Uptrennd is what every social media website would be like when you don't have some sort of policing, traditional sites do it through algorithms pushing that garbage to the bottom, there they do it through curation and downvoting. I think Uptrennd will need to go the algorithmic route to guide behaviour in a more constructive manner or they're going to kill the platform before it started, they so concerned with "getting users" and not improving the experience which will "get users" to come and stay overtime
I agree these platforms are all what you make of them, I avoid traditional social media it's all mouthpiece blurting out "things I've heard" or "headlines I've read" that's not a conversation that's just syndicating someone else's opinion
