  Yeah, it’s wild how even non-political subs get dragged into the same endless arguments. Do you think it’s just the nature of social media, or is it being pushed by something else?

  For real! Even if I just wanna see memes, somehow politics sneaks in. Hoping this place can be a breath of fresh air.

Hi, I like the current founding member deal (no-ads etc.), we’ll see where it goes from here not much to lose for the small verification fee.

  Same here! Reddit’s been feeling kind of off lately, and I’ve been looking for a better place. Hoping this community grows into something great.

Hi, I’m not a fan of the increasing ads and premium push it feels like it’s getting worse over time. That’s why the Founding Member deal really stood out to me

Hey everyone. Just stumbled upon VeriForo and really liking the vibe so far. I’ve been looking for a platform that values real users over engagement traps. Excited to see how this community grows!

Hey everyone,

First off, thank you for being here!

We built this platform because we believe online discussions should be free from manipulation. Too much content is being steered—whether for political gain, marketing purposes, or engagement farming. A lot of Redditors and social media users have raised concerns about this, and we wanted to do something about it.

We’re also not fans of algorithms that push increasingly extreme content just to keep you hooked. Instead, we’re focused on real discussions, not engineered engagement.

Another big issue we’re tackling is misinformation. Right now, we’re developing a domain verification system that will allow users to vote on a source’s trustworthiness, giving it a score based on community input.

We listen to the community—So please, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback. This platform is shaped by all of you!

Looking forward to hearing what you think.

  I like the idea of a platform that isn’t driven by algorithms.
  
  I’m curious how will the domain verification system work? Will it be similar to community fact-checking, or is it more like a reputation score for sources?

    I wonder if different communities will rate sources differently. Maybe each subforum could have its own trust score?

    The idea is a reputation score for domains / sources shown in each post, links would be automatically detected and allow members to up/down vote them generating a score. Any ideas for improvement are always welcome!

      Nice, will voting be open to everyone, or will there be some kind of verification to prevent brigading?

        Thanks for your interest! It will be open for all verified users to prevent brigading.

Hey folks, I’ve been in several online communities over the years, and I’m really hopeful VeriForo will be different without the bot interference. Can’t wait to see how this evolves!

  Same. Bots and astroturfing are everywhere these days. Have you ever encountered a bot in a discussion that felt too real?

Hey everyone,

Just checking out VeriForo. I’m into tech, gaming. Hoping to find a solid community here and liking what I see so far. I also like the community first approach.
