2 Reasons MeWe is not my choice (and Minds.com is)
1. Fully encrypted chats are not free on MeWe.
2. On MeWe, you only get 8GB of storage, then you have to pay. The non-text content of your posts count against your storage.
Minds.com chats are free and ALWAYS end to end encrypted. You control your key. It's always free. There's no storage limit on minds. Always free. In fact, Minds pays YOU! I just realized that sounds like a commercial! :) They should pay me. Wait! They DO! ;)

Mind if I share this?
ReplyDeleteThis is in error. Posts do not count against your MeWe Cloud Storage. Only Photos, Videos, Audio, or Docs, and only if you upload them rather than linking to them somewhere else, e.g. linking to your Google Photos (which actually look quite nice as a link on MeWe).
ReplyDeleteSue T. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteStrange argument you got. There is nothing as a free lunch. I guess that relates to minds to. When a some network is "free" there must be other things they get value from, as your data or presence. I rather be on a network I need to pay for, as long as they protect my data. Learn from FB, Google, Twitter etc. We need good networks where I can pay and they protect.
ReplyDelete"As a Minds channel, you agree that Minds Boost will inject advertised content into your newsfeed to satisfy the demand of Minds publishers. In addition, you agree that other Minds channels to which you are subscribed may Remind advertised content to your feed a Channel Boost. Users may opt-out of Minds Boost by joining Minds Plus." - aka pay for not get adverstisment.
ReplyDelete" Minds offers optional paid services such as Minds Tokens, hosting, subscriptions, monetization, additional storage, bandwidth, Minds Plus, video transcoding, and Boost (any such services, an “Upgrade”). By an Upgrade you agree to pay Minds the one time, monthly or annual subscription fees indicated for that service. Payments will be charged on a pre-pay basis on the day you sign up for an Upgrade and will cover the use of that service for a monthly or annual subscription period as indicated. "

You being there provides eyes to the people boosting their posts. Minds gets revenue from the paid boosts and they share that with you.
"I rather be on a network I need to pay for, as long as they protect my data"
Well, on minds you CAN pay, but you do not "need" to pay. You should read up on the founder's philosphy on why they created minds and how it works. You'll like what you see. And as I see, you did find several excepts of how you can pay and how they're able to make money without violating your privacy and even paying the users.
They have a feature called "boost" where you can "boost" anything you post. "Boosting" puts your content in the "boostfeed" tab. You pay for that if you want your content boosted. That's a big part of their revenue model. See image below. And, as I see you already posted, you can pay to not see the boosted posts (since you said that's important to you). Side note: Madara Uchiha On mobile, unless you click the "boosted" tab, you won't see them. On desktop, only the top position is for boosted posts. Everything below that is organic content. And that top position for boosted posts is only on your main feed and only if you're not enabling your interest filters. And most boosted posts are not political. The organic content has a lot political stuff, as is true with all social networks. You're not going to interact with others online without seeing politics, unfortunately.
So, yah, Knut Erik Hollund Looks like you did a good job of finding their revenue model. Users can pay for extra features, like on mewe. Paid and non-paid Minds.com members get full, end-to-end, zero-knowledge encrypted private messaging, no storage limits, and get paid for participating.
In short, free users aren't "bumbarded" with anything, have no storage limits, and get free end-to-end encrypted messaging, and don't give up privacy in exchange for services (like FB, Google, & Twitter do), and Minds.com users even get paid. It's also open source and you can run your own node.
If you find anything else useful, let us know (for this or any other alternative platforms).

Knut Erik Hollund "Strange argument you got. There is nothing as a free lunch. I guess that relates to minds to. When a some network is "free" there must be other things they get value from, as your data or presence. I rather be on a network I need to pay for, as long as they protect my data. Learn from FB, Google, Twitter etc. We need good networks where I can pay and they protect."
You being there provides eyes to the people boosting their posts. Minds gets revenue from the paid boosts and they share that with you.
"I rather be on a network I need to pay for, as long as they protect my data"
Well, on minds you CAN pay, but you do not "need" to pay. You should read up on the founder's philosphy on why they created minds and how it works. You'll like what you see. And as I see, you did find several excepts of how you can pay and how they're able to make money without violating your privacy and even paying the users.
