Minds

Minds is a free, open-source platform for launching digital brands, social networks, and mobile apps. It operates as a social network and is available in both decentralized and centralized versions. The platform, co-founded by Bill Ottman, supports free speech and offers features like Blogs, Channels, Groups, and Videos. Users can monetize their posts, either through monthly financial support from other users or the Ad Sharing program. Payments can be made via cash, Bitcoin, credit cards, or through Swipe.com.

Minds also has a “Boost” feature, allowing users to exchange points for more views. It supports private chats, and users can earn points by voting, commenting, uploading, and swiping. Users can find local people and brands, vote on content, subscribe to channels, match with users for chat, and share status updates, photos, and videos. The platform ensures content reaches all subscribers and allows users to curate a news feed, search for media, see global trends, and share to other social networks. Minds is the world’s first free, open-source social network mobile app.
