How is MeWe Going For You?

For my part I've been quite enjoying it, particularly the Groups.

I've joined a number of groups and there does seem to be a fair amount of activity always going on. It's not as easy to keep track of everything as on a forum, or am I missing something?

Like some others, I preferred the G+ interface, but I am only in the DCC group and haven't fully developed an opinion on how I feel. So far, just in the realm of DCC, it currently rates below Discord and Reddit, but above Facebook and Twitter. Probably as useful to me, for what I want, as GG's forums. As of now, it has a spot in my rotation.

I never really went to G+ but tried MeWe. It's poopy and I'll tell you why. Another person and I helped someone make a custom cover page for someone else for a pdf they wanted to print out. Both of us came up with cool covers. Try and find them now. Even if I could remember what game it was for. I had a devil of a time finding the 'thread' several weeks later, let alone months later. If I posted it here, it would be found almost instantly and available for anyone that wanted it. MeWe is so far from what I use the blogs and boards for, I dropped out a long time ago.

This is a common problem with social networks because they want you to forget old content so you create new content. In addition, #Facebook will arbitrarily hide and delete posts, #Twitter is full of discussions which might disappear the next day, #GooglePlus had no way to link to specific replies in a thread, and #Medium's discussion format was written by a masochist and is impossible to follow.

About the only ones which don't pull any of this shit are #Reddit, and classic forums like this, which is why I use them.

If MeWe is run by Democrats...

Is it? It's founder is a libertarian type guy who's obsessed with internet privacy.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1091821How many people here are on MeWe? How do you think of it as a replacement for the G+ gaming scene?

I think it's doing better than I expected, there's a lot of good stuff there, especially in my groups!

I just added you. Apparently I signed up a while back but I’ve never used it.

Great, thanks! Hope you'll start checking it out now; especially the groups.

I went there and it seems it's mostly stupid memes and links to blogs I already read. I don't need MeWe to keep up with blogs, so big shrug.

It may be useful when I delete my Facebook.

It's ok I guess. Not really using any other social media platforms.
Subscribed to Arion Games and Necrotic Gnome and they seem decent.
More of a meh than a wow.
Still a big fan of the forum frame work as a source for information and discussion but I can see the draw of a social media platform for a more interactive chatting experience.
