Big Update — TrustHub Is Now Open to Everyone (and Google Can Find Us)

We just rolled out two major changes to how TrustHub works.

**Anyone can sign up now.** You no longer need to verify your ID just to browse. Sign up with an email, follow people, join hubs, and curate your feed. When you're ready to post, comment, or vote — that's when we ask you to verify. It takes about 30 seconds.

The idea is simple: let people see what TrustHub is about before asking them to commit. Lower the barrier to entry, keep the barrier to participation exactly where it is.

**Everything is publicly discoverable now.** Hub posts, profiles, and discussions are all visible to anyone — including search engines. If someone Googles a topic we've discussed here, they can land directly on the post. You don't need an account to read, just to participate.

This means every post you write is building your public, verified presence. Your profile aggregates everything you've posted across every hub. It's your content, tied to your real verified identity.

A few other things we shipped alongside this: image uploads in posts (up to 3 per post, auto-compressed), inline image placement with copy-paste tags, share buttons on every post, anti-spam protections, and an NSFW image scanner to keep things clean.

More coming soon. If you run into anything weird, drop a comment.
