Unfortunately, we currently live in an era where we can't rely on our leaders/governments to resolve any major issues peacefully. They always play their little games of politics and care more about preserving their positions of power instead of doing what's best for the majority. There's currently more than 13,000 nuclear warheads stockpiled & ready to be launched at any moment. This issue likely won't be solved by starting a protest & releasing our anger on the properties of business owners who are simply trying to earn a living like the rest of us. Instead we could simply speak up and vote in a peaceful manner to let our leaders/governments know what we really want. But how could we possibly achieve something like this when there are no current platforms built for it?

[redacted] built a system where posts compete against each other & the one that receives the highest score at the end of each day gets archived & saved on our platform forever. In other words, the post that gets archived everyday is in fact the message that was the most agreed upon by the majority. And if we want our leaders/governments to listen to us, all they have to do now is read through the archives on [redacted] and that'll give them a much better idea of what the majority of us want. So if we truly want to show our leaders and governments that we don't want any wars, we don't want nuclear warheads, we want peace & we want our lives to be improved then we can finally demand those things by using [redacted].

Other platforms will often use algorithms to suggest content for you. The suggested content will often be something that can easily anger people because this is what makes people interact and stay on the platform for a longer time. These algorithms are unfortunately always dividing us because they make you think that everyone else on the internet is crazy, stupid and insane. But this is far from reality, most of us are very intelligent, very sane and not crazy at all. To fix this well known issue, we've built a completely new voting system that can finally help us find subjects that we can all agree on instead of always focusing on the subjects that divide us and anger us.

We've also added a new feature called "submissions" which will completely change social media as we know it. By creating a submission, you're decising which features should be implemented or removed from [redacted] (we're the ones that develop it, you simply vote for it). On other platforms, all decisions are taken by a few individuals sitting around a table during a board meeting. But how could a few individuals really know what the majority of us want? These platforms have turned into little dictatorships and it's no wonder why so many people are frustrated about the current direction that these platforms are heading. More information on submissions is provided within the app.

So to summarize, [redacted] is a social platform that lets the majority decide everything. The majority decides which features they want to see implemented or removed from the platform, the majority decides which messages or polls get archived and seen by every other user, the majority decides which subjects/keywords should be trending and seen by every other user, etc, etc. [redacted] is completely free to use, there's barely any ads on our platform, there's no censorship, we fully understand the importance of freedom of expression and we're also prepared to defend it. [redacted] is currently available on both major app stores (Apple App Store & Google Play Store). We'd love for you to give it a try and give us some advice, suggestions, constructive criticism, etc.

Cheers everyone! I'll be here to answer any questions (if there are any).
