Okay, here's an idea; if I want to post something about myself, don't cancel it. You're not off to a real good start when people that want to introduce themselves to the platform, have those posts canceled because YOU think there is some information in that post that YOU don't agree with. I heard this was a site dedicated to NOT censoring people's postings.

Did I hear wrong?

Can you send me a direct message about what happened? We have a pretty high bar as to what things are not allowed (e.g., direct threats of violence, ad hominem, etc)

Am from Kenya. Am just confused at the moment and am seeking answers. I've heard some debates from guys such as Ben Shapiro and comments from individuals such as Sydney Watson and Jackie Hill Perry as may regards issues/ideas on race. Basically am not sure on what to believe anymore. Each of the individuals I've been looking at each hold up different opinions on the matter. Am trying to avoid the path of placing blame on a particular race for certain problems. Thus am here to see how the conversation goes. Am also a Saint and I've seen my faith get criticized alot especially among the youth in my country. It may have something to do with the media. It may not. Am also looking for more insight on that.

Hi, I am sola scriptura so what it says is my way. I want my bias to be the Word, not people.
My family will believe similar, all else will vary: skin, hair, ability. Racism is beastial.
As I told some from Africa, the ONLY white man is a DEAD man. We get rid of BLACK and WHITE.
We have darker, lighter. So WHAT!! The bible is clear there's a FIGHT of FAITH. But our reaction to others is clearly defined in scripture.

Makes sense. I have no issue with people's skin color. The world just seems to be too messed up at the moment.

First off when i sined up you ask for my birth date you ONLY need the Year but i can't continue if i don't put in the day and month. That is not Necessary Ai Only Needs to know that I'm Over 21 ! I'm WAY OVER 21

Yeah, I think we should just have a "check here if you're over 18" or "at least this civil"?

If it is true, then it should always be allowed.

I agree, but unfortunately the truth is not always reported, along with statistics. Why do you think the BBC in particular never hold polls? They know, along with other UK news channels, that the results would not be to their liking.

Each site should have an access box to display use and intention to allow visitors to ascertain whether they wish to make a donation to a Just Cause! I would also include a advertisement of the general purpose of this Organization!

Replace youtube. reach out to people who regularly post youtube videos and offer them partner deals here

You're a genius! Yes, and we're starting that now... have several already. Message me with who you'd like us to partner?

How VIABLE, useful are we? How can we IMPACT what most of us here see happening?
Venting(expressing?) makes us pitiful, a big laugh. Yet this intelligent community does not join thugs.
This is a conundrum to me.
One thing, we MUST act in tandem, no single heroes riding off never to be seen again.
Another, we need actual lawyers for when stuff happens.
Lawyers sharing our passion.
Glad to help.
Thanks for asking.

I find it difficult to tell where I actually am on the site

If we put a "Home" icon in the upper/left corner of the pages, would that help? When you struggle to "get to something", what is the "something" that you're thinking about?

Is it possible to have a news topic area where say a daily or weekly news item can be commented and/or discussed on? One of the reasons I went looking for a free speech area is because I kept getting censored on mainstream sites and I was never offensive. Sometimes even the highest rated comments on the BBC would be removed. I just don't think there is anywhere for the majority to have their voices heàrd, except the ballot box which is why Boris, Trump, The Brexit Party and others in europe won elections and still they won't allow those opinions. I am a little confused by this website. Could you add maybe some colours to the different areas so we know we are in different areas?

We rely on the rule of civility to help us keep all such comments live. So far, the members here have been overall civil. Great idea about using colors to let you know when you're in groups, forums, etc. Are you using a cell phone or computer?

Great content. It is not always easy to navigate

Agreed, which pages do you find harder? When you struggle to "get to something", what is the "something" that you're thinking about?

We need to be able to search by member name and not just username.

You wish is my command... you can now do that on the "Browse Members" page.

I decided to join slug because I'm tired of Facebook jail. I made an obvious joke and was reported for "hate speech". So, I'm over it.

Yeah and you know what's really sad about that? It was probably one of your "friends" or possibly even a family member who reported you. I've been there. I shared beautiful old black and white photos of nude people on beaches. Art. My aunt reported me for being obscene and didn't even have the nerve to admit that she did it.

Hopefully it was a funny joke.

Every user name i tried was "already taken". Literally as soon as I start typing it says, "this user name is already taken". I know better. Please fix this.

Hmmm. Were you registering using phone or desktop. You can do one username change in the settings.

Just please don’t be a reddit clone where upvotes and rep matter so much that people specifically make posts to rake in the upvotes and rep.

So far, few have done this but... I'm thinking of limiting the number of new posts per day.

This is just a technical issue but when signing up the list of UK regions is incomplete. For instance Northumberland and Tyne and Wear are absent. The list also contains cities and towns that are not regions such as Swindon and Sutton. I also noticed that the list of regions for Thailand does not include Bangkok which is both a city and a province.
I know this is a nitpick but it could confuse or irritate people and stop them signing up.

Is "Newcastle upon Tyne" the same as Tyne? It's been a while since I dug into the database of locations. Yeah, it's a pain to get these all right. I'll check later.

Is there a desktop icon for this site

Yes, there should be ... the fist icon (or do you see an A)?

Android app would be welcomed by me

I think we published it last week or two... I'll double check that it's there.

We must have Free Speech. plain and simple. I remember being a late teen and working 2 years with slightly older Jimmy was saying to me "I think I'm getting the boot" right enough boss walked over "Can I have a word with you??" Jimmy replied "Just tell me here" boss replied "Well were thinking of letting you go we don't know." Jimmy replies "Look Pal, are you sacking me or not ??" Boss Nods. "I hate people who pussy around the fn bush, cut the fn BS " Straight talking truth, Honesty. Things just stay with you all your days

Didn't Trump just say "You're fired!"? Wish he was a better communicator.

I am a widely-published poet. (You can Google "Joel Fry poetry.) And I cannot tell you how disappointing it is that poetry has been completely destroyed by communists and rabid censors. I'm hoping others will stand with me. We need culture. Peace.

You might like the poem (secret) tag... just put [ poem ]You're a poet? I didn't know it.[ / poem] ... but without spaces.

You're a poet?
I didn't know it.

Hi Admin,

Is there a way to cross publish a comment on gab, slug and minds?

Would be very appreciated, thanks.

I don't know if they have an API to do that... we could do it on our end BUT only in groups that one moderates. Will think about it.

@Admin Thanks for the answer.
I know gab has the API for it, i don't know for Minds.

@Admin Hey let me work something up you can use python go or js which do you prefer ?

@utube3805 @admin here

I don’t see a way to search for a friend that recently joined.

You can search by username from the "browse members" page (see search button)

Hi, I tried to use my own name as a 'username' but it says it's taken. However when I tried to search for the profile under that name, it comes up with no results. Can I find out how to get my name if it's not being used? Many thanks!

Sure - send me a direct message and I'll check what happened and fix if possible.
