- onI could really use some guidance on exactly how Uptrust works. From what I can tell...........well, I'm clueless. At first I was thinking that uptrusting something made it more popular, and so it functions like a "like" works, while downtrusting something does the opposite, .....but that seems very one dimensional and doesn't really lend to the credibility of what was said, just its popular agreement.....which is more often than not, based on something other than the argument put forth. People go with prejudgments, biases and loyalties, whether it supports a group they already identify with, whether the language is aesthetically pleasing to them or shocking, whether they already had that opinion....and more. To create a platform that filters out attention in favor of legitimacy it'd seem like a deeper dive into the specifics of what is trusted and what isn't about each post is needed. And it seems to me that either Uptrust is either doomed to keep variance out of it, as the experience of their product is one where odd voices can't break in, leading eventually to a kind of stagnancy, or I'm missing something pivotal about how it works.by
Hi Wayne! I hope this message finds you well. I’m new to the platform as well and I share your concerns and questions. I uptrusted you because I feel your post here is sincere and seeking to learn.... - onJust curious if there are other people feeling like they are dreaming? Feeling like they went to sleep one night and woke up some where they do not belong, like in the wrong place? I look around and my mind , my SOUL does not recognize where I'm at. I almost feel dazed, like I've some how hit my head, and everything in my line of sight is hazy, distorted, not normal. And if there are others, WHEN did these feelings begin? What triggered these feelings for you? bySassiebrat67...
