    Minds is currently the only good social media site

    Date: Jan 14 2022
    Summary

    Minds is a great platform. Despite the fact that some objectionable people have joined, you really don't see that content if you don't follow it. There are good artist accounts, writers, podcasters, thinkers, memers and more that aren't spreading hate. In fact, a lot of people on the site are actively working to stop hate (like Daryl Davis and Change Minds). In the end, you'll really only see the content of people you follow, so if that's what you're looking for and want to stop giving Facebook, Twitter, and others all your data (and/or soul) come join Minds!

    Positive

    - Frees and Open Source Software
    - Privacy-oriented
    - Free Speech focused
    - Jury policy for content disputes
    - Memes

    Negative

    - Small userbase
    - Objectionable content (see also: Free Speech)
    - No private accounts

    Minds for Writing and Images

    Date: Apr 27 2022
    Summary

    Some seem critical of Minds.com over politics which is sad because it's easy to ignore anyone you want. It's easy to use to publish and link to your publication with images for free. I highly recommend it.

    Positive

    There is really no easier platform to publish written material and quality images than Minds.com . Creating blogs is as easy as creating a post, replies are easy and it's a great way to get feedback.

    Negative

    It needs work on allowing multiple images in a thread and inserting videos. I'm not a user of its online community / chat features I use it to read and post to which I do often.

    Love Minds

    Date: Jan 15 2022
    Summary

    I spend more time on minds than any other format. It is my go to for quick check in visits. Not as many close contacts but many favorites.

    Positive

    Love that there is very little negativity and post stay up regardless of how offensive they are to some people.

    Negative

    Would like more options on post than thumbs up and down.

    My time on Minds

    Date: Jan 21 2022
    Summary

    What I came to minds for, is freedom of speech. It delivers and I will stay as long as it keeps true to that.

    Positive

    FREE SPEECH is the reason I came to Minds and the reason I'll stay with Minds! Tokens accrue with usage and interaction and can be exchanged for cryptos/cash or used to boost posts or to donate to other users. Big variety of personalities and groups for everything. Promotion of alt media. Support for artists and podcasters. I've been on Minds for just over a year and my following and interacting has grown steady. I love it!

    Negative

    The app is glitchy sometimes. And there messaging system is very glitchy. Hit or miss if you actually receive what is sent to you. It's a young platform so it's taking time to build momentum. But it's getting there.

    Say No to Censorship

    Date: Apr 27 2022
    Summary

    I edit the platform. It is my #1 social media app. I earn crypto and revenue from my post. For the content creator, Minds Plus and Minds Pro allow you revenue share to help grow your company or your subscriber base.

    Positive

    Minds is a free speech platform. You can earn crypto and boost your content. Great for content creators.

    Negative

    Not sure that there is a whole that I don't like. If there is problems, they seem to work on them pretty quickly.

    Minds

    Date: Jan 14 2022
    Summary

    A site that deserves five stars with a high rating, and it is somewhat interesting, but we want to improve the application specialized in opening this site. Thank you.

    Positive

    It is a beautiful site in many respects.
    First, an easy-to-use site.
    Secondly, a site that supports freedom of expression and this is a good thing because it is not available in other browsers such as Facebook and so on.
    Third, it is a browser that enjoys the user due to the large number of channels and different and multiple content, meaning that it is very entertaining.
    Fourth, it is a secure site for information.
    Fifth, it works to support the user through daily rewards, and this feature is the most beautiful and sweet, meaning that you can browse your news and enjoy in your channels and you really earn. It is wonderful.

    Negative

    I don't see any downsides to this website
    However, there are nude pictures that affect morals and religion as well.
    And as it was known that it contains many nationalities and religions, I hope that nude and offensive images are generally prohibited.

    Account hacked

    Date: Apr 01 2022
    Summary

    My Minds account was hacked and someone kept posting on it. I tried to appeal to Minds to get them off my account but they just deleted me. No help whatsoever. Useless.

    Positive

    Alternative to Facebook as looked similar and could go there whenever was on a ban. Would be on there now if I hadn't been deleted.

