Why thank you Marsdoll! Anyone can be a critic, my cat was a critic, now lets see my cat create a social network, didnt think so Tim! Didnt think so. It is about 4 years of work so far, just 11 months of planning the design and functionality, and 10 months of crafting my kickstarter campaign. But its ok, ill throw everything i got at my baby:D

ieatrocks

says the guy spouting some super serial shit about 911 because one conspiracy is the same as the next. Not the topic? oh gosh better delete my post! Get called an idiot for posting inane shit unrelated to the discussion, better call the person butthurt.

take your plate of downvoats and your glass of tears and go eat dinner in your room kid.

ieatrocks

good try

I'm calm. Op is a spammer and a professional liar. Your comments were way off base. Have a nice day.

ieatrocks

Let me be 100% clear.

Fuck everyone that preys on the sick with false promises. When you claim to be anti pharma because pharma hurts people for profit with lies the very basic and minimum thing you should then do is not lie to people and hurt them for profit yourself.

And btw fuck you for trying to deflect from that with wildly off topic statements about shit no one is discussing in order to defend him.

The_Westener

There's also Ello.co out there which isn't too shabby.

FriedFood100

Noble goal, very welcomed. In the mean time, try out Diaspora.

maxtothemax

Diaspora is awesome, we are a little different in the sense that we are much more than just a social network. It is a Facebook, Ebay, Reddit, Quora, Meetup, Craigslist, Plenty of fish, Kickstarter, Airbnb, and a lot of other networks combined into one. There is a lot of cool functionality that makes us more of a portal than a social network:)

FriedFood100

Very ambitious, but I like the stated goals. The big thing I always wonder about companies offering "privacy as a feature" is their funding model. What's the long term plan in this regard, while maintaining privacy?

maxtothemax

Well after people input their social security numbers, bank details, credit card numbers, blood type, heart rate, how often they brush their teeth, shoe size, elementary school grade reports, last conversation with your grandma, we are totally private and we totally wont bug you to take a shower daily;p In our case, privacy means that no details will ever be sold, shared or given away, ever, to anyone. And you will never be tracked.

FriedFood100

:D....but seriously, what's the financial plan for such a project?

maxtothemax

At the moment its just me financing this project, hopefully the kickstarter is successful and we can get an awesome first alpha launch. In any case i will keep on funding it myself no matter how much we raise. After that, advertising will bring in revenue to keep on developing it, there are a lot more features i have planned for the portal that will benefit users and group creators. Cryptocurrency/self destructing messaging/private posting/ability to purchase tickets and things with bit coins/a fundraising platform/video platform like youtube etc. etc. Lots of stuff in the works.

FriedFood100

I wish you well towards your stated goals and purpose. Always look out for your users and they'll look out for you. ;)

Thanks! Come say hello on our fb page:)

welp good luck with that.

european

So he's interested in health and is starting a socual network. Id there a problem with that?

maxtothemax

Thank you. I guess there are shills on here too?

european

It is not uncommon to meet people who genuinely are dismissive of anything they deem to be unscientific. To dismiss as shill is a little presumptious since there are people motivated into arguing abd debating out of a sense public good or defending personal beliefs. No doubt it does happen though.

ieatrocks

He sells snake oil to sick people for a living and he's begging for money to do something he has 0 experience with and requires we trust someone with our personal information while the same person in charge is happy to sell you "medical" services that are thoroughly debunked. People DO die from treatable diseases and people who convince them not to seek treatment for personal gain are scum .

european

What snake oil does he sell?

ieatrocks

https://voat.co/v/Conspiracy/comments/836251/4155524 plus the fact that they're starting multiple threads to spam this.

european

There's only 2 threads. He does seem a bit eccentric. Don't be so confident though that unproven or fringe beliefs are wrong even if there is supposedly scientific data saying such.

ieatrocks

I'm not so confident that none of what he does can work. We live in an infinite universe with many possibilities.

But

I AM confident that anyone that makes the sale of such unproven treatments their chosen profession is not trustable.

His entire livelihood is selling treatments that have not been proven to work (though, sure, some might, for some things)

Who knows, maybe there's even an actual use for real snake oil, but I wouldn't base my entire life around it without some kind of proof and I wouldn't tell people it helps them and take their money without having that proof because I have morals.

WarGy

Isn't Diaspora already doing something like this, but decentralized.

maxtothemax

Yes, and no. We are much more than just a social network, we are a portal that unites many other networks into one. Social networking, group and events (with cryptocurrency integration), dating, Q and A, store (ebay style where you open up your own store), and many others.

european

Forgot about diaspora.

Drenki

what garbage, they couldn't even be bothered to write a description. instead there's some lame video i'm not going to watch.

we already have over a dozen of these projects, no explanation why this one is different or better.

maxtothemax

Right under the video there is a big page with a description.

Drenki

This?

This is an invitation to all amazers and creators, mavericks and dreamers, the kindness doers and changemakers, all the good people of our magnificent earth to take part in a global movement for change and freedom.

Risks and challenges

The real risks and challenges we face don't lie in completing this project, but in the problems that we'll face without it.

Sometimes timeline goals are pushed back to bring a product that meets and exceeds development, safety, and user experience goals. But our team is dedicated to bring Miramir to life within the timelines given and make it the best social network on the planet.

This is meaningless drivel.

maxtothemax

Wait, which device are you using to see the page? There's a huge image with the project description, do you see it?

Drenki

There are no images, just that text i quoted. This is on a pc.

maxtothemax

Oh no, there should be a gigantic image with our description, which browser are you using?

Drenki

one with an ad-blocker. Nice going - try to create private social network - track everyone who visits the page. Going to report it again.

european

Why?

