Terminate my Website?
Good evening wonderful people,
I'm making today this post in order to see and understand what is missing from our website and we cant find a good amount of beta testers.
My team and I have created and are constantly developing a free social network platform named Westeria, which for the time being does not include any premium services. It will be hosting all kind of interests, passions and hobbies with absolutely no filters. It is a place where we want to promote freedom of speech and diversity, including all sort of topics - varying from the most to the least mainstream ones - all being treated equally, as each opinion and view matters. We endeavor to tackle major issues that social media are faced with nowadays, through state-of-the-art and innovative tools, since modern problems require modern solutions!
In today's ever-evolving digitized environment, most communities suffer from 2 major problems:
They are not easily discoverable.
Moderation is extremely harsh, leaving the average user powerless.
Our mission is to democratized the social media industry by giving the control back to people.
Please let us know what you find interesting about our website and on the other hand what you think is missing or it is badly made.
Thank you in advance!
I don't understand what this graphic is trying to convey:
I think this is a really interesting idea. What you need is to reach out to a niche group (but not right-wing nutjobs) that can build a community on your site. E.g. when fb first started, it was limited to Harvard, then only to other universities before making it available to the rest of the world.
Word of mouth is your best bet. It would be nice if you could find a community leader who'd be willing to setup a group on the site and do the recruiting to get the particular community going. Community members with other interests could then create their own communities and start their own recruitment efforts and so on.
Having said all that, I don't think this is for me. I don't even have time to manage my FB and twitter accounts.
ALl the best!
Thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciated.
I think you pinpoint some really helpful tips for our team, that can really help us grow our website.
Best,
Periclis
