I'm going to hear this from all my G+ friends who tried to warn me: "I TOLD YOU SO".

I'm going to hear this from all my G+ friends who tried to warn me: "I TOLD YOU SO".

I joined MeWe in December after hearing the news of G+ shutting down. I joined MeWe despite warnings about all the extremists and societal rejects of all sorts. I thought, the space is surely big enough to accommodate moderate mainstream liberal politics, right? WRONG.

While MeWe claims they don't shadow ban, it's a big fat lie. Our humble little liberal politics group, is very active and growing, as were a number of other liberal and progressive politics groups. I just did a search for our group and it no longer is searchable. Up until a couple of weeks ago it was searchable. I searched for other liberal groups and there are only a couple still remaining out of gajillions of extremist political groups.

It turns out that all one has to do is report a group for whatever made up reason and MeWe automatically removes your group from being searchable, thus starving the group from growing. One would have to have the link to share the group.

Their feedback and support are useless. They don't notify the owner of any complaints, they just make you disappear. No way to arbitrate.

So when you hear that MeWe is a wasteland of nazis and white nationalists and other angry cretins, it is by design. It is true. And I humbly hang my head in shame for thinking we moderate Plussers could make a difference.

On the bright side, I am so thrilled to have found Youme as an alternative. I wish Jamez great success. I'm confident the Youme site will be much improved over any of the crap platforms out there.
