Market it to liberals so it doesn't become just another echo chamber.

Yes, hopefully will get a balance of opinions here. I'm working on some code to measure how different members are from a topic.

@Admin A thought on that, don't know how it would work in practice... the problem, as I see it, is in trying to figure out someone's general mindset relative to the specific topic in question. One could begin to establish a bit of a profile by assigning people an "attitude" at random towards a given post or topic and then prominently post the "prediction" near the submit button with the assumption that being "assumed" or "predicted" to have the wrong / opposite position would motivate them to change it. So for topics where the user did change the "attitude" predictor you would have a reasonable assurance that they were self-identifying their actual stance, whereas users who were not motivated to make the change were either correctly identified or else did not feel strongly enough one way or the other to make a change and were thus neutral. Over time it seems to me that a method similar to this could be used to build up a general profile for a user, as well as to factor into the prediction algorithm to make slightly improved predictions over being simply randomly assigned.

I believe in free speach. You may hurt my feelings, but I believe in your right to do so. It is also my right to walk away if i don’t like what your are saying, not to sensor you.

I'm a web app developer for a digital marketing company. Overall this app toats a lot of functionality but i believe there could be improvements made to the UI, would be happy to talk in more detail.

That, its got lots of functionality but UI is not smooth yet and could use some help.

Why was Whiskey not an option on the questionnaire?

Yes, we should have started with that!

Still new at the navigation, is there a search function for a specific person or group? I would also like to also suggest Mark Passio, his videos and podcasts, :what on earth is happening, subjects like natural law, the non-aggression principle, hegalian dialectic, and the deep state occult and the general morality of society are spot on, and very informative.

Yes, we have a search field but we'll add a normal search field at the top soon!

Too new to have an opinion

Maybe a list of (or possibly a search engine for) subjects being discussed. Something easier and faster than scrolling.

Thanks for putting up this site and inviting me!

Yep... we need to show our search form and tags field more clearly. Thanks!

I'm new here, so, see how it works!

Let's get out of the land of confusion through honest conversations

Excited to dive into this website. As our rights and liberties are being attacked by the left, I love the premsie of this website, freedom. Freedom of thought and freedom of expression. Cheers to insightful conversation and the truth.

I will let you know. but I just joined and do not have any idea of this site runs or works.

You can check out the Tutorial under the "Learn" button. Welcome!

So i finally was able to visit the site on a browser as opposed to the app. So is there an easier way to view the the pictures in a group as opposed on clicking on each one? like a way to browse through them? a pop-up with arrows or something that allows you to click through the images in the group instead of having to click on each one individually to go into the posts for that group. also is there a plan for private groups? Groups that are not accessible unless you are part of the group?

Yes, on mobile... we just updated the groups to make all of this easier. Yes, private groups are in the road map.

Idea on how to improve this new site:

On our profiles, we are asked: "Are you (do you consider yourself to be) a Social Justice Warrior (SJW)?"

You are guarenteed to get "No" as an answer most of the time, from the people who typically fall into the Progressive/Identity Activist, Intersectionality Theory Promoting Neo-Liberal perspective on politics. SJW is an insult meant for violent yet weak protestors demanding progressive policy change. It is a derisive term that is imposed by those outside of the group looking in, upon the cohort. The same way many devout people of the Christian religion in America are now automatically pegged as "Evangelicals" to imply simple small mindedness that deserves no deeper look, and many people who voted for Trump in 2016 are called "Trump Supporters" to insinuate that they endorse all his conduct, Twitter statements and all he is claimed (by CNN) to symbolize.

If you want to get an accurate representation of what perspectives new members of this site are coming into IDW with, you have to change the wording from SJW to some INTERNALLY accurate label, according to Progressives/SJWs themselves.

My best suggestion is some mix of the words "Progressive" and "Society" and "Advocate" and "Change"

Great comment! We just updated the profile questions edit form to let you erase your responses. Yes, we are working on a way to better understand what members are looking for. Thanks!

