I'm new here, but so far i think some clear definitions of The Political Left, Right, Conservatives, Progressives, Authoritarians, Libertarians, and other major political extremes would be essential.

When someone says "The Left" and actually means Political Correctness Extremists, you can't have a discussion.

Just want free thinking without being taken off the site.

Discourage personal attacks. We do not need a second FakeBook.

Personally I prefer a move away from mythological religions like Christianity/Muslim
Catholic religions toward Interspirituality. I believe religion is the root of all evil and have indeed been severely harmed by its blind supporters.

Is there an app yet? I heard about you from RAMZPAUL I know I can add it to my homescreen on my phone but my tablet has a weird version of Android that doesn't let me do that so an app would be awesome.

My only advice would be to keep the format simple.

Hello! My name is Scottie D and I hail from New Hampshire. I heard of this bastion of refuge from a Daisy Cousins video I watched today. This is the exact thing that -what I consider to be "my side" of the U.S.- needs to have productive conversations and be able to mingle and associate with people who have been fed up with the oppressive, cancellation-oriented, judgmental people who seem to be infesting our nation and polluting the minds of our children and, let's face it, our easily manipulated adults. Whom, I might add, are far greater in number that I would've ever dreamed. I fancy myself a Conservative that has a libertarian leaning. I'm also a God-fearing man with a hopefully good head on my shoulders. I'm not dumb enough to fall for the insane rhetoric leftists are pushing nowadays so if nothing else, it's a good start. I enjoy satire as well as meaningful, intellectual conversations. I hope the people that find this corner of the interwebs find a sense of relief in the ability to have and share diverse thoughts without the constant need to walk on eggshells, in constant fear that the wrong person might see an opinion they disagree with and subsequently get a keyboard army of butthurt strangers to jam their fee-fees in one's face. Stuff gets old quick.

Go back to being 'IDW" and give me my 100,000 plus points back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a member of IDW for several years an was a solid level 8 but apparently I have been kicked off!!!
has this sight become another "facebook" ???? If so, I am DONE!!!!!!!!!

I’m a conservative, retired, and live in Brisbane Australia and I’m seriously concerned at how the simple basic of common sense seems to be deserting our political and corporate masters. I saw a tweet from Aussie journalist Daisy Cousins recommending Slug so I said sure why not.

Why when I post something on my profile it jumps to debating strategies instead?

I'm tired of extremism and believe in balance and civil talk. I also think our society is pushing the rope to the point it will break

Hey guys. Thank you! This platform is amazing! The sense of community is palpable.

I would like a Literature/Poetry section please. I am sure there are other poets out there, and there are not a lot of places for us anywhere and have not been for over a century.

Also, a way to access previous posts. I can't find anything I wrote yesterday. I can't see how those discussions are going. Nobody replied to what I wrote, fair enough, but I would like to see how other people responded.

How about when we are typing a response, we can have the same top-bar functionality as when we write a comment? Thank you.

Also, it would be handy to be able to access a history of our comments we've made to make it easier to respond. That would be shagadelic baby, yeah!

Add a history category.

AM black loader from nigeria i Will like TO know more about hacking

My email confirmation has not come through. What's the hold up?

As I just signed up, I have no idea how this site works yet Thanks for the auto generated notification though Wait a sec... Here's a tip, change your auto message to a simple "thanks for coming over" or similar, then when new users have logged an hour or two, or a certain number of clicks - I don't know how this works - to give them time to form an opinion, then send another auto message asking for tips on how to improve the site.

That's all I've got for now. Cheers for havin me!

Hi, I was born when the Soviet Union led Warsaw Pact troops in an invasion of Czechoslovakia to crack down on reformist trends in Prague. Brainwashed but still young to shape my opinion I welcomed the Velvet Revolution, the end of Cold War with tears and hunger for freedom. Moved to Australia to start from bottom. But I noticed each year that the Australian system is slowly changing from capitalism to socialism. Victorian labor government tentacles started to reach every aspect of it’s citizens lives. And covid 19 was the final straw. Government is again try to tell me how to live my life. With the first lockdown I started to loose my marbles and during the second lockdown I cracked. Now i am on an antidepressants and seeing psychologist . My past is haunting me again. I can not laugh any more or joke about anything. At work my colleagues are refusing to see the facts, to ask questions, they are brainwashed by MSM, they just blindly follow the government cliche slogan “ to do right things” . I stopped to try to explain and discuss. I lost my friends, my family, .... only social media always remind me that I’m not alone and there is still hope.

Is there an app?

On the subject of facilitating the exchange of ideas, it would be nice to have link for quotes made in posts/comments that navigate you to quoted material.

A fellow in this post quoted someone else but I am struggling to find the comment they quoted. I'm unable to give my opinion as I don't have any context for the subject.

I just signed on and wanted to post and noticed an omission. We need a category for Covid-19 related. It is the only game in town right now. Perhaps have another category for Health (non-Covid).

I want to post about the cures, treatments, for FLU19 (covid) but I could not find a suitable category. The closest is policy.

I presume there is no practical character limit for a post? If not, make it at least 60k!

Thank you for providing this platform for people to express and share their views and information.

Too early for me to help, heard about this site tonight

I’m a business owner in Australia. I am sick of biased reporting and people trying to manipulate my thinking. I want to hear both sides of a debate not just what the sooks and wokes want me to hear. I am all for free speech and I want to hear it, no matter how good or bad it may be. I don’t want to hear blatant lies.

Hi! When I entered my zip code I didn’t realize you were going to display my location to everyone. How do I remove that?

Do you have a phone app?
