Shaerd

I built Shaerd for two main reasons: 1 - The (mainly racial) abuse suffered by footballers in the UK at the moment is running unchecked on other platforms, even forcing some to leave places where they could engage with supporters. Shaerd is designed a in way to prevent users from creating "burner" accounts quickly and easily, specifically to abuse others, as well as sharing accountability between abusers and those that enable abuse. 2 - I'm an avid Twitter user, but often found myself drawn to "Trending Topics" that contained a lot of disinformation, aggressive arguing and other content that affects my mental state and often riles me up and makes me more likely to lash out virtually. I want Shaerd to be a place where quality content (curated by humans) is promoted to users, not divisive content aimed at boosting engagement, no matter the type.

This is a great product, Greg! I think that it solves a really big problem of social media and human communication overall. I have a question though: How would you prevent the effort of a group of people trying to boost each other's reputation and abuse this status later on?
