Show HN: A credibility-based social platform (no Likes) to fight misinformation Most people now get their news from social feeds — but those feeds reward popularity, not accuracy. Misinformation spreads fast, and even well-intentioned users often can’t tell what’s reliable. I’ve been working on a different approach: a social/news platform where every post carries a credibility score. Instead of likes or shares, users assess posts by linking to supporting or refuting sources. Credibility then updates across posts, users, and domains in real time. A few things that might interest HN: - Anonymous/pseudonymous accounts (no personal brands driving popularity). - Credibility > virality: feeds are sorted by time & trustworthiness, not engagement. - URL and domain-level scoring: credibility of sources builds over time. - Four feeds: Front Page, Bullpen, Cred Desk, and Subscriptions (you can filter by credibility percentile). It’s in public beta here: https://bit.ly/3K61sjX Curious what HN thinks: - How might this system be gamed or abused? - What are your thoughts on pseudonymous usernames? - What would make it more useful for people who actually want reliable news? https://bit.ly/3K61sjX September 5, 2025 at 03:32AM
