Clear Names. I wonder whether a social media platform based on trust should encourage clear names for its users.
I wouldn't want them enforced (there are legitimate reasons for pseudonyms, like living in a country with questionable free speech practices), but should we assign trust points to those who use their real names?
privacy
I understand. But wouldn't you say it would be honorable if someone stood by their name when they talk about something? Privacy is great, but when I say something to a community, don't I give up my right to privacy for that specific utterance in that specific community?... Clear Names.

I don't use my real name because I am running from a violent ex. A social media page is an extension of your home. imhop. Therefore I don't think I should be punished for protecting me and mine.... Metamodern Love . I am at the airport passing into the US to hold the Fall Metamodern Spirituality Lab (on Love) at Sky Meadow in Vermont. My hunch is that a lot of what a platform like this one should do is exchange what we're doing, where we are, who we're with, etc. and not just our ideas and responses to things. So here's a nod in that direction.

I trust the people I am with not to do that, and it would be breaching trust if they did.... If I were King of the World
If I were King of the World and could change one thing (These are weird rules because a king obviously can change more than one thing, but I make the rules, so there.), I would Ban Advertisement with the Exception of Word of Mouth.... How does UpTrust handle inquiry? With only a few exceptions, it seems to me that the posting/commenting here tends toward making and responding to statements. Is there an implicit/explicit cultural value around making (controversial) statements on UpTrust?
Are questions more / less / equally as valuable as statements?
What makes questions trustworthy or untrustworthy?
What does it mean to

a post that’s mostly an inquiry?How could questions and inquiry become a sincere avenue for bridging silos?
i personally love this reflection, and I felt @blas was asking for more inquiry too. I’d love to see us bring more inquiries and test it out. I wonder, is there something that keeps us from asking questions or inquiring openly? Is it limited to UpTrust? Is it everywhere?...
