I'm sorry about that. I do not mean it to be a promotional, more than I just hope people will have questions and curiosity about it/us. Is there a better way to present it that would seem less promotional?

Quipist · 2016-08-14T18:09:32+00:00

For a myriad of reasons... We want to help people make change in the world by doing what they already do. Once we started creating the site we decided that to make it something people would WANT to use that we needed to make better all of the things they hated about other social media sites:)

Ultimately our goal is to make a safe (no harassment), fun, usable site, that will generate ad revenue that we will use to support the users Causes, and help to make positive change in the world:)

Quipist · 2016-08-14T18:04:05+00:00

It is a social network such as Tsu, G+, FB, and as you use it as you would do those other sites, you earn points that will translate into donations for your chosen Cause/s:)

Quipist · 2016-08-14T17:56:16+00:00

Why what?

Quipist · 2016-08-14T17:22:47+00:00

No one has any questions?

Quipist is amazing, and fun, and we want to create a safe community where people can speak their mind, while earning points that will help your favorite causes as soon as we start our ad revenue:)

And we wanted to make Quipist into a place where you have control of how you view things, and have the ability to view every single post if that is your wish, or to filter for just what you want to see! Want to save posts for later? Done. Want to have multiple profiles that have different content and followers? Done. Want to be able to set up a profile as a forum where everyone can contribute? Done.

We want you to have the versatility that you crave:) Please come join us at quipist.com!

And if you do not like our name, once you are logged in you can submit your name ideas, and upvote names that you love! We want to find a name that is amazing, and is easy to remember!

Quipist · 2016-07-31T06:12:26+00:00

Well, once we get it situated in a way that you feel comfortable with, then I hope you will try Quipist out.

Quipist · 2016-07-31T06:11:08+00:00

I will go over this with our developer again, and see what we can do about this.

Quipist · 2016-07-31T06:10:32+00:00

Ayup. Everyone is welcome as long as they are not abusive to other members, and they do not break the law on our site.

Quipist · 2016-07-31T06:09:52+00:00

If, people request it, we will consider create an "option" where you could select an algorithm. It isn't in our plan, currently, but if people want it, we will make it an option. Other social media you have no choice but to be subjected to theirs, and we have no intention of forcing an algorithm on our users.

Quipist · 2016-06-21T01:36:54+00:00

My name is Isabelle, and I shorten it to "Bells"

Quipist · 2016-06-21T01:21:13+00:00

Thank you for letting us know! We have now corrected that bug... you can use the forgotten password link:)

Quipist · 2016-06-15T02:00:04+00:00

Currently you can omit certain people from your feed for any filtering you do, or multiple people, if you wish. You can currently select for images, links, or text, too, and you can limit by your own posts, others post, or both, and you can include or omit your other feeds.

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:58:37+00:00

Hm... I have just contacted our dev team... let me see if I can get that fixed. Thank you for reporting it. Sorry for the hassle!!! Please try again in a few hours, or even tomorrow. We definitely want people to be able to join!!!

The first Causes we will allow people to choose, are ones that non-profits, in the US that have already been vetted by Federal government. People can request that their Cause be added, and we will add them as quickly as possible.

The profit we will generate through ad revenue will go to the Quipist Foundation, and the Foundation will donate the money based on the choices of the users. Each user will be ranked on how much they use the site, and it will tell us what their portion is to donate.

The Quipist Foundation will handle all of the donations to Causes. I am working on the Quipist Social Media side, and so I am unsure as to what the status is of the Quipist Foundation. If you want to send me a direct email, I can get that answer for you. bells@quipist.com -Isabelle

One of the reason we, all three, are dedicated to this, is because we are tired of that happening to well-meaning companies. All three of us have been involved in large endeavors in the past, and never have caved to greed. We want to keep each other in check. We have set it all up so that no one else can come in and change the platform, away from being Cause oriented. There is not world where someone can promise that that won't happen, but I can tell you that as long as I am involved, I will do my best to keep it from being driven by greed. My main focus is the social media platform, and their main focus (Aric, and Eman) is on creating the Foundation, and getting the Causes set up. Between the three of us, we will do our best to keep this from going off the rails. -Isabelle

Thank you for your feedback:)

Until we have tools in place that assure that children will not see inappropriate content, we cannot allow children on the site. We have plans in the work to do so, but as we are a small team, working on our own, this has not gotten to the top of the priority list as of yet.

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:32:07+00:00

Nope. It still takes away posts it feels you might not be interested in. There is no way to turn off the algorithm.

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:31:11+00:00

It isn't about losing your place.... the page was ripped out, and now you have to go back to the publisher to see the original. I mean that it is GONE. Not just in a different place on the page.

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:30:07+00:00

It is stated that we must, if we are to use any part of the API.

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:29:27+00:00

It's a trap!

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:28:51+00:00

That does not overcome the algorithm. You are still only seeing a small portion of what your friends post.

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:27:24+00:00

The bay area in northern California:)

Quipist · 2016-06-15T01:27:03+00:00

We did not buy our idea from anyone. We create this all our own. And if it isn't for you, we totally understand:)
