  1. Re:Minds vs Steemit on Interviews: Ask Social Network Minds.com CEO and Founder Bill Ottman a Question · · Score: 2

    Content on Minds is split between feed/groups/blogs whereas Steemit is Twitter without word limits. Also Steemit is designed such that you can never change your password.

  2. Re:I think I See a Possible Flaw. on Interviews: Ask Social Network Minds.com CEO and Founder Bill Ottman a Question · · Score: 2

    Early on you could simply pay Minds directly for tokens. This was only removed because of ideological disagreements with Paypal and Stripe. Also you can send tokens to other users. Back then the receiver could cash out received tokens. All of that said users with premium accounts can simply turn off boosted content.

  3. Re:New Social Media or No Social Media? on Interviews: Ask Social Network Minds.com CEO and Founder Bill Ottman a Question · · Score: 2

    While I do like minds I must say that the content dropped in quality enormously when links got embedded previews. Before that you had to write something interesting to gain a lot of attention, afterwards click-bait has become extremely common. Also bots are already an ongoing problem. Though it can be a little difficult telling them apart from the flood of new Vietnamese users from a while back.

  4. Re:It's All About The Bottom Line on Can Facebook Keep Large-Scale Misinformation From the Free World? (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not conviced that the mainstream social media companies understand the notion of profit and loss. They keep driving users to alt-tech.

  5. NATO connection on Can Facebook Keep Large-Scale Misinformation From the Free World? (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook's standards are set by the Atlantic Council (http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/) think tank. I doubt they are going to treat peace makers of either the left or right favourably.

  6. Re:Still about the last mile on Cord Cutting Accelerates as Pay TV Loses 1 Million Customers in Largest-Ever Quarterly Loss (usatoday.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Alwin was endorsing government ownership. That's far from deregulation.
