Which address is the real one?

All three at the top are published addresses for the same platform, and none of them prove anything by appearing here. See the claim that a working link is a genuine one.

Why is there no uptime figure on this site?

Because it measures nothing. A number this site cannot back would be worse than no number, and the figures other sites publish almost always measure reachability, which a convincing fake also passes.

Who decides these verdicts?

One editor, with the reasoning printed on every page so you can disagree with it. Where a claim cannot be settled, the page says so rather than picking the more interesting answer.

What people say about We The North

Most writing about this platform is a list of assertions nobody checks. This site takes them one at a time, gives each a plain verdict, and shows the reasoning. Some claims hold up. Several are half true in a way that gets people hurt. A few cannot be settled by anyone, and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The four verdicts

Every claim gets exactly one of these. The vocabulary is small on purpose, because a scale with ten values invites hedging.

Holds up: The claim survives examination as normally stated. Rare, and worth noticing when it happens.
Partly true: True in some narrow sense and misleading as people actually use it. This is the largest category and the most dangerous, because a half truth carries the confidence of a whole one.
Not true: Does not survive examination. Usually repeated because it was true once, or because it sounds like it should be.
Cannot be settled: No evidence available to anyone outside the platform can decide it. Not a dodge. Some questions genuinely have no reachable answer, and pretending otherwise is how rumours get treated as findings.

What to watch forThe most common failure in this subject is not believing something false. It is believing something partly true and acting as though it were fully true. Half the register is in that category.

What this site does not cover

Nothing about products, sourcing, packaging or avoiding detection. Those are not gaps to be filled in later, they are outside what this site is for, and requests for them will not be answered anywhere on it.

It also carries no advertising, takes no money from any market and has no affiliate arrangement. Worth stating plainly, because the usual business model for a site covering this ground is to be paid by the thing it covers, and readers cannot tell from outside which sites are.
