Show HN: Reality Check – Like, dislike, review, fact-check social media posts

2•AndreiBargan•2h ago
Install our Reality Check Chrome extension and you'll be able to:

- like/dislike any posts on major platforms, especially on X :) Likes are synced with the platform’s own ones.

- rate and comment on any site. It's like TrustPilot, but always there.

- become a reviewer/fact-checker and report fake news, AI-slop, scams, etc. on any post, so that users can see your short review right on this post — with a link to your site/channel for more details, giving you traffic. It’s like Community Notes on X, but better :)

- check authors’ credibility based on how many fakes or misleading posts they’ve published.

- comment even if the author has blocked comments on the post.

- later we’ll promote expert opinions in our comments so they don't drown in low-quality or toxic discussions.

This solves the problem of social networks being toxic and misleading, with tons of AI-slop and inflated social influencers because:

- they got rid of the dislike button — which leads to the spread of toxic content.

- even if you know that it's AI-slop, a scam post, deceptive, misleading, or fake news — you cannot share this signal with other users. Comments don’t work.

- if the post/video author blocks comments for provocative content — you simply cannot respond in any way.

Works for X, YouTube, Instagram, Bluesky, Truth Social, Threads, and more platforms to come…
