Stop that weird little clicking sound when logging in, it's very annoying.

Hmmm. That sound is for when you get a new alert while on the website. You can turn it off by your settings "Hear audio "ping" when new alerts come while on the site" ... see [slug.com]

Just love the edit function on posts! ????
I am wondering if Vice-Admiral Mark A. G. Norman CMM CD a Royal Canadian Navy officer. On August 5, 2016, he assumed the appointment of Vice Chief of the Defence Staff of Canada, but was temporarily relieved from the post on January 16, 2017.
Who is now fighting for his rights.. and a go fund me page was set up for him...if our points could go to that as a selection on the charities page.

While we don't want it to get out of hand, you can make a post about him with details. I don't know anything about his circumstances/etc.

More categories, better moderators, book recommendations section for each (geoffrey miller for relationships), attack nationalists and white identitarians get them off of here. Protect ur reputation. create a science space and an archived space for dead/old stuff.

Interesting list! You can tag your posts with almost anything as categories, the community is the ultimate moderators so we can all get involved there, as far as "attacking" people we hope to engage in civil discourse... If you disagree with their positions, please get involved and let them know (facts and humanization helps any disagreement). Welcome! When you're a level 4, create a group!

Attack nationalists and white identitarians? What do you want...censorship? Isn't that the whole point of this? Unless the comments are actually hateful, my understanding is that every voice can be heard without someone (you, perhaps?) determining their intentions.

Make an app so this can be taken out of Facebooks prying eyes.

We've both an iPhone and Android app that is a mirror of the website + some nice features.

2

Keep it going. This site looks really good (not to mention the content!) Keep it going.

Slooooooow typing. Ghosts and i and like 3 words ahead of type showing up on post. Anyway to speed up?

I've not seen similar reports by other members. Are you on desktop or photo? Check how much memory swap your computer is using as that often slows things down.

Well.... it's taking ages for my activation link to get to my email. Busy with new registrations and the email server is backed up perhaps? Gonna have to go to sleep now so hopefully my token doesn't time out before morning.
Anyway, I'm an opinionated loudmouth who may be just a little too generous in blessing others with my wisdom. I love ideas, especially my own. Curious to see what goes on here.

Mind checking your spam folder? We've check the mail system and do not see any blocks/etc. Mail should arrive within a minute.

@Admin Yup. In the spam. I guess my provider "improved" my service recently. Looks like anything marked likely gets diverted and my email client on my phone can't POP it - doesn't even show up in the list. Really really really despise this sort of filtering. I turned it off before - I'd rather delete it as it comes than have to go to a special folder to delete it later. Anyway - mystery solved.

I miss the customized backgrounds of myspace

Do you also miss the "blink" tag and music that would randomly play when you went to home pages? As you can tell by the design here, my designs tend to be a bit retro and feature heavy. I do want to add some more customizations but it often can make a community look hodge-podge. We'll look at the group header image next .

@Admin I'm almost old enough to be a boomer lol I'm surprised I can use any of this

I think you need a group for education. IMO we must reform our education system and take it back from progressives.

Now that the basic website here is working, I want to put some effort in consolidating educational material to help teach reasoning skills but I realize that member initiatives is a good way to leverage time. Level 4 members can create groups.

Happy to find this new place to discuss.

I wouldn’t encourage “upload photos to profile”... the other side is nuts!

Just happy to see a new platform, will update after using for a bit

Put this site on the Blockchain using an ERC-like token / rewards system.

I've been thinking about something like that but don't know yet what is the benefit over a centralized server and log repository based token / rewards system?

@Admin Take a look at Minds.com and you will find your answer....or some partial ideas. 🙂 You can reward those who post, comment, like, and share with "tokens" w/ Metamask installed, can help people actually obtain Ethereum coins in the crypto marketplace.

Just found this site today after watching one godless women on YouTube. Thanks OGW ??? I’ve boycotted Twitter and Facebook because of their deplatforming of conservative voices. Free thought,critical thinking and need for fact based reasoning are essential for the advancement of our society. By looking at the history of the founders of this site I think I can find all of that and more. Thank you IDW for taking the first step !!

This website is not affiliated with any public figure. We are working on the overall IDW movement as a non-commercial entity run by fans of the IDW.

You need to improve your editing. I noticed two obvious errors. Would you like me to point these out, and perhaps others?

I LOVE it when someone finds a typo as I make lots of them! Please send me a direct message or use the contact form. Thanks!

For some reason the activation link isn’t coming to my icloud.com email

I'll check tomorrow for you. Mind checking your spam folder too?

@Admin same here. Even tried resending it and nothing. Checked junk folder. Not in there either.

Something we need to keep in mind while improving the site is the upvoting/like system. While browsing reddit you can obviously see if an idea doesn’t fit the general “correct” view I gets downvoted to the very bottom of the page where no one can see it. This site needs to be different. We shouldn’t hide someone else’s point of view if we don’t like it because we could grow from it.

Yes, I'm working on a gray paper idea (see, it would be called a white paper but this being a dark web thing...) now that could use insights gained here to bring together cohorts of people who would have the most impact on each other in terms of understand counter arguments. Will put it in a newsletter.

Hi and thank you for the add. 1st question... Facebook can't censor us here correct? I'm tired of my posts of the truth being blocked, while the incredible lies and double standards and the hijacking of our country are going unchecked.

Facebook can't censor here but they may decide to ban us from their site. We do want to encourage facts and opinions but also requiring members to always humanize their thoughts.

Thank you so much for creating this community!!!

I just joined but so far it just looks like another 'Rant Rag'...

It may feel like that in some places here right now but we're working on a solution to help highlight comments with thought diversity relative to each visitor.

1

I just started so I have no ideas on impovement.

2

No censorship! Looking for a place to have a dialogue, and share ideas that can be controversial for some.

2

I would like to breathe a real air of truth, freedom and integrity in a world full of lies, hypocrisy, and double standard

Well first I think it would help to give users a clear picture of what this platform is for. Is it just for discussion, or are their plans to change this to a movement in support of the IDW key speakers?

Check out [slug.com] for more info

Is there any way to create a mediator bot for civil debates? Like type your arguement, then basically have to wait your turn until your opponent can make their rebuttals, and vice versa? Just to maintain the flow and ensure both sides can make their fair arguments and rebuttals? Not a computer guy so not sure

That's an interesting idea. The current site is basically that but you make a post and the world jumps on it.
