    Used it a while back, like a couple of years ago. Don’t even remember my user information. Was not a good fit for me, personally.

    Hi Jeanette,
    Thanks for contributing to the discussion by commenting. I didn’t realize the site was that old. Some people may find they like it so it’s good people know their options.

      Hello Janice,

      I want MeWe to have a dark background or theme. I noticed your comment to Jeanette is grey. Is there a way to have grey background in MeWe?

        You have to pay to have any extras. They don’t seem to be much, but they aren’t free.

        Hi Arthur,
        I’m sorry I never responded. You liked the gray background in which I replied to a commenter on my blog. My technical helper Phillip Dews built me a custom theme. If you are interested, let me know and I’ll give you his contact information.

      You, like far FAR too many other MeWe “members”, are not actually using the platform. Perhaps I am ignorant of MeWe’s potential, but I visited your profile and found nothing more than a couple of nice pictures and some biographical details. If there is anything positive about that, at least you put in a little bit of effort to personalize your profile.

      Join MeWe! Just don’t use it. 6 million members doesn’t mean anything if those members just fill out a form and ignore it!
      I joined. I use it frequently. I love the concept and promote -Push!- MeWe on my FB account. Get Active!!

        After using mewe, I deleted it. It was full of people that spread hate, post illegal stuff and a lot of cyberbullying (is like that all people that want to hurt others are on mewe). So women unfriendly. That such platform is promoted

          Hi Sheila,
          I was sad when I read your comments. I am sorry you had such negative experiences at MeWe.
          As a blogging tips blogger, I try to let people know about new possibilities they can take advantage of on the internet.
          Your comments made me think about whether providing awareness equals providing a recommendation.
          That said, I use MeWe regularly and I have never had your negative experiences. I am guessing it’s because I only post content in groups I’m familiar with. I like the link from MeWe. If I had problems, I wouldn’t return to the groups.
          Thanks for letting my readers know about the negative side to MeWe.

            After reading “Sheila’s” February 2, 2020 post, I just couldn’t help but wonder….was she on MeWe, or did she log into her Facebook account?
            .
            While I’ve been a member of FB and MeWe for many years, I was bullied by once in all of the years I’ve been a member of MeWe. My grandpa, former Army soldier and SID Investigator, stepped in and solved the issue in a matter of days. Bobb the bully is long gone.
            .
            I’ve NEVER suffered any of what Sheila writes about. We even run a “Self Taught Photographer’s” group (https://mewe.com/join/self-taught_photographers), and we have RULES! They are very specific and very, very strict. You agree to follow them or you’re declined – period.
            .
            It’s sad Sheila had such a poor experience and deleted her MeWe account. Without knowing the facts and ensuing communications it’s impossible to know what happened to cause that situation. As grandpa has said: “everyone will tell you there is ‘the’ TRUTH and only the truth. Which in itself is a LIE. Others will tell you there are only two sides to a story.” Again, he will tell you that is also a LIE.
            .
            In all situations there are three sides to any truth and three sides to any story. This gave me pause when he first said it to me. After all, everyone knows there are only TWO sides to anything, or so I thought. I’ve since gained more respect for him and opened my mind to see, hear and learn, rather than accept what was taught to me as a child, as being the only way.
            .
            Have I kept you in suspense long enough? Do you want to gain insight just as I did? Here it is, in your face! The misconception of two sides is a lie and I’m about to explain how this is true.
            .
            First, there is MY truth. The story as I want it told. Second, is YOUR truth. The way YOU want to be perceived – hero, victim, etc. Then, there is the last truth. The one based NOT on feelings, emotions, personal beliefs or opinions. The only one that counts, is the TRUTH based on neutral, proven, imperial facts and only the facts. No emotions, feelings, personal bias or prejudices. Just cold as steel, in your face facts.
            .
            Think about the word HISTORY. By itself it’s harmless. Look closer and you begin to see the lie. History or HIS STORY. The events of the past based not on facts, but conjecture. To the victor go the spoils, is a phrase I have heard many times over. So, who writes the story about our past? Well, the VICTORS, (or conquerors as grandpa puts it), of battle of course.
            .
            When I read about Sheila’s issues on MeWe I couldn’t help but think about which truth I was reading. I’ll leave all of you to decide. I’m a woman, on MeWe and have had only ONE person in more than 4 years dare attack me on MeWe. Then again, I’m a member of very few groups and those groups have values similar to ours.
            .
            Oh, and just to update everyone, I found the following article about MeWe posted February 5, 2020:

            Hi Alexa,
            Thank you for coming by and defending your article. My experience is like yours: I use the groups and I have never had a problem.

            Thanks Janice.
            .
            We’ve had a pretty hard time here. In Aug 2015, we were hit by our first SUPER typhoon (sustained winds exceed 150 mph), and shortly thereafter, the owner/landlord raised rent rates by “note” under the door (knowing no one could move).
            .
            In Oct 2018, we were hit by our second SUPER typhoon. Right at the same time, yep, you guessed it, the owner/landlord threatened to throw everyone out if they didn’t accept his “note” rent increases – again. And where would we go exactly? We hadn’t recovered from #1.
            .
            Wouldn’t you know it, Oct 2019, our third SUPER typhoon hit and yep, another “note” with a threat to evict. No increase this time. Just get out by Halloween. These acts and veiled threats are illegal in the US. So, grandpa and I had enough. January 27, 2020 we filed a suit hoping to expose and stop all of this garbage. Win or lose, this man’s actions will become part of the public record. ALL of his ‘under-the-table’ dealings from 2015 through the end of the suit will be put on the docket, provided the court accepts our initial petition (grandpa is former SF and Army SID Investigator).
            .
            And what about all of our landlord/owner’s ‘note-style’ rent increases he very likely didn’t report as income..what do you suppose the IRS will think about that?
            .
            It’s been a struggle and a huge battle these last four years. FEMA declared Saipan a “national disaster” and reported it would take 15 years or more to fully rebuild, assuming NO more storm damages occur in that time frame. They also reported 97.3% total property losses and damages that will cost more than $$$$ 9.5 BILLION DOLLARS! When I walk through town I see homes and businesses from 2015, still lying in rubble right where they were erased.
            .
            So, where exactly are we to move? Oddly enough, after each typhoon hit, the surviving building owners & landlords increased rent rates, exponentially. I’m talking 2,3, and even 4 times pre-typhoon rates. Price gouging much?
            .
            Like all of the islanders here, we’ll fight and move forward as best we can. The one truly glaring issue in all of this: There are NO tenant-landlord or real estate lawyers on Saipan. We looked as far away as Hawaii. NONE for the Mariana Islands. A world tourist & vacation location with hotels, motels, rental houses and apartment buildings and ZERO expert lawyers in these fields. I mean, WHAT?
            .
            MeWe has been my refuge and place of solitude in all of this, well – crap! Without my ‘Self Taught Photographers Group,’ my grandpa and a few internet movies/TV shows, I would’ve crumbled long ago.
            .
            Great you’re still blogging out here. I keep sharing my experiences on MeWe with others and I’m continuously getting updates from others that read, and have been encouraged by my initial article. Keep moving forward and the dust won’t stick!

            Hi Alexa,
            That is a beautiful testimonial as to why we need social media sites like MeWe.
            Janice

          • Alexa Shaw

            Thanks Janice,

            We’ve enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, our time on MeWe. We’ll keep posting and sharing here and on MeWe and, in spite of the long road ahead, we’ll do our best to help others find their way, so they too, can reap the benefits of social networking without interfering commercial advertising.

            We’re also doing our best to restructure our websites (when time allows), to allow easier access for those individuals that simply must use a phone rather than a computer. Our images will NOT, however, be reduced in size. They will always remain 1600px or more. For the immediate future, we’re doing our best to find a new home for our business and us. That takes priority. We hope to win our Court action but one never knows these days.