Deadpan: I somehow didn't notice that question. However, please warn us of any "social justice warriors" as biased or not, I have no use for such twisted individuals in my life. However, I'm all for "real" social justice (doesn't require that someone else become responsible for my whims) and that people are treated equally based on merit.

Similarly on the "Are you Adventurous or Cautious", I would add a "Both" response because I think it's more than possible to be both, and for good reasons.

It seems that the "Posts from My Groups" page (/groups/mygroupposts) doesn't work, or at least doesn't display posts from my groups like the "Posts from All Groups" page (/groups/posts). Currently, it just shows all the groups I could join instead of posts from my groups.
For your design consideration, viewing posts from the groups I joined was the first thing I wanted to do after making my profile and joining groups, so giving that section more space on the home page may make sense.
There is also a potential security vulnerability I messaged the admin account about.

Yes, thanks for your message. We fixed the 'My Group Posts' links on mobile and checked for the issue you mentioned and every was and is still fine.

Merci ...... JR.

Yep, members who are level 4+ can initiate a group.

Btw those old men emoticons bring back memories and its fun.

Regarding text formatting, is there a place to see how to accuratly do it ? On PC theres are a few buttons but not mobile and i have seen people use bullet points. Is there more ? Quote function, spoiler function and such.
I accidentally deleted my comment regarding saving comments/post because i thought the star was it, but it isnt what i thought it was. Being able to go to my save would be nice

We recently updated the text input to make it simper and removed some buttons. You can do the formatting tags manually. See [slug.com] on how to set it up.

When you want to tag people make it possible to predict the persons name and show the profile picture so you can get it right. Some usernames are easy to misspell.

Good idea. I'll put it on the list. Perhaps it will just search the usernames which are in the tread... right?

I'm interested in how to get some one signed up for a cheritable donation .

Just send me a private message with the details.

I am so happy to see your site!!! It will be so nice to be able to interact with others who can discuss the issues that are destroying our Country and the World. Thank you for this.

Oh. Nazis are going underground again. Good to know
I will see myself out.

I potentially share some of your concerns. But I'm going to stick around a bit to see how it goes.

Our theory is it's better to talk publicly than to not.

I have not run into any Nazis. But I think we should be able to discuss differing viewpoints in a factual way, it keeps our brains fresh.

I'm a conservative in a liberal state.........challenge. raising 3 grandkids taught to embrace liberalism by their parents, now deceased. I am making up for lost years of influence. I don't want to see my country destroyed by the idea that loving life, loving God, protecting my family and my beliefs makes me an ignorant immoral person to be shunned by the majority. I want my grandkids to understand why i believe as i do, to make their own intelligent decisions and be able to stand when life gets difficult. Ssharing ideas, talking and learning from like minded intelligent individuals that have different experiences and knowledge and feeling free to share my own are the reasons i joined this platform.

Protecting your beliefs can make you an ignorant immoral person if your beliefs are ignorant and immoral. Nothing wrong with anything else though

I believe The Museum Of Communist Terror needs to be recognised in an age where conformity has become a fusion of Fascist & Totalitarian idéologies that are indistinguishable in their aim to force people to submit both within a religious & political setting. Any form of extremism & contributes to Mental Health problems & victim cultures make it easier to control a population & inculcate irrational fears & phobias

I just joined, have to view your site & will give you my feedback!
Thx
Cathie Post

Hi Cathie! I gave you a bunch of coins - I think you can use them to "buy IDW merch" - I don't buy merch myself (I already have too much clutter) so I just use my coins to give to others.
You were a Stew for Continental?! you might have known my oldest brother - he was a pilot. Anyhow as you can see I am now following you here on IDW. Glad you have arrived! BTW, this is where I spend much of my time - I only check in on YT once every day and then leave after just a few moments. I don't miss it really. LOL

Maybe a little less text heavy, black and white, I feel if you copied other social media platform models it could be easier to navigate your way round and understand the different groups within the IDW