    Negative

    No help from any admins whatsoever despite replying to every email accusing me of spamming.

    Great platform

    Date: Jan 14 2022
    Summary

    The app is decently advanced, far more trustworthy than competing platforms such as Facebook, and is well worth a try.

    Positive

    I love the platform. The user interface is well designed, the crypto associated appears so be useful, and the community is rather nice. Even without many friends or family on the app, I still have found multiple users who have been quite pleasant to interact with, and amazing content creators to follow the journeys of. As far as I can tell, users can trust the company with their data and freedom. The app has an option where you can create your own algorithm. This is a fantastic feature, I love being transparently in control of influencing what suggested content is shown.

    Negative

    It could use a more aggressive marketing tactic to attract new users, as the only cons I currently see are from it having a somewhat smaller userbase than one might be used to.

    Good site, with varying degrees of Free Speech, now publicly listed.

    Date: Jan 16 2022
    Summary

    Funny how the really interesting groups don't get as much interaction. So everyone is forced into politics just to make some crypto. They should give more crypto to non politics. That will get people engaging better.
    Worth going to. Worth interacting on. Now.
    In the future?

    Positive

    The site pays you for making an effort. Not much if you are not a paid subscriber, but something. Way to make an income that is not YouTube, especially if you are a paid subscriber. It is far better than Facecrap ever was, and no losing your humanity in the Matrix. For now. Currently it is refreshingly open.... for the most part.

    Negative

    There is no absolute free speech on any site that is publicly listed, as then they have to conform to the wishes of the shareholder. Currently not too much of an issue, but has potential to function either as controlled opposition, or a trap in the future. Signs of this can be seen in they way they moderate. Don't trust that it will not be like the highly illogical and anti-factual YouTube in the future. As soon as people are dependent on the income, you will get screwed. Love to be proven wrong.

    The pioneer for alternatives to Facebook

    Date: Apr 24 2022
    Summary

    Minds was my first platform of similar kind. I was looking for Facebook alternatives long ago and started my journey on Minds.com long ago, probably at least there since 8 years but not a frequent user anymore. The most engaged groups are a bit focusing on conspiracy - which is not a bad thing in general - too much in my view.

    Positive

    The interface is pretty easy to use and after several years the rewards became somehow valuable - Minds is probably one of the very first social media platforms focusing on crypto which took a while to really implement.

    Negative

    Pretty hard to create relations and I am still not sure how to engage best within the groups there. It took a bit long until the tokens got value, at least it became after years an Ethereum token. Not that easy to cash out though.

    Minds is a very strange place to blog.

    Date: Apr 04 2022
    Summary

    Overall I had a lot of hope for Minds after experiencing problems with Bullies on Hive. But Minds seems to be another place for Right wing Extremists.

    Positive

    I tried Minds several years ago. It had a lot of potential. I only came back to Minds recently after having a very bad experience on Hive. Minds is a pretty good place to share your memes.

    Negative

    Minds seems to be taken over by Conspiracy theories and Right Wing Politics.
    There doesn’t seem to be a way to earn a good amount of crypto.
    If you are just a normal person Minds seems to be saturated with Pro Trumpers.

    Changing Minds through dialogue is truly better than isolating problems.

    Updated: Jan 18 2022
    Summary

    A welcoming place filled with various ideas/outlooks and of course like the name implies some great Minds.

    Positive

    -Free speech
    -Promotional tools (get a ton for free)
    -Easy Interface
    -Community led
    -Jury System
    -Meme Safe

    Negative

    -Comment Pics kind of buggy at the moment but probably be fixed other than that no real cons at all come to mind.

    Refreshing

    Date: Jan 16 2022
    Summary

    I Love the layout and freedom to post and share without feeling like big brother is checking everything i share and then limiting how often it gets seen.

    Positive

    Not having posts filtered because they disagree with the platforms beliefs is refreshing and not seeing 50 ads of something i looked at online is fantastic. I also love not having someone adding their beliefs to my posts!

    Negative

    So far do good. I really have not found anything negative