They have a feature called "boost" where you can "boost" anything you post. "Boosting" puts your content in the "boostfeed" tab. You pay for that if you want your content boosted. That's a big part of their revenue model. See image below. And, as I see you already posted, you can pay to not see the boosted posts (since you said that's important to you). Side note: Madara Uchiha On mobile, unless you click the "boosted" tab, you won't see them. On desktop, only the top position is for boosted posts. Everything below that is organic content. And that top position for boosted posts is only on your main feed and only if you're not enabling your interest filters. And most boosted posts are not political. The organic content has a lot political stuff, as is true with all social networks. You're not going to interact with others online without seeing politics, unfortunately.
So, yah, Knut Erik Hollund Looks like you did a good job of finding their revenue model. Users can pay for extra features, like on mewe. Paid and non-paid Minds.com members get full, end-to-end, zero-knowledge encrypted private messaging, no storage limits, and get paid for participating.

And that top position for boosted posts is only on your main feed and only if you're not enabling your interest filters. And most boosted posts are not political. The organic content has a lot political stuff, as is true with all social networks. You're not going to interact with others online without seeing politics, unfortunately.
So, yah, Knut Erik Hollund Looks like you did a good job of finding their revenue model. Users can pay for extra features, like on mewe. Paid and non-paid Minds.com members get full, end-to-end, zero-knowledge encrypted private messaging, no storage limits, and get paid for participating.
In short, free users aren't "bumbarded" with anything, have no storage limits, and get free end-to-end encrypted messaging, and don't give up privacy in exchange for services (like FB, Google, & Twitter do), and Minds.com users even get paid. It's also open source and you can run your own node.
If you find anything else useful, let us know (for this or any other alternative platforms).

Ryan Toxopeus Indeed. I was thinking of doing the same, looking around for something to buy so I can support them.
ReplyDeleteRyan Toxopeus Minds.com DOES NOT have targeted advertising! This is VERY important. Please read their mission statements. Minds.com exists precisely BECAUSE they hate that as much as we do.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY "ads" are your peers paying to be seen and you don't even have to click that tab. You share in the money they take in from your peers boosting their posts.
I'm more interested in communities not chats which wind up being like "small talk" in real life.I want a discussion subject and not just meme's.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of the idea that no matter how bad something is, we should be grateful that it isn't worse. That's a recipe for heading straight to the lowest possible denominator, and then going lower still.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't agree that profit is above all other things. I've never had advertising on my personal website, and I don't get anything from it other than the pleasure of trying to help others. Altruism is a real thing. This world was not created by Ayn Rand. And "profit above all" is rapidly killing off our planet and the human race.
Don't want any ads period next to my content. I don't know who they are; can't vouch for them; and don't want to appear that I support any content I don't explicitly support, and know what they're doing with the data.
ReplyDeleteThe boost services also are a cop out. If folks can boost, that means those troll factories can, too. It winds up being a spam site in the end.
Best advertising is organic, not artificial. Where you attract what you like, not what some AI thinks you like (from what I've seen on Google/Youtube/Twitter their suggestions are usually wrong anyway -- interest doesn't mean you like the content!).
Kevyne Kicklighter once again, don't click the boosted tab.
ReplyDeleteThe ads on Minds are just people's channels on the sidebar, or content from other Minds users, hardly anyone engages the sidebar.
ReplyDeleteThere are no true "advertisements" insofar as say, some corporation like T-Mobile buys up ad space on Minds, or like how FB has ads. That doesn't happen.
AND, "boosted" content isn't next to yours, it's in the main feed where it gets put with everyone else's. If someone's looking just at your post or your page, there's no one else's content but yours there. Boosted content is sort of the same way popular posts appear "What's hot" on G+ (except that Minds users actually pay 'points' to boost), and it's easy to ignore. And you can easily scroll past the one box with the boosted posts section on the home page. The rest of the content there is just regular posts.
What people aren't understanding, it's the very things people want to get away from in social media: no more buying/selling advertisements (and it's data), that includes so-called friends posts, because 1000000000000001 friends posts boosted is called spam to anyone else.
ReplyDeleteMeWe doesn't make their money that way, it's totally ad free. No boosted posts, included.
People have friends but they may not like their politics nor hobbies, too. Good god, can you imagine this mess due to friends of friends feeds??? EMBARRASSING!!!
plus.google.com - OMG! That Myth guy learned a valuable lesson!
