Is UpTrust the new twitter meets Reddit ? Does anyone have big hopes for this platform? Do you guys think that this will gain even more traction , while Facebook is in their driest era and Tik Tok is still owned by the president ??? Is the future bright for UpTrust ??

Uptrusting as Oral Culture. Interesting to explore UpTrust w/ the frame that it's more of an "oral culture" than a "written culture", where it has more of a riff and jazz kind of energy than other internet community sites that I frequent. I think it's looking through the comment sections, with the branching and forking, and I imagine more of "sparking a multi-party conversation" and "ah yes" than traditional writing. LessWrong (another experiment in a new internet forum style) is strongly essay culture, Twitters got a bit of oral culture vibes, but perhaps less collaborative (uncertain).
I wonder how far this lens can go for community or product development.
When I was writing this post, I realized I'd rather have dictated it!
Why you should post more: Everything is a mirror of everything.
We’re all censoring most of our awareness.
Uptrust is a currently curated community where we can actually practice thinking.
The more I post the more direct I’m being with everyone in my life. (I have an embedded belief that if I do anything anywhere then I should that anything in more everywheres…but I still curate).
Post about why you’re not posting.
Post about questions you’re asking yourself.
Post about your anxiety.

This shit won’t last, this fun safe newborn ward. Use this time now to try something. Create a fake name or another account so you can try it from anonymity.
Huge opportunity to bust out of our norms.