            Enjoy and for those that live in the north, try to keep indoors and stay active. Keep out of the cold – wait for Spring!

    I really like Mewe, finding groups can take a fair bit of time and only because there are so many and even more sub groups, the privacy is outstanding, and the people there are nothing like the rude and ignorant type you run into on Facebook or on Google+ also don’t have to worry about strangers being offended by what you say or your content and reporting you, there are no friend suggestions so you are anonymous until you personally add someone to your list, I blog adult content and photo adult content, no fear of a minor finding my Mewe page or any of my content, this truly is social media at the next level, I have been migrating my FB to Mewe and will be dumping FB shortly

    I joined and I’m already not impressed. Two of the groups I signed up with had SPAM posts (with inappropriate pictures) front and center within the first 15 minutes of my being on the site.

    The idea is fine, but unless people moderate their groups better, then it will be rendered totally useless almost immediately!

    WOW! Janice,

    Thanks so much for posting my review on MeWe. Its been a bit hectic around here of recent days – Grandpa’s “Brad Nailer” is dying a slow & grizzly death. He’s been running around like a chicken without a head! It’s hilarious. So many projects for the office, apartment and some photography projects he’d like to get done before summer and his favorite nail gun wants die. He’s ordered a new one, but..

    I’m really glad some of my words have helped others. As for the person that ran into “PORN” I can only add, “you should have looked before you clicked.” Yes, adult pages exist on MeWe – kinda goes along with the whole “privacy” thing, yes? We’ve been here for 2+ years and have NEVER received SPAM or PORN. We check every profile BEFORE accepting or approving – period. As for the SPAM, once again, looking before clicking that subscribe or join button may prevent that.

    And for the nice gentleman with the pleasant comments on my review, I’m NOT a man – I’m a WOMAN, thus the name AlexA with an ‘A’ at the end. Easy mistake. You should see it when Grandpa gets referred to as – yep, a woman. You could probably cook eggs on his forehead. You would think with a name like CRAIG people would know, but then again it’s all about looking AND seeing – yes?

    I’m really glad I could help people find a new social media home. Thanks to everyone for leaving those wonderful comments. And thanks again, Janice, for asking me to write about MeWe. It’s been a long time since I actually wrote something longer than replies like this one. Oh, and I fixed part of our website and put some random pics up for viewing. Still working on getting that ransomware completely out of our system, especially our NAS.

      Deae Alexa,

      Thanks for your view.

      In essence, under normal conditions it is correct as most people want to use MEWE as what it is meant for. This is the surface, underneath the surface there is more.
      As I am (model) photographer i thought MEWE was nice to help my business, But I stopped it, due to my experience and several of my models. Since then I did some research and spoke with several people on about their experience. I got over thousands of screenshots since then of what some experience on MEWE, and it goes from child p*** to revenge p***, photos copied from Instagram, Onlyfans, even with clear copyright signs on the photos to racial slur against certain populations of people. Groups specially set up for revenge p*** and adding as much as possible people then inviting the girls to the group so they can make fun of it. They post girls private information, fb accounts so they can be harassed, blackmailed (all with screenshots out of mewe). Those girls report what they can but mewe is not acting and if so those cyberbullies can make new with same email address, etc.
      Like you said, the admin or creator play an essential role, but if they want to allow such things, options in mewe is limited. Do you know how some of these girls feel if they see their children being posted in revenge porn groups that are not being taking offline by mewe for over 6 months and family are being informed on this as it is also published in those groups? Girls are taking their lives because of such things. When that was posted in a group, they laughed about it in these groups
      If we talk about privacy, what privacy are we talking about, privacy of a victim or the 1 posting? As Facebook is restricting this, so those cyberbullies turn to MEWE as they feel safe in MEWE and think they can do, post and say anything they want.
      I know this is a minority of what is on mewe, but something that should be more in the spotlight, for those victims.
      It is not only gold that shines, there is a dark side.

        ORLY? I call BS.

