Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. You can only contact them by email; there is no phone number. They say they'll refund you and then make an excuse why they "can't."
  • It is a nice convent platform for podcast. I have enjoyed using it for almost 2+ years to listen daily to the Gerry Callahan show.
  • The user interface is fantastic. It has the feel of a slim Facebook without the ads, the manipulation by algorithm, etc. It's a great way to support the creators you love.

Cons

  • No phone number. "Support" is a joke. They lie about refunding you.
  • When the podcast I listened to every day stoped presenting because of the host's illness I could not get my money back.
  • Honestly: nothing. Of course more features would be welcome. But it’s a startup and they are moving fast.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There is really no easier platform to publish written material and quality images than Minds.com . Creating blogs is as easy as creating a post, replies are easy and it's a great way to get feedback.
  • Minds is a free speech platform. You can earn crypto and boost your content. Great for content creators.
  • The interface is pretty easy to use and after several years the rewards became somehow valuable - Minds is probably one of the very first social media platforms focusing on crypto which took a while to really implement.
  • I tried Minds several years ago. It had a lot of potential. I only came back to Minds recently after having a very bad experience on Hive. Minds is a pretty good place to share your memes.
  • Alternative to Facebook as looked similar and could go there whenever was on a ban. Would be on there now if I hadn't been deleted.

Cons

  • It needs work on allowing multiple images in a thread and inserting videos. I'm not a user of its online community / chat features I use it to read and post to which I do often.
  • Not sure that there is a whole that I don't like. If there is problems, they seem to work on them pretty quickly.
  • Pretty hard to create relations and I am still not sure how to engage best within the groups there. It took a bit long until the tokens got value, at least it became after years an Ethereum token. Not that easy to cash out though.
  • Minds seems to be taken over by Conspiracy theories and Right Wing Politics. There doesn’t seem to be a way to earn a good amount of crypto. If you are just a normal person Minds seems to be saturated with Pro Trumpers.
  • No help from any admins whatsoever despite replying to every email accusing me of spamming.
