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.

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.

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.
