If there is a certainty in 2025, this is: anger -clicking. Exaggeration, hate, arrogant scam – all of them equal for the course – and often rewarded with virality.
However, Sez Us, a newly initiated application by Senior Democratic Strategist Joe Trippi, believes that it is possible to change it by punishing shitty users for provocation.
Timing may be correct. America enters a age of oligarchy that has increased with the wave of right -wing extremes that seize global politics. Platforms such as Truth Social and X are now working as effective propaganda machines, and President Trump is working as a really old version of Migration, DEI and Trans Rights in the United States’s new vision as Boogaymen. As the next social media period emerges, the developing platforms have the opportunity to rise. Can the Sez, who positions himself as an antithesis to x, can facilitate a better way forward?
“If you bring responsibility, property and reputation, all the incentives we have in the real world have returned, Sez says Yevgeny Simkin, the founding and chief product manager of the United States.
Even if the online discourse has entered a rabies show, platforms like Bluesky showed that it was an appetite for a more civilian speech. Instead of increasing any publication that receives anger clicks, Sez us uses what its creators call the “reputation engine ,, which allows you to evaluate the publications of another user’s publications on the platform in five key areas: approval, impact, insight, relevance and courtesy.
In practice, ratings determine the reputation score and general visibility of a user. The higher the score, the more access in the community. Users can also check who responds to a person’s score by punishing less users with less impact. All publications are visible, but you can prevent users from responding, for example, if they do not have high approval ratings. Ultimately, ratings are designed to doubt viral moment -based interaction.
“This is not about saying ‘bad’ of the incoming moderators, Sim says Simkin. “We don’t like what the community says ‘we say’. Then I know how I say something.
In the excellent social media race, when it comes to moderation, there was never a solution to one body for those who still deal with it. As the user base of a platform grows, the scale can make this task even more difficult. For Simkin and his team, the idea was to create a platform that would “emphasize all the ways of social media, not as social media, but to emphasize all the ways of social media to work. “Camel back was broken with Elon’s pipette [Musk] Buy Twitter ”and suddenly a whole new world seemed possible.
Since the breaking of Twitter has been re -branded in X, it has launched a arms race among technicians with all kinds of ideas about the next stage of social media and how to identify. During this period, the concept of the US was born in 2022, based on the supreme goal of bringing the civilian discourse back.