        “Over thousands of screenshots”, eh?

        k

        Here’s the thing, people on MeWe are just that. People. Being themselves. MeWe does not promote hateful activity in any way. Quite the opposite, in fact. Their whole schtick is based upon honestly and love. They take a mostly Libertarian approach to moderation, however: let the people decide. Still, I have never seen anything illegal there (save for some drug related rhetoric…oh noes!) and I poke around a lot. I *have* seen what I consider to be tasteless and uncouth, but MeWe are doing exactly what they should to foster a reasonable environment and avoid stifling free speech at the same time.

        So…do you do this IRL, as well? Exaggerate negativity that you see in an effort to create faux drama? And let’s pretend for a moment that you DO have “over thousands” of screenshots of illegalities. Erm…just what exactly are you doing with all of that? Hmmmm?

      Hi Martin,
      Great to see you! Thanks for commenting on my MeWE article.
      I Googled it:
      MeWe makes money the same way offline companies have always made money; by offering optional services that enhance the lives and experiences of our members. Additionally, members can purchase up to 500GB of data storage, enjoy helpful private group apps from the MeWe App Store, print their pictures (we’ve partnered with Walgreens in the USA), select coupons, and more.
      I’m also still in the process of checking out the new site. The post was written by a guest author. Thanks for coming by.

    This looks interesting. I deleted my farcebook account two years ago. I’ve been using IG, and although it still has a simple interface, and is relatively easy to find the people who I actually know in the “real” world there, I am not feeling very good about their acquisition by fb. I don’t want to put any more money in zuckerbergs pockets if I can help it.
    Perhaps my wife and I will give MeWe a trial run.

    I joined MeWe back in July when a FB “friend” posted something about it. The entire concept of the platform is perfect! I am on MeWe daily (as much as I was on that dastardly FB!) I promote MeWe on my FB account. In fact, that is the only thing I post there.

    My one and only issue is that of the supposed 6 million members, I would be surprised that the 35% mentioned are truly active in the space. I have searched names and interests and locales. I am now utterly sick of seeing a profile pic of a smiling slice of bread or taco. And the banner pic of a lonely hill at sunset is depressing.

    For MeWe to make an actual impact on social media, members need to become Active! Post your pics! Share that meme! Say Something! …heck, if anything, change your freaking profile image and banner pic, for crying out loud!…

      Initially, it looked, what? promising?
      Then, I read their Terms of Service and -more importantly- their Privacy Policy.
      The Privacy Policy is the worst written legal document I have ever seen. It is even more convoluted than any legal “read me” doc I I have seen on the ‘net. A great example of the horrid wording taken from a section “How to control cookies?”
      “You can check and / or check the cookies as you wish…”
      Check and / or check?? Really??!!
      It goes on and on about the collection of data about The User (YOU), how, what and where such data is collected etc etc etc ad nauseum.

      No. YouWeb is a Facebook wannabe. It states that advertising will be found AND that the ads will be targeted based upon data collected about you. Might as well stay with FB.
      I sticking with MeWe. They appear to be straight shooters and don’t fiddle around with BS.

    I love how excited you are about MeWe expected to have 30 million users by the end of 2019! And they with bated breath exclaim the awesomeness of it actually having 6 million users in that time period. But no worries it should NOW have 100 million (revised down from 150) by the end of 2020! HOW exciting!

    In case you didn’t know I very much doubt that MeWe has anything close to 6 million active users. Sure they maybe have 6 million accounts created, but many of these signed up, looked around and never logged back in again. MeWe has already started down the path of an alt-right haven (just look around the groups and come up with your own opinion) and whatever claims the creator has about privacy this is just a well-established fact if you do not moderate anyone or anything then your community quickly becomes a cesspool of the worst in humanity. And yes it’s been shown time and time again how the average person just absolutely L O V E S to spend time in those types of environments. Yeah! I’m not sure how you are paid to shill for MeWe or Weme or whatever but just stop.

