Trust score
What your trust score measures, what it changes, and how to raise it.
Your trust score measures how carefully you read posts before deciding on them. It’s a number from 0 to 100, shown on your profile and in Stats.
What it changes
Trust decides how far your forwards travel:
| Score | Band | Each forward reaches |
|---|---|---|
| 0–34 | narrower reach | 2 people |
| 35–69 | normal reach | 3 people |
| 70–100 | wider reach | 4 people |
Trust doesn’t change how far your own posts get when you publish them. You paid for that reach with tokens, and it’s the same for everyone.
Where it starts
Every account starts at 50, in the middle of the normal band. We don’t know anything about you yet, and not knowing counts neither for nor against you.
What goes into it
- Attention checks. The biggest factor. Following the instruction in a check correctly raises your score; getting it wrong lowers it.
- How much you review. Reviewing regularly helps, up to a point. Volume alone can’t get you into the top band.
- How you review. Deciding in a split second, or forwarding almost everything, suggests you aren’t really reading. That caps how high your score can go.
Dropping a lot is fine. If the posts in your feed aren’t worth passing on, dropping them is exactly right.
Only the last 30 days count
Your score is calculated from the last 30 days only. A bad week is forgotten after a month, so you can always improve. It works the other way as well: a good score doesn’t last on its own.
Raising your score
Read the posts before you decide, and pay attention to the attention checks. That’s all. There’s no quota, and no trick that beats reading carefully.
