Oh nice idea. How do you start to get on?
Make it to the status page - through the homepage, and chat with me - and I'll add you to my TrustChain.
I can't see a status page. Do you mean invites page?

Okay, so I got an internal server error when I tried to check my status with my codes.
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 all signups from HN to my TrustChain, so you should already be a trusted account.

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.

#17Founder 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 takes a hit. This is the opposite of how most platforms handle moderation. They ban accounts. We damage lineage.
The goal was to make accountability and anonymity coexist. Identity verification doesn't produce accountability, social consequence does. You know this if you've ever had a friend vouch for someone who then embarrassed them.
TrustRank isn't content moderation. It's measuring humanity. Your posts, comments, votes, even small actions like adding a username or thanking your inviter, these are all signals. We're not moderating what you say. We're moderating whether you're human.
The motto is 'Just Be Human.' Which also means act like you would if you were in the same room with someone.
No AI-generated discourse. Humans comment and vote. AI can generate content a human chooses to post, but the conversation layer is human-only by design.
Happy to get into TrustScore mechanics, the invite reward model, or why this is structurally different from Lobsters.

#19Odd, I got right in. I think it was maybe 5 seconds, didn’t have to do anything. Curious if that’s a bug or if there’s some automated trust or something. Cool concept though, echoes of GPG web of trust days.

That was just a coincidence of me checking - yes me personally - a human - the queue of new pre-invite users just around the exact time you got through the sign up. Welcome aboard!! Glad to have you.