          Hi Janice,
          .
          I’m with you. I don’t think anyone talking about MeWe gets paid to talk about how much better your experiences can be on MeWe. People just have to realize, there are settings that allow you to streamline your profile, so it fits your needs and desires. You can set who gets in and who does not. There are many settings to protect you and your data. There so many groups and places to choose to join, or not. You set the level of how deep you want to explore the facets that make up MeWe’s network. No one needs to be paid to talk about a great product.
          .
          WE, at 15th Parallel Photography, have been members since we received the “invitation” to join many years ago, BEFORE it went LIVE. We’ve loved it, use it daily, and have never looked back.
          .
          Oh, and we have NEVER been paid to talk about it either. I don’t know of anyone who has been. I see no reason why the creators of MeWe would need to, since word is out. They’ve been on the news (US and Europe), and have been listed in, and interviewed for, many well-known business mags. WHY would someone need to be paid with all of that FREE “word-of-mouth” advertising, promoting their social network’s awesomeness!
          .

      It’s pretty easy. Just like most other social media sites, you sign up, fill in your profile and browse for groups that interest you. Be forewarned: MeWe is a strong prompter and supporter of NO CENSORSHIP!

      If you run across groups that provide adult content and you don’t want it, don’t go there! I also recommend going to your “profile page,” clicking on your tiny profile pic in the upper right corner and scrolling to, and clicking on: “Privacy & Sharing” in the drop-down list. These parameters will further limit to number and type of contact requests you’ll receive.

      Hi I’m Alexa Shaw, a long time member of MeWe. I run a photographers’ group on MeWe and have had only ONE incident in all of the years “WE” have been on MeWe. Go to: https://www.mewe.com and sign up. Then follow the steps which will get you started.

    i like to tell you that mewe makes updates often and even when your ok with all you do and no illegal stuff you get a Ban and loos all your contacts and rooms/groups your in,, and this every 2 mounts,– sad..
    i had a lot of nice contacts but lost all now,, and after a remake of profile (WITH AGAIN a new e-mail address – old one is blocked after remove from mewe through update) ,, i never can go back to the old groups,, even with a search i can no longer find them, strange behavier of Mewe i think..
    so be carefull, WRITE all contact names on paper and groups/rooms to ,, maybe you can find them some day again.. i forgot it,, (((( — and they keep your e-mails in a kind of list on where you can not use them again,,

    We’ve been members for FOUR (4) YEARS and have never had anything deleted by MeWe during an update or at any other time. “WE” have 3-MeWe accounts. One for each of our endeavors: Business, Educational-Nonprofit and Nonprofit, respectively.

    No one at 15th Parallel has ever had to sign up more than once. No one here has ever been blocked, deleted or otherwise removed by MeWe – updates or not. No contacts have ever been blocked “WITHOUT” our consent. We’ve blocked numerous “porn” mongers ourselves and will continue to do so. We’ve never had any groups be blocked or deleted by MeWe. We’ve never been banned by MeWe. Then again, we’re really good people…honestly…okay, grandpa can be bit edgy at times, but that’s not the point here.

    I can’t help but wonder if you’re using “public” WiFi or a “shared” IP address or service whereby someone on that connection DID do something nefarious or somehow violated the rules of social media. Perhaps, your IP address, or anyone’s really, has been hacked/piggy-backed (use of another person’s signal for anonymity).

    In any case, it may have been prudent to start by writing/contacting MeWe’s Gurus or Site Techs first (no mention of you doing this in your post). You could’ve reached out to others on the Net (Google is easy to use), to ask if anyone else had experienced similar events (no mention of you doing this either).

    As a final idea, contacting your service provider to have them run a simple line check for RF signal “leaks” on your connection may have helped as well, provided your connection is a single home line (which means not shared with others). Leaks of this type can indicate your service may have been hacked, or if you use one, your router/range extender (Yes, it happens. We have 256 bit DOD encryption. Thanks grandpa!).

