Locals.com 12+

I’ve been on Locals for over a year now, and while it was already great starting out, the upgrades and real improvements have been regular and measurable. I have been only pleased for making the decision to get in early and to be enjoying such a thriving community now on what has to be the best platform for an online community that exists.

I will say that early on there was a small learning curve. It took a few weeks for me to fully understand the structure and design. Folks, this is true with anything. I went through the same period of having to figure out, and get familiar with, Facebook twelve years ago or however long ago it was, and so did you.

If you are still hosting your work on Facebook groups, you’re on a sinking dinosaur ship. Now’s the time to get on the Locals platform, which is a million times superior in every way, because if you don’t, in the not-too-distant future, you’re going to realize you’ve been left way behind and you’ll never correct that mistake.

I joined when it was version 2.0.XX and it was literally one of the best apps I’ve ever used. When I opened it up to find I was now on 2.1.0 and started using it, it is awful. That’s not just because it was different, it simply does not work nearly as well AND it is not nearly as intuitive. For example, you can no longer touch a person‘s name when they leave a comment and then see their profile. You have to go to the ENTIRE Locals population and search for a person. THAT is really fun (NOT). Searching for Johnny123, it does not find Johnny123, it finds EVERY Johnny (without the suffix) and there’s 469 Johnnys to scroll through to find the one I’m looking for. Stupid. In addition, it defaulted to only showing the host’s posts, not everyone’s posts. I’m no dolt, even so it took me a while to figure out how to see everyone’s posts. And I am not a lone voice in the wilderness, other people in the community I’m a part of really dislike 2.1.X also.
I’m really sick and tired of computer, software and app people thinking they have to change for change’s sake to make things “better“ because people get bored with the same. It’s a 50-50 shot, sometimes it’s better and sometimes it’s worse. In this case, it’s worse. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Not everyone has the attention span of a gnat so they need something different, many of us cherish what works well and don’t want it wrecked.

So far so good … so what! A great megadeth album but seriously folks i just crawled out from a rock and my arms r killing me, no seriously i cant get the knife away from me! Help help —-licals is amazing so far im here to follow LTC Tulsi Gabbard and a very strange progression has ensued wherein pundits journalsts and artist/comedian folk i respect and follow on the establishment propaganda platforms are slowing popping up here on locals? Needless to say but then why would I not take every advantage herein to say it (or type it) in this medium—-that makes me very happy!!
(Checking my non existent wrist watch) as of right now i love locals and hope it maintains its Non censorship policy. Also at this time A hostile foreign entity is occuyping our seat of Federal power & incarcerating Julian Assange and trying to end press freedoms in the United States of America by prosecuting Julian under antiquated espionage statutes so if you care about your republic , u r freedom & Liberty
