UpTrust is a social network built on trust instead of outrage. Find people and sources worth trusting, talk across political and personal divides, and join group discussions that stay civil. Most social media ranks posts by whatever provokes the most reactions. UpTrust ranks them by the people you actually trust, topic by topic, so your feed reflects judgment instead of virality. FIND PEOPLE AND SOURCES YOU CAN TRUST • Uptrust or Downtrust people topic by topic from the Trust tab. Someone can be your go-to on science and not on politics. • Vouch for the people whose judgment you trust. That trust powers everyone's feed. • See the trust tags on any post, and add or vote on tags yourself. DISCUSS ACROSS DIVIDES • Discover posts that bridge disagreement: content that earns respect from people with different viewpoints, instead of rewarding pile-ons. • Long-press a passage in a post to vote on exactly the part you agree or disagree with. • Threaded comments stay readable, with a full-screen editor for longer replies. GROUP DISCUSSION AND CHAT • Join groups and their channels for ongoing conversation with your community. • Direct messages update live. • Events come with their own discussion wall. • Ask AI for context right inside a thread.
