After my 7 months of active engagement here, spouting everyday, this thread is my first GENERAL ASSESSMENT of Spoutible in relation to some people's complaints.
I assure you, I am going to be honest. Maybe some of you will not like it. Well! we're adults, we can agree to disagree. ✌️

Please be patient and read to the end before you reply.
Let's go!
I have been here since the first day, and I have spouted good, excellent, and exciting spouts, and a lot of people have attested to this. Check my timeline.
I am not one of those who are negative about Spoutible

As you can see, I love it here, and I am having fun with you guys. I believed in this platform from day one, and I think that Bouzy and his team have done a really good job in a short time and with limited resources.
However, a few things that people are complaining about are true

-- Is it generally too political? To some extent, YES

But these two characteristics don't make it a bad platform, or unwelcoming; on the contrary, it can be a good democrats platform. Why not? These don't mean that people who don't like to...

If your spout is exciting, you’ll get interactions.
Ironically, the people spouting politics also want to laugh and read exciting threads. Everywhere, people generally love to laugh, irrespective of what they are going through.

if you don't like a spout, you can still engage like adults do, ignore it, or just make use of your mute and block buttons. You don't get to tell people what to say on social media, and this is also for the Democrats on this platform.

Group conversation is part of what social media is all about.

Another complaint is that people always queue to group attack other people who don't agree with them politically.
I think that this is bit complicated, and there is no point trying to deny it.
I personally don't engage in politics because the only thing that gets me overly emotional & agitated..

on social media is politics. If you tell me to vote for a convicted man who is a confirmed racist and publicly said you can "grab women by the pussy", I will be angry with you as well.
That said, people here need to start engaging with people who disagree with their political opinions constructive

screen-shot people spouts because you don't like it and post on your timeline to set them up for attacks from your group. It is a despicable behaviors, and that is actually trolling personified
If you think an account is a troll, report it and let the Spoutible team handle it from there. Simple.

common part of life. Even twins that lived in the same womb for several months and were born on the same day by the same mother disagree.
Not all the time someone disagrees with you on this platform; you’ll be arguing and agitating. Sometimes, ignore it and go drink two glasses of water.

If someone or group of people are not happy with you on Spoutible, your body will be happy with you for drinking water. Drink water. Come back and drop another beautiful spout.🤣

As for people complaining that no one is engaging their spouts, well, that has absolutely nothing to do with the platform but everything to do with you.
Spoutible is not Twitter. It is different in many ways. In my opinion, what you need to do is study what the people getting the engagement here...

Also, it is worthy to note that this platform is just 7 months old with very few people, and a large number of those people are from the USA and Canada, with substantial numbers of those people rightfully invested in America....

politics, LGBT, and just issues happening in their backyards. You cant blame the for that. Politics affect people and it is critical in people's life.
Also, there are people who are mostly interested in cats and dogs, some are interested in flowers, some foods, and, there is the Sussex Squared.🤣

and get it moving.
As long as it does not contravene Spoutible RULES & POLICIES, you are free to decide what you want to be on Spoutible; however, you cannot decide that people must like what you are. No social media works that way.
It is more, but I am not about to write a book about Spoutible.😅

Overall, the reality is that Spoutible has improved tremendously since its launch in February, and it will obviously continue improving.
Find your group on the timeline, spout, improve your engagement, and continue improving.

Such a needed message at this point in the platform’s life cycle. Seeing posts from people frustrated with lack of engagement , engagement that doesn’t meet their expectations or challenges them to think about their spouts is confusing given the carefully curated culture of this place. Thank you!

This is a great thread. The only issue is a lot of people who do come on here with contrarian thoughts and ideas usually are trolls. I won't say bots, but definitely human trolls. We shouldn't engage but screen shots to warn users they are likely trolls is OK imo.

I find it really odd that some people think it’s too political here… I don’t think it’s political enough! 😹 I’ve only been active here for a couple months & have already seen lots of improvements. I think cbouzy & crew are doing a great job & I’m excited to see how Spoutible grows

This is a fantastic thread, Ola; thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write and post it! Though I've long agreed with every word of it without knowing it, your piece reminds me of some important things that I allow to slip and shouldn't.
I'm so glad you're here.
