Well, I've decided I'm going to continue using MeWe.... Imperfect as it is, other platforms Gab and Minds and Xephula (which are more ideal from my standpoint - which less restrictive content terms) are still too much of a right-wing echo chamber.... I doubt all my liberal friends would jump over here, but they might give MeWe a look. So I'm going to create a second account here that's like my public "Instagram" for just my photos. I'm also going to be posting all the same content to Xephula or Gab as well, for my conservative/libertarian/anarchist friends who find even MeWe's content restrictions a bit too much (I haven't decided which platform yet, but most likely Gab, because like MeWe, its business model also isn't based on advertisements). My standard is whether it would have net positive or negative impact if I contributed to a platform, and I have to admit, *though imperfect*, it would be an improvement if my more left-leaning jumped over to MeWe. Though they ban speech in favor of violence and hate speech of all kinds, and do this in a such strict way that I think it's ridiculous at times (e.g. banning the gun emoji and censoring searches for the term "militia"), at they at least do this consistently (they even ban hate speech against conservatives and Trump supporters), and there is no "misinformation" policy that is prone to abuse (or deplatforming people based on certain political beliefs.) It would be a great improvement, if people left platforms like Facebook for ones built around privacy, where the users are the customer and not the product, and where the feed of information organic and in chronological order, not manipulated by algorithms. If MeWe gets too big like to the point where its information restrictions have an outsized influence on society (like Facebook did), then I may have to stop posting my content here as well, but for now there is room for a multiplicity of approaches and platforms, some with more restrictions, some with fewer. So for now, I will be be using more than one. You can find my MeWe profile here: https://mewe.com/i/lordofthebrambles And here is my profile on Gab: https://gab.com/lordofthebrambles
