Every post and comment carries a small score badge. It's a quick read on how much the people you trust find this trustworthy, so you can spot the good stuff faster.
Reading the badge
The score shows as a short number. Green means the people you trust lean positive. Red means they lean negative. Gray means there's no clear signal yet, either because no one has voted or no one in your network has. A badge with a question mark and dashes means there's nothing to show for you yet.
The score is the sum of everyone's votes, weighted by how much you trust each voter. People you trust a lot move it a lot. Strangers you don't trust barely move it, or not at all.
Why yours differs from a friend's
Because the math uses your own trust, the same post can show one number for you and another for a friend. Neither is wrong. You each trust different people, so the votes count differently. Read How trust works for the idea behind this.
Tap any score badge to open Trust score details. It lists the voters who pushed the score up or down, with a bar showing how much you trust each one. If the post is a bridge, you'll also see a blue Bridge bonus line for content that's trusted across different circles.
