    I post real content from my own account to seed the feed. That's fair game. What I won't do is simulate fake discourse, fake comments, fake conversations, and fake personas. That's…

    Long, long, long term, if I get really lucky, your TrustChain becomes portable proof of your human-ness. Any site that integrates with us could verify you're a real accountable hum…

    Founder here. The core mechanic: every invite creates a lineage edge. When you invite someone, their trust signals propagate back up the chain. If they behave badly, your TrustRank…

    Found some janky stuff to do with old versions of the cold start up flow from before I settled on the way it works now. Should be fixed now. Thank you so much for testing it.

    Hmm... checking the logs to see what happened. But you should be able to go to the https://chirpper.com/login page, drop your "key" and be taken to your profile. I've already added…

    Make it to the status page - through the homepage, and chat with me - and I'll add you to my TrustChain.

    Yes, exactly. I'm most excited that the concept was understood at all. So cool. Thank you.

    If you go through the homepage, and create a pre-invite account (which is like two button clicks or so) you'll end up on a status page. This is the cold - no invite path. Where I'l…

    Show HN: Social network where inviting someone makes you accountable for them

    Chirpper is invite-only. When you vouch someone in, they join your TrustChain. Their behavior affects your TrustRank, and that propagates up the lineage. No moderators. The account…

    Okay? I mean, if you say so. All I hear from those companies is how much we need more bots, but I don't use Microsoft - anything - so maybe we just have different worlds :)

    Honestly you might be the exact person this is built for. You've clearly already mentally checked out of the existing platforms. "The only way to win is not to play" says it all. I…

    Well you definitely understand it at least. But here's the rebuttal... The same logic applies to hiring someone, or vouching for a colleague, friction creates care. You only invite…
