Xylen Roberts · @xylenroberts · 23m · Edited It started out all about free speech and now its ended up a big corporate business. If people will recall, Facebook started out the same way. In 5 years, Minds will be unrecognizable in much the same way. The site has been gradually going downhill for a few years now: Now the Help desk (which used to be completely open) is privatized; Boosts don't go through half the time (the 'Backlog' excuse is frequent); the Discovery is nothing but big wigs everyone already knows and therefore don't need to 'discover' (InfoWars, Tim Pool, etc.) and in PLENTITUDE I might add plus mostly memes, purty pictures etc. True Indie DIY content creators, musicians, videomakers, comedians (non memesters basically) etc. are no where to be seen on Discovery. I could go on and on. There are better alternatives such as World Truth MX, although that site is far too populated by Nazis for my taste, though if enough people migrate over, we could make it better. For instance, ANY post anyone posts, no matter who they are, is shown to everyone on the Newsfeed no matter what (unless they are blocked or vice versa). Compare that to Minds charging you for Boosts that don't go anywhere half the time. Its a fucking business now and steadiliy becoming more corrupt and if they keep pulling shit like this stuff with Plus, eventually more folks will realize it.