Drenki

There is no description of the thing being funded. I reported this project to kickstarter for fraud.

european

What is the fraud? I dont understand.

Drenki

The project describes nothing that will be delivered. It's just a vague call for "dreamers"

These are my friends from all over, i posed to social media, and they are coming to voice their support.

european

Can you link to your social media to verify you are not being deceptive with this excuse?

maxtothemax

Of course! Here is our facebook group fb.com/miramircom and my profile fb.com/massimusm

european

Max. I cannot see any link to this thread. How did your 'friends and suporters' find this thread?

Are you building this site with drupal cms?

maxtothemax

I didn't want to spam, imagine like 50 people coming on here with zero feedback, it would definitely not be cool. I asked a few close friends for their support.

maxtothemax

These are my homies from social networking, some of them have come to help! Im the founder, and here to answer all your questions:)

ieatrocks

Since you're the founder and you're bringing in people from social media you need to be up front about that.

"Hi I'm max and I'm trying to build a new social network, AMA" then ask your friends politely not to simply parrot nice sounding things like this is a facebook post. That makes it (and you) look fake.

Your bio on your site also makes you look like a bullshit peddler. I'm not usually down to believe anyone who makes a living off convincing fools about the power of crystal healing.

maxtothemax

Yep, you're right. But, thankfully, bullshit peddling and crystals are not part of my regimen.

Oh no bullshit here?

In October 2012 Edzard Ernst conducted a systematic review of randomized clinical trials of craniosacral therapy. He concluded that "the notion that CST is associated with more than non-specific effects is not based on evidence from rigorous randomised clinical trials."[26] Commenting specifically on this conclusion Ernst commented on his blog that he had chosen the wording as "a polite and scientific way of saying that CST is bogus."[27] Ernst also commented that the quality of five of the six trials he had reviewed was "deplorably poor," a sentiment prefigured by an August 2012 review that noted the "moderate methodological quality of the included studies."

ok one down how about your certified kinesiology, you're from Ontario, the one of the only places where a person can even claim such a thing.

http://www.coko.ca/index.php/en/find-kinesiologist

But you're not there. Why are you not registered if you're a certified kinesiologist as you claim?

Your books are self published, cost $50-100 for a paperback, and have a small number of mediocre reviews. How can you even delusionally call yourself "author of four bestselling books" I can't even find all 4 no matter how hard I search.

A 2009 meta-analysis of studies in the area of sports medicine and rehabilitation showed best evidence of effectiveness for Manual lymphatic drainage treatment to "enzyme serum levels associated with acute skeletal muscle cell damage as well as reduction of edema [swelling] around broken bones." [6] A 2013 systematic review of manual lymphatic drainage with regard to breast cancer related lymphedema found no clear support for the effectiveness of the intervention in either preventing limb edema in at-risk women or treating women for the condition.[7]

ok, potentially not total bullshit on manual lymph drainage, but no solid evidence to support it either. In a best case scenario it is used to treat swelling and damage after bone breaks.

Don't get me started on NLP, you don't have jedi mind tricks and the only people who believe you do would have believed anything else anyways.

Founded TheICTM.org and LifeFood Organics health food line

Wow that name for your health food line sure seems to be exactly the same as a popular LA restaurant. Sorry I can't find out much about it, since every time I look I just see the results for the restaurant you're trying to piggyback off the success of. As for TheICTM.org Your sections "censorship" "chemtrails" "emf" "fluoridation" "microwaves" and of course "vaccines" under interesting heading are all completely bare. Why not spread some crazy on those pages?

maxtothemax

I remember i posted in a diabetes forum about studies that proved diabetes is reversible with diet, and I got a flood of negativity, I was even compared to some crazy sex pills online. Standard responses from shills. Trying to find anything and everything by attacking the person, and thus to try and discredit the project. Sorry man, wont work here. Check this article out:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/22/1112509/-The-Gentleperson-s-Guide-to-Forum-Spies

ieatrocks

of course something caused by diet can be treated with diet.

calling me a shill though is pretty rich.

who the fuck am I shilling for? facebook? fuck facebook. pharma? fuck pharma, they ought to all be in prison.

just because I'm not buying wholesale into the amazing healing powers of people touching your face for 4 minutes a day to cure cancer doesn't make me a shill. It makes me sane.

For the last time, fuck everyone who preys on the sickly, and fuck people who defend them.

alternative practitioners, faith healers, televangelists, psychic hotlines. All of em as useful as lawyers and lobbyists. Take your deflections and seriously now, fuck off.

OrangeKraken

If I was a powerful manipulated man I'd fund this myself under mutiple accounts and take control over its content before it even gets underway. Release it under the guise of social change and use the free info people post to help take out any resistance, since we're getting it the point where we'll start see people group up.

maxtothemax

Kickstarter does not work like that, funding does not mean you take ownership of the company.

OrangeKraken

Who said anything about ownership? You simply fund the project and have them do what you would like them to do, you're the one keeping the lights on and they're going to listen to you.

People don't need much for encouragement when it comes to selling out.

european

How will the company cover operating costs and profit?

maxtothemax

Drugs of course and selling unicorn hair. I have a business that has been funding the beta up to this point, im a published author so i will be adding my own funds into this project no matter how much we raise.

european

So the business will not generate revenue?

maxtothemax

We will have your regular run of the mill advertising to generate revenue.

european

Regular run of the mill advertising tends to break privacy doesn't it?

Amateur_Wizard

how do you plan on funding it past its initial launch?

maxtothemax

I have my own business, and up to this point have been financing it myself, and will continue to do so no matter how much we raise. Its a big project, and any help really counts.
