Remember ... we can't change anything if we keep supporting those who are taking away our rights and failing to support those who are fighting for them. We need to start making moves like the one described below, especially when it costs us nothing but the effort! :)
The Patriot's Social Network

This is a call to patriots, freedom lovers, and truth seekers.
I know a lot of us are fed up with the censorship that's going on, that we want a way to hold conversations freely, support one another, and stand against tyranny.
Not only that, we know that we need to stop feeding the very forces that try to hold us down and get funding into the hands of those who are doing good, who are getting out the messages we believe in and support.
I have a solution to share with you today. One that doesn't cost a dime. It's a solution not only to speak more freely, but to communicate with more PRECISION. As a writer for most of my professional life, and as an author, speaker, and teacher, I'm passionate about the role of accurate communication, or the exchange of information, which honestly is at the heart of everything from the quantum level to the cosmic. And for sure, it's at the heart of every relationship, from personal to national.
Meanwhile, we have people doing everything they can to muck it all up. So let's look at a solution for more precise communication AND for shifting funds from the global beast to those who deserve our support, including ourselves.
See, there is a new and better social platform building out features not seen anywhere else, which alone makes it pretty exciting. But here are a few keys why I like it as a powerful platform for patriots coming together:

See, there is a new and better social platform building out features not seen anywhere else, which alone makes it pretty exciting. But here are a few keys why I like it as a powerful platform for patriots coming together:
First: Target Your Messages

It's designed to let you target your messages more precisely. For instance, target just friends, or just family, or both. Or just business associates, or just business prospects, or whoever makes the most sense for that exact message.
Later, it will get even more precise, targeting people you're connected to who have specific interests. Think about going to a party where all the people are friends to some degree. There's a good chance you'll share conversations with some of them that you wouldn't share with others, based on interests. Think politics, or spirituality and religion. And so, this platform will allow you to put people into different groups and speak with them in ways that make more sense for you.
(Notice that you can also send your messages to other social media platforms. The post on the other platforms will include a link back to this new platform and, if others join it through that link, they will be connected to you, assisting you in the funding discussed below.)

Second: You Decide What to See
You can also sort your news feed when you only want to hear from friends or family or business colleagues, and eventually from groups like the ones I've described above. You can also sort it to just show posts with images, or videos, or attached files, or search your news feed by keyword. This gives you the flexibility to see what you want, when you want.
Another method of controlling what you see: you're able to dial up or down the importance of any connection in terms of their news posts and their recommendations for products and services. Again, this is more like real life, where you want to hear from some people more often and, in a collective review of something, you would want some people's ratings weighted more heavily than others.

Third: Reducing Shills & Bullies
A lot of civil conversation online is messed up by shills hiding behind fake identities. They want to disrupt. They want to divide. They want to get people angry. They want to plant false information. And this is really easy when you can hide who you are, or operate many online accounts at once. So this new platform will verify people's identities to help us combat this, forcing people into the light, and hopefully getting us back to real conversations with real people, the way we would offline.
Also notice in the image above about posting your messages. You can choose to "Disable Comments" if you don't want people responding to any given post.

Fourth: Funding without Cost or Donations

This is potentially huge for anyone, but especially for those with large communities of followers: this platform can help to fund the kind of people we believe in without costing us anything. How does it do this?
Well, it's free to join like any social platform. But just like the rest, it will be monetized in a number of ways. People will run ads on it. Some people will have pro accounts, like they do on LinkedIn. Stores will enable people to sell their products and services. And so on. Even people just seeing or clicking on ads generates revenue, right?
Other platforms keep all this revenue for themselves, but this one actually shares 10% back with its community based on who they've referred. And look, there's no cost to join or to refer others.
In addition to all the items mentioned above, they are rolling out a payment platform similar to PayPal. It will allow people to take payments not only through this social network, but through any website. Now imagine that you were taking a small piece of every transaction people made through PayPal. Do you see how substantial this kind of funding could become without actually having to sell anything. Or how content creators with thousands of followers could fully fund their operations without having to ask for donations?
Everyone just gets an invitation link that they can use to invite others, so it's totally free to do this.
Since this platform is just coming out of beta in late 2019, you can imagine how many referrals need to be made. Hundreds of millions. And while that means anyone reading this can join and invite their friends and family and earn some monthly income by doing so, content producers with thousands of followers could generate enough to legitimately fund their operations. That's what I'd like to see happen. It's good for all of us, and could eliminate their need to charge for premium content.

For Community Builders
Now, a couple important points for those who want to build a following:
- This company says you will NEVER have to pay to reach your followers. You might remember companies spent tons of money building followers on Facebook and then Facebook changed its algorithms and now only a tiny fraction of followers will see your posts unless you pay up. Of course people who follow a lot of other people and businesses will have busy news feeds; AND they might dial down your importance if you're not providing useful content. But this is between you and them, not the platform.
- Pro accounts can automatically send both email and platform notifications of their most important posts to their followers, ensuring that critical messages get through. And yes, those are paid accounts, although they come with a lot of features; it's not just about getting messages through. But this is nothing like the cost of actually having to advertise to reach your followers.
And by the way ... if you're concerned that you'd get slammed by emails if you follow a lot of pros ... don't worry. Notices are sent as summary emails of spotlight posts (i.e., from more than one pro) that were sent to you in the previous day.
Now, I'm not going to cover everything else this platform will become. There are other elements here involving blockchain and payment systems, both of which add to the revenue possibilities. There's a CRM system for managing business contacts, a file storage system, they're working on groups, business pages, stores, articles, and a whole lot more.
But you can see that the key here is precise and open communication and funding shifted from the platforms we're NOT fans of to the people we ARE fans of. But this shift won't happen if we keep using and supporting the other platforms. We have to start deciding, one at a time, to make the move, until eventually it becomes a mass migration and we fully build up our community in a new location that makes more sense for who we are.
Joining & Connecting
So now, if you choose to join, I invite you to look me up (Steve McCardell) and connect with me there. I'll network with anyone who joins through my invitation link, as well as anyone who's contributing positive content about the people and the world we want to become. You can find my invitation link below.
Once you join, please, look for your own invitation link and begin inviting others. Friends and family, of course, but also make sure to let your favorite content creators know about this and invite them. Let them know we want to follow their content here.
In short, I can't grow this community on my own, but I want the community to grow. That means we all play a role in this. I look forward to the conversations we can have and the good that we can promote ... together.
