Westeria

Our idea! My team and I have created and are constantly developing a free social network platform named Westeria, which for the time being does not include any premium services. It will be hosting all kind of interests, passions and hobbies with absolutely no filters. It is a place where we want to promote freedom of speech and diversity, including all sort of topics - varying from the most to the least mainstream ones - all being treated equally, as each opinion and view matters. We endeavor to tackle major issues that social media are faced with nowadays, through state-of-the-art and innovative tools, since modern problems require modern solutions! The problem? In today's ever-evolving digitized environment, most communities suffer from 2 major problems: They are not easily discoverable. Moderation is extremely harsh, leaving the average user powerless. The solution? Westeria connects communities and it gives their members the power they deserve by offering: Easy and simple navigation among related topics with a soon-to-be launched revolutionary tagging system, for the users to discover intriguing communities they never knew existed. Split ownership among its users, so THEY can decide what is good for the community and what is not. Thus, making public authorities, like moderators redundant. Still not convinced? Well Westeria also offers the following features (with a lot more to follow): Users can navigate between similar topics, based on their search and activity. Cross-posting to multiple communities while keeping the same comment section. The user's feed is greatly enhanced, as it is easier to discover communities similar to his/her interests and needs. Each user can vote for an action (for example a post) to be rejected or agreed. An action can be a take-down of a post. The strength of each user's vote is calculated based on his activity on the community. Heavy focus on communication between the members of a community. Heavy focus on the chatting system.