    In reading your post, I can’t help thinking something truly important has been omitted, yet is likely very necessary to gain full insight into your issues. For now, at least, I just can’t seem to narrow down what that may be – yet. I’ll need to “mull it over” (as grandpa says), and develop a critical hypothesis. With 3 separate accounts, at more than four years, all doing different things and running our own group, I’ve never heard of anyone, other than you ‘W VD,’ having these problems. I’ll forward your post/concerns to groups we share with to see if anyone else has had similar issues.

      Hi Alexa,
      As for me, I’ve never had anything deleted or run into these problems either.
      Thanks for coming by and setting the record straight about MeWe.

        I honestly don’t believe you have my service provider. I get my internet connection from Guam, USA.

        You could try to contact the owners of MeWe and provide your IP address. You can also try using a browser extension. For Firefox it’s BROWSEC. It’s free and semi-automatic (addons.mozilla.org). It will change your IP simply by selecting a new “country.” You’ll find the icon in your top bar. Click it and a dialog box pops up. Click on the on/off switch in the bottom of the pop-dialog box, to turn it on, select a country – IGNORE the premium ads and try to connect to MeWe using the vpn extension. We’re using it because, for some unknown reason, EBAY has decided our IP address (on certain days), is not approved. Browsec is also available on Chrome as an extension.

        And, another method would be to go to a friends house – must be different IP, to see if you can sign up from there. If you can, write to MeWe directly and have them fix your IP to being accepted on their system.

        We’re professional photographers. We don’t work for, nor are we associated with, MeWe, other than being “members” of the social media website.

        Hope these suggestions help.

          I would advise caution in using a public proxy service, especially if one is sending credentials through it.

          Reply to this message
          • Alexa Shaw

            First, the short answer. BROWSEC is not a public proxy. It’s a VPN filter for Firefox and Firefox compatibles.

            Second, the longer answer on contacting the owners of MeWe. I’m not sure about the owners, however, Mark Weinstein is the creator of MeWe and top admin. Contact at: mark@mewe.com, would be first try. Also, if this fails, you can try contact through MeWe’s “Feedback” box at: https://mewe.com/group/55f9dd29e4b050c69e693558. In the box you’ll see a tiny downward pointing triangle. Click on this and choose the type of message you’d like to send.

            Be aware, lots of emails are sent everyday – SO – if you don’t get a reply as fast as you want it, suck it up and BE PATIENT!

      Hi,
      Thanks for expressing your concerns.
      MeWe user Alexa responded to some of the MeWe concerns expressed here in the comments section:

      Alexa Shaw back with the results of my poll/test in response to “Sheila” and her earlier writing about MeWe. Sheila wrote:

      “Your review is by far not my experience after using mewe for over 2 years. It is slow, it takes ages to load, often the app is offline, content not loading, chats disappearing, i get ‘harassed’ by mewe if I don’t want to upgrade while I type a message, groups often not refreshing, sometimes groups are not shown, lot of spam. If you report, mewe doesn’t do anything, it is not even following its own policy. A lot of members use many accounts to cyberbully and harass, post illegal materials, post copyright materials, and reporting doesn’t help. Mewe is protecting the hate spreaders and cyberbullies by its policy, and not protecting the victims. Never experienced such a bad platform.
      Facebook and twitter might not be perfect, but at least they have dignity.”

      So, I let Mostly Blogging’s readers know I’d be testing these claims and posting the results.

      THE RESULTS ARE IN!