MeWe and Minds both have the same fundamental problem Google has; they are for profit corporations. Theres nothing stopping either of them from going bankrupt, or selling their business to Facebook.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, we have access to some brilliant people and 10 months. Cant we get some programmers and gofund them enough coffee and whiskey to make a new, better nonprofit Google+?
Kevyne Kicklighter the amount of effort we've spent on this thread is more than you'd ever spend on avoiding boosted posts. And there's ZERO user data involved. You CANNOT target your boosts. There's only ONE place they show up. And on mobile, they don't show up AT ALL unless you actively choose to view them.
ReplyDeleteAnd they're NOT "ads". They're your peers. It's entirely a non issue.
And for those saying you want to pay MeWe, then your equivalent on minds is the paid version, where you don't even have boosted posts... Entirely not there.
Please, read the philosophy from the creators before jumping the gun on what you think Minds is.
And I'll point out again, on minds, private messaging is always free and always zero knowledge, end to end encryption and storage is the same as Google+... Unlimited and free. It's open source. It's ad free, per described here Anyone can run their own node. You get paid. It's on a blockchain, so nodes can access the same, public data. If the creators of minds decide to close up shop, not a huge deal. Just log onto another node. If these are important to you (they are for me), then minds might be the one for you. If they're not or other features are more important, then, perhaps another network is better for you.
And to be clear, I'm not trying to convince you that Minds is best for you, personally. I'm just making sure that everyone understands what it is so they can make an informed decision for what's best for them.
There are other differences in how they function, per differences in design philosophy between them, and that's a GOOD thing. Just pick the one that's best for you, accept corrections (as I've done here) of your misperceptions so you can properly inform others and to make a well informed decision for yourself.
I personally prefer the more polished UI of MeWe and the emoji system there. But, the features listed above rank higher for me, personally, so minds is better, overall, for me. It won't be for everyone. To each his own. Good luck and may you find the best social network for you.
Eric Tolle "MeWe and Minds both have the same fundamental problem Google has; they are for profit corporations. Theres nothing stopping either of them from going bankrupt, or selling their business to Facebook."
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing for minds to sell. It's similar to diaspora. Public data is already on the public blockchain. There is no private data you give them. You could even run your own node and modify the code to ignore boosted posts so you and/or your users never see them.
"Honestly, we have access to some brilliant people and 10 months. Cant we get some programmers and gofund them enough coffee and whiskey to make a new, better nonprofit Google+?"
No need. Both diaspora and minds are open source.
github.com - Hosting Minds · Issue #123 · Minds/minds
ReplyDeleteJuha Lindfors That's even worse, unless people only read/post via VPN. Self hosting is a different beast all together, and there's zero accountability what they can do with traffic info.
ReplyDeleteNaw, will stick to a company that can be held accountable. They are in it for the money, after all.
Chris Harpner Boosted posts is the very reason people went with MeWe. It's 100% ad/boost free. I don't want to see ANY content from other people some AI may think I like (that it is there, means the door is open it it); or because XYZ befriends ABC, and it litters your feed with junk memes and TMZ links. Nor would I want screen real estate taken up for it.
ReplyDeleteMeWe's profit model is much how games are doing it: customization for a fee, where the free product remains free. Lets folks try out their services for a while to see if it's a fit, without turning over money first deal. All they need is a fine control on visual/audio/link content, and MeWe is a win for me.
Kevyne Kicklighter
ReplyDeleteThere's no AI behind it. There's no who your friends are etc...
And, of course, if you're paying, there's no boosted content at all.
Your choice is fine. If a single tab that you don't have to click on the free version bothers you that much, I understand. For me, I specifically go to the boosted content, because a lot of it is pretty good. But I fully understand your point of view.
Kevyne Kicklighter The point in this case is that it's not possible (so it seems) to host Minds software other than by the company itself. Locking out the competition in a sense, and therefore reducing resilience.
ReplyDeleteIt's fine to stick with a company, but other alternatives (when self-hosting is an option) are for example a foundation with a solid governance and funding model, or another company with a different business model.
You are right about money though. Securing users' data against bad actors is not only difficult but can also be expensive. It's hard to see how to accomplish this without a funding source.
