The biggest opportunity for Truth Social - Trump's new platform - is one least well understood: authentication and reputation. It can sweep the table of bots and PSYOP warriors from social media
This is an excellent article. It outlines the potential for the TS to embrace the technology (already in place) to remedy the pervasiveness of fake news & social manipulation through disinformation - GREAT JOB, CC! On paper, the undertaking - through the established repository - appears trivial. The problem is: will the TS take on it? If so, where on the roadmap would it be?
Also, I wonder how related to that, if at all, is Elon Musk's tweet about creating a site where the public would "rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication", tweeted on 5/23/18…
Wow. Just wow. I learned so much here. Thank you CC. But what if the warehouse of keys that you propose Truth Social keep gets hacked or stolen or blown up or whatever? Wouldn't it be too vulnerable? Maybe I don't understand the tech enough, but if it is bulletproof (as much as anything can be) then I look forward to this new platform of free speech. We so need it.
Very interesting, thx, I learned some things. But I'm still confused how this solves the troll problem. Trolls can sign their content, correct? So how does a filter which requires signatures keep out the trolls?
I can see how the reputation system reduces trolling, but it sounds like you're saying the signature requirement by itself eliminates trolls. I think I missed something somewhere.
I plugged this complicated, complex piece into the hemingway editor at hemingwayapp.com and it is written at the 14th grade level, that is much too high. Over half the sentences are scored hard or very hard to read. The app doesn't cost anything if used online, but it'll be a challenge to write clearly and concisely at a 7 to 8 grade level. But doing so reaches a much larger audience who'll stay with you page by page. The really big writers/audiences usually clock in at the 5-6 grade level. tnx.
This sounds like an awesome system. I wonder if Truth Social has even given any thought to all this. I've pretty much left FB & Twitter and the others behind, in favor of Substack, because I am so sick and tired of reading obvious troll/bot comments.

I love this hope I can get in and save money from gov. Hands
so is Truth Social going to use SubStack? Do you know or are you involved with them?
