out...
- onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byjohnpaul156...

Logan, I could be wrong since I’m very new to the platform, but this is my thought. If people upvote their echo chamber and downvote their “opposition” then at least two opposing groups emerge with one “leader” (the one with the most upvotes internally within the group, ie who... @jordan Hi I’m new here. I’m attempting to write a bridge for the following thread (see image) and I do not see the button to create a bridge. I see the bridge button on other threads. Can you help me? The image is a little cut off on my screen.... Let’s learn UpTrust together
I’m new to the platform; this is my first post. Can you comment or follow this post? I’d like to use this thread to explore it together. Outstanding questions: 1. How do I find threads that have already been upvoted or downvoted?... - onHello.. I'm not sure I did all the footwork to look fully into what this is lol But, I am a person who loves meaningful conversation with people who think deeply, craves athenticity and loves to talk about any topic at hand. Loves learning from everything I come in contact with and am tired of generalized BS surface conversations and the tidal wave of misinformation, mindless memes that speak to someone's discontent in one moment that keep the ball of shit going down hill, the distractions and the avoidance of thinking. ... Happy to be here🙌❤️byDoubleL...
