Minds.com

As Twitter and Facebook push people away, Minds is my favorite platform concept. It's clean and smooth and not a ripoff of anything else. Unfortunately it's tough to find things to follow, or that are trending, so you feel kind of isolated until you search out individual people or things to follow. Also this is kinda technical but I like to scroll through my feed by swiping up and stopping with my thumb when something catches my eye. On Facebook, Twitter, and instagram this works perfectly but on Minds it will open whatever I tapped my thumb on. I might be the only one who surfs an app like this but it really throws me off my game.

The app now does a flashing change of posts on the home newsfeed page when I open it (desktop version too). So annoying. Also, my feed is so busy and I have no way of muting certain users without unfollowing or blocking them. I cannot prioritize certain creators either. It’s so much overload that it’s practically unusable. I hope they end up fixing this (on many levels) as I adore the underlying concept. It has a lot going for it and an upscale user base (much less troll like behavior compared to a Twitter or Gab). I will keep checking back until this turns the corner. I’m a believer in this concept and it has some great bones. Edit: finally had to delete the app. I can no longer post anything (just get a refresh circle continually). Went to help page to comment on someone else’s post but it said my post had an error and could not be posted . The app itself is almost unusable. You can’t see replies. Still no mute. Repeated posts. No way to prioritize. Desktop is definitely better but im usually on my phone. You’re killing a great idea. I’m now looking for a better free speech alternative. Too bad because the community is great. But the app looks like it was made by my high schooler.

I enjoy minds because of it diversity in thought. People on the platform are not pandering to the social media gods they are speaking their ‘minds’ but are also trolling people to get a rise out of them and making offense jokes at times. I’ve seen many about how women can’t drive and I laugh at it and share it. You shouldn’t take everything seriously and especially don’t take anything to heart. Now they’ll probably be racists and sexists people on this app like there is in the world but just ignore them everyone thinks they’re stupid. Just dislike their post and more on. But again this is a great app I wise there was more social media apps like this.

Great alternative to Fb. Creator I currently trust and an app that’s pretty proficient. I like the privacy aspect of it and not having to use my real name. The extra password to message, stronger encryption programming, free speech aspect, and how quickly I am receiving Followers are all good signs that this site is legit. Wish more artist were on this page though. Like to see some of my favorite bands join. Also like to see more of my American friends. Seems to be more popular among areas of Asia prob do to its open content. Def will take off in the backpacking circuit in hostels around the world

It’s a little bit of getting used to, but the offer that Minds gives cannot be found on other more popular social networking apps. The idea of decentralized network (yes, it sounds like Pied Piper from “Silicon Valley” TV show) is great and it does seem like this is where the future of social networking starts. I don’t know for how long, but with fewer controls and restrictions on the users, this company has carved the true meaning of freedom of speech. Start trying out this app, and have your voice be heard globally!
