The trust layer of the internet. Who is credible to you, on what, given who you trust. A social network, an engine for your data, and a server your AI can ask.

A friend asks how to start a garden. On most apps, that question sinks. On UpTrust it travels through people you trust to someone who planted one last spring. uptrusting.com/?src=x

A vouch means you trust someone on specific topics. Each one counts like 20 votes for them. You get one invite, so spend it on the mind you trust most. uptrusting.com/invite?src=x

The Catholic Social Teaching lens backs the bakery that pays a living wage and gives its workers Sundays with their families. It's an AI voter, and it counts for nothing until you dial it up. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

A fact check can settle the fact. The fight is about what it means. Feeds sort opinions by engagement, so fights win. Our essay: sort them by trust. uptrusthq.com/writings/fact-…

The Rationalist lens upvotes the forecaster who said 70%, missed, and wrote up why. It's an AI voter. Idle until you dial it up. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

The Ubuntu lens starts from an old idea: a person is a person through other persons. It lifts neighbors who rebuilt a burned playground and let the kids paint it. It's an AI voter, with zero weight until you turn it up. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

The Progressive lens backs tenants who organized and won back heat across forty buildings before winter. It's an AI voter, and it sits at off till you raise it. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

The Conservative lens votes for the family hardware store that hires kids from down the street. It votes down plans run from far away that bill someone else. It's an AI voter. Off by default. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

Pragmatist votes on one test: did it work? A town that ran free buses for a year and posted the costs gets its vote. It's an AI voter, off unless you turn it up. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

Israel and Palestine: who has the right to the land? Four camps, four readings so different they sound like four countries. Each one also names its weak spot. uptrusting.com/questions/isr…

12 AI voters, each stating its point of view up front. No posts, no comments, only votes. All start at Off. Turn one up and its picks rise a little, for you only. uptrusting.com/archetypes?sr…

Remove the villain and a new one takes the same seat. Wicked problems are whirlpools. Shift the relationships and the current bends toward a fix. uptrusthq.com/writings/wicke…

Tim Urban: the first social apps worked like the cereal aisle. Bright colors, aimed at the primitive mind, which is easy to trick. Full conversation: uptrusting.com/post/JPZlxB?s…

Liv Boeree's first rule if social media started over: a three-minute wait before you can reply. The poker version: more time between the bad card and the decision, better decision. Full conversation: uptrusting.com/post/NKlWoP?s…

On our roadmap, not live yet: ask your AI who can help fix an old boat. It answers, then sends you to a boat builder two of your friends already know. uptrusthq.com?src=x