The last point is an aspect of the federation model that its advocates tend not to want to highlight or talk about. Volunteering may be difficult to scale to millions or tens of millions of users. Servers, bandwidth, hard drives and expertise do not come free of charge.
Posting this only because it's somewhat relevant to the discussion... Again, choose which network best fits your needs.

Chris Harpner If it's built on boosting, AI isn't far away. AI is so dumb still it can't separate research from interests. So you'll get a lot of false positive feeds, that will look like spam, even if it was from friends.
ReplyDeleteYou may like your friends, but not their pet interests. TMZ links ... ugh!
Kevyne Kicklighter They're committed to organic feeds in chronological order. Please read their philosophy before guessing things that aren't true. You'll like what you see.
ReplyDeleteChris Harpner No, I don't like what I see. If you read a news article about XYZ, and there was an unfamiliar term/jargon used and searched for it, it doesn't mean you like your YouTube feeds to include it as an interest.
ReplyDeleteAI is dumb, stupid and idiotic still. It doesn't differentiate interests from random searches.
Kevyne Kicklighter I appreciate your response. I have an honest question for you: Why are you bringing up AI?
ReplyDeleteChris Harpner Promotions/boosts use AI to target audiences. Also because it's a hot research in computing science now, that it's even interfering with stroke research, too. It's ALL OVER neuroplasicity topics and becoming obnoxious!
ReplyDeletehttps://medium.com/adventures-in-consumer-technology/neuro-plasticity-and-general-artificial-intelligence-8ba60686971b
Machine learning is inundating topics about neuroplasticity, and it shows AGAIN, that interests for particular topics =/= related topics of other fields. So I don't want AI YouTube videos mish mashed with Stroke research on neuroplasticity.
Organic searches have their place (i.e., looking for chicken recipes, PERFECT), but narrow research for particular interests it doesn't help. It becomes SPAM!
Kevyne Kicklighter I know what AI and machine learning are (I'm actually paid to write ML & AI, BTW ;)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you see that minds uses AI for boosting? And, if you're not going to click on the boost tab, why would it matter even if it did?
And, of course, if you're a paid member, it's not even there at all.
Chris Harpner The AI hooks are there for it. Because it won't stop at square one when dollar signs are flashing ... like you getting paid for it.
ReplyDeleteSee? You're not interested even of the spam it creates, because when ML+AI are as stupid a a stack of bricks, it doesn't sell ... and you want to sell it for your own paycheck (like the mess self-driving cars had faced recently with terrain and not recognizing it changed, set back self-driving cars and it's hype).
ML+AI is only as good as the programming logic and the people who program it, too (and we're seeing just how crazy that logic has been with Google, one of the largest Tech giants on the planet with billions of dollars of venture capital, and "rockstar" engineers and how that went with Google+).
Having machines play chess and create music is nice, but mathematics is where it stops (it's no better than a 80s sequencer). It lacks being human and having emotions (Art without emotions? That's like a car without fuel). And it's the emotions that drive interest, like neuroplasticity for humans, not ML+AI which is SPAM to those not researching it!
I can go on and on and on about the problems of ML+AI to end-users, but the bottomline is, it's still no replacement of a human knowledgeable in certain subjects. It's not there, and probably won't be there as people like you are in your own bubble trying to make a living off of it. It doesn't benefit you, when that's your gravytrain. Everyone else suffers for that with SPAM, SPAM, SPAM!
HINT: granulated searches for deep research, not organic. Organic is this: Stroke search and getting 4 stroke engine junk, or worse, golf strokes leads. THAT'S JUNK! Google hasn't even figured it out yet, either.
Kevyne Kicklighter OK, first of all... Calm down. You're making an ENORMOUS amount of assumptions about:
ReplyDelete1. What Minds is doing.
2. What I'm doing.
3. What AI is used for and not.
All I wanted to know was:
1. Did you read somewhere minds is using it for the boosted posts. Apparently you're just guessing.
2. If you're going to be given boosted content, do you really have a problem with some logic used to filter out stuff your likely not interested in?
Conclusion: You have no information to back your claim that minds is using AI to filter the boosted content (not that it would really matter if they did). I wish they were. At least I wouldn't see German and Korean language boosts.
And... Who cares? It's really nothing on minds, especially on mobile, where it's LITERALLY nothing. You have to CHOOSE to see it.
