MeWe: The Safe Network

I first joined MeWe when it first came on line— but did not stick with it— mostly because I couldn’t figure out how to use it— but also because very few of my friends were on it. I pretty much left and returned to “familiar” Facebook, which, by this time, was heavily manipulating the “main feed” as well as censoring basically anything that did not fit the narrative and ideals of Zuckerman. I went through a series of Facebook “incarcerations”— first a couple of 24 hr “jail stints”, then a couple of 3-day bans, a week long ban, and now I’m finishing up the last five days of a THIRTY DAY ban on Facebook— and thank goodness it was this that sent me BACK to MeWe and how I discovered that it’s either been improved—OR— I was forced to “learn” it. I have reconnected with friends that I didn’t know had left Facebook for MeWe. I plan to stick with MeWe even when Zuckman and his goonies let me out of jail— and Facebook will only be used to see posts from my family. I will invite my friends that have wondered where I’ve been (we were still able to stay in touch by Messenger) and let them know if they still want to see the posts of mine they have always enjoyed— they will find them ONLY on MeWe! And in addition to MeWe— I now RARELY use Google for my search engine! Got tired of every product I ever searched— ending up on my Facebook feed! And— I enjoy that on MeWe— I am NOT constantly told to “go get vaccinated “!

I’ve started a group with a friend but am pulling out my hair trying to get the mechanics to work. Would be members are supposed to answer one of four questions we posted as a condition precedent to being accepted. I m to have the power to say yea or nay. So far, I’ve not seen a single answer and can find no instructions as to how I can find them and make this feature work. Needless to say, getting new members has been very difficult. I’m also extremely frustrated with the photo upload feature that works only part time for me. I have thousands of photos stored in various folders on my IPad. I need to be able to access them to illustrate my MeWe posts posts EASILY, but MeWe won’t let me get to them in any file other than some MeWe photo storage file called “recent.” Only on rare and inconsistent occasions has MeWe allowed me to choose the file from my iPad photo app from which I wish to upload a photo, attach it to a comment, and do so. The only written help I’m finding published by MeWe on this problem simply does not work! I signed up for a premium membership for which you will begin to charge me. But if I can’t get help/fixes for these two problems I will not be sticking with you for much longer - notwithstanding how much I’ve grown to detest Facebook for its growing content censorship and management’s political viewpoint.

The platform is great itself as a great alternative to Facebook who wants a safe haven from ads and publicity and connect to people who they want. The app itself is quite buggy especially the Stories. Uploading videos shrinks down to 60-70% and adds a green background on my uploaded video. Sending a video is impossible on Chat. We can't mute chat threads especially groups as its getting annoying. It would be awesome if we could hide annoying chat threads and can be seen anytime we want on a different tab. Create new post button is annoying as it can't be moved making reactions on bottom posts of the screen impossible. It would be awesome if we have tagging contacts to a post possible, associating them into a post appearing also into their timeline if they accept being tagged on. The platform itself is quite dry and it should add more ideas to keep people associate themselves more into the platform to gain more users not just being private alone. This platform has a lot of potential, it's just that everything's aint planned well. I hope for more updates to come soon in the future and fix future bugs. Make your costumer/help support more accessible as feedback feature doesnt give any care about our concerns. Listen to people if you want to evolve. Thanks!
