I have just started using Minds a few months ago. I’m new there so have to still find my group of Patriots. But it’s easy to post. Easy to read the news feed. They don’t censor so you can post things that some other platforms censor you for, which is great. Everyone deserves to know the Truth. Important information is usually what they censor, as it conflicts with their agendas. When you want to learn what’s really going on, you need to go where information is shared freely. It’s your choose to decide after you know all the facts, what you’ll do with it. I ❤️ Free Speech & Minds is the place to be. Your voice matters there. Download it & give it a try. You won’t be sorry. I just wish they’d show me more patriot type people. I kinda find some but I’m sure good posts could benefit all if we saw other things that interested me. The news feed seems limited to who you follow, when you new you don’t have many to follow. I’d like to see more like- minded people’s posts. I don’t see many of those.I have been gone as I was unable to open the app. So now I'm still new but they appear to be censor free. I recommend Minds on Twitter last night. Magically I got on today with ease. Thank you.

I was fairly late to the party. Most of the influential folks I see on here, still have their primary following on X. However, among all of those early generation alternatives to mainstream social media that allowed the "deplorables" to congregate, this seems to be one of the few that still has a reasonable amount of activity. It employs a "web3" social media model, in that it has some public monetization capabilities, which even new unknown users technically have access to. It is centralized, though, maybe just by virtue of it's lacking in popularity, they are still very respectful of free speech, and personally I have not witnessed any form of censorship, let alone unjustified moderation.I do believe it's peak of popularity may be behind it, but you never know what the future holds. Given it's persistence in user engagement through all these years, there could be events that afford a second wind of popularity. Regardless, it's by no means a dead platform, and if you have a considerable distrust in how X is run (in cahoots with intel) then you may be like me and find some niche appreciation in this one.

I’m new to Minds, but I do really enjoy the feel and concept of the platform. It’s the most free feeling platform I’ve used so far and that’s mainly because they aren’t banning people non stop for seemingly innocuous things. A lot of other platforms have turned into a digital high school, either your in or your out given the days trend or hot take. And if you’re out you’re really out. That’s horrifying, given how much more important and necessary these platforms have become in our world. People keep equating digital platforms to a town squares, I think that’s very accurate. In Minds I don’t worry about what others might think or even more so what the platform itself might think, I’m just myself without worry. All of us SHOULD feel that way inherently but sadly the online world is flooded with people watching every word and self censoring to appease the masses and the platform (consciously or subconsciously). It’s truly not human to act like that. If you want to try a more laid back and honest platform this, so far, seems to be the place.

“Popular platforms” are just that…popular, no intelligent life to be found. That’s the end result and unfair to say but I don’t even see my best friends posts anymore. Just things that I’ll have an opinion on, something has happened there, where curators decide what you see. Interactions are now more important than relationships. Interact…mostly on things that upset you. Easy interaction is a win. It’s garbage, algorithm’s designed to dismiss things or friends you love because interaction w those posts is simple and happy, quick. “A fight and controversy gets 4% more interaction, pump that! = money. I hope everyone realizes there’s more and an uncurated platform is the future. Honest conversation/discussion and a platform that rewards friendships is available…it’s this platform.
