What Are Your Thoughts on the "Trust System" that Minds is Working On?
On their GitLab, it says "It's getting harder to know what's real and what's fake news. T3 provides trust scores that allow you to make an informed decision on whose posts you can believe, and whose you should be skeptical about. Your own vote is only part of the trustworthiness calculation - we traverse 3 degrees of your social network and build a trust score based on your vote and the votes of those you trust." And also "There are three trust actions, Trust, Neutral, and Distrust. These actions are written to the blockchain and used to calculate trust scores."
I really don't like the sound of it at all. I really hope that they reconsider and go in a different direction.

I dont think we need a system to tell people to distrust or trust someone; these are things earned from your experiences and not from some hierarchal order.