      I posted what she wrote, on MeWe’s main page, on our pages: 15th Parallel Photography and our group: Self Taught Photographers. With 163 total replies, the results are: 1 person said they had an issue with a stalker. She blocked him, reported him and has never heard from him again.
      The remaining 162 responses provided: NO stalkers, no forced ads, MeWe is not slow except on the phone app in the ‘Notifications’ section which takes time to load, no one is being openly harassed, no one has ever had chats or any other conversations “vanish” without being deleted by them, all groups that MeWe members have joined show at all times (unless of course you’re being bad or you whine a lot, in which case you get blocked by the Admin or Moderator), no one gets “SPAMMED,” unless they press the wrong link and get into a “BOT” fight, no one has reported MeWe’s owners or moderators blatantly or deliberately failing to follow their own policies and DO enforce the rules as stated.
      No one has ever witnessed/noticed MeWe members creating MeWe pages or profiles with the sole, or shared, intent to cyberbully or harass someone else. MeWe members report they have never witnessed “dignity,” “respect,” or “victim protections” on FB or Twitter, nor compliance with laws or policies, frequently changing these same rules without notice to the subscriber and no one that responded has ever witnessed a MeWe member posting “illegal materials,” other than posts that contain “copyrighted” materials that do not provide credit to the owner(s) of the material and do not fall within the legal parameters allowed by US Copyright laws of being newsworthy, educational or beneficial to society as a whole.
      These are the results I collected since the day Sheila posted her claims. I hope these results help clarify what she has said, and based on these results it clearly shows a different outcome.

    I would like to know how to get some help but cannot find a “contact us” link on any page. I signed up a year ago. Went back on a few weeks ago and could not get logged on even though my password, et al, was saved. I had to create a new account and STILL cannot get on. Would LOVE to get some help. NOT a very user friendly site!

    Reply to this message
    • Alexa Shaw

      Not all social sites have a “Contact Us” per se. MeWe, at the bottom of the “main” sign-up page has a “Help Center.” Left-click on that and you are taken to, you guessed it, the Help Center. Once there, you can choose either “SEARCH” or “USING MEWE.”
      .
      Having signed up ONE YEAR ago and never having signed back in may tell you something about your account. It is highly likely you’ll need to create a NEW account. When I say NEW account I mean you’ll need to use a Mac or PC, NEW username and NEW email address. You’ll also need to choose a NEW password. These must ALL be NEW, not re-used. It is also best to rely on an Ethernet connection (that means wired to the Net, not WiFi), when reapplying. You might even use a different IP address, say a neighbor, family member or friend.
      .
      We recently ran into problems with our service provider and had fix everything from another IP address which was the fault of the provider and not MeWe. By changing everything and signing in more often than once in a blue moon, your account will likely remain active.
      .
      If, all of this work has provided you with a new account, you will then be free to return to your own home/business connection. PLEASE! DO NOT USE a CELL PHONE to do all of this work. The screens are simply not big enough, unless you have a 20″ cell phone screen!
      .
      Once you are logged in and you’re on the MeWe home page, not your profile, you’ll see on the right hand side of the screen a window titled PHOTOSTREAM. At the very bottom of the window you’ll see FEEDBACK. Left-click it and a new dialog box or window will open. You’ll then be presented with a dropdown menu with to choose from. Make your choice and fill in the message box with what you wish to address and send it away when you’re done.
      .
      If Janice will allow my email address to be posted, it is: alexa@15thparallelphotography.com and you can then ask me further questions directly if you get lost. I’m willing to help you find your way into this wonderful world free of ads, clutter, bullies and stalkers!

    I just got an email that MeWe is Chinese and used to spy on this. The source ‘friend’ is suspect but never hurst to verify.

    I’m pretty sure the creator, Mark Weinstein (I believe this is ‘Hebrew’), isn’t Chinese. I’m also under the impression you meant to “spy on us” and not “this”?! Since this is an American/European based company, it’s unlikely it’s Chinese.

    Part One of Two: Alexa’s Reply
    November 17, 2020 – Mostly Blogging Post:
    .
    This is in response to a post by “Sheila” that begins with:
    .
    “Deae Alexa,

    Thanks for your view.

    In essence, under normal conditions it is correct as most people want to use MEWE as what it is meant for. This is the surface, underneath the surface there is more.”
    .
    =========================================================================
    .
    Hi Sheila,
    .
    I just received (November 17, 2020), your Mostly Blogging post in my email this morning. I must say, I’m quite disappointed with your unfounded claims. The response is going to be a two-part reply. One from ME, the other from my grandpa since a lot of what you claimed falls way outside of my purview and such claims require an in-depth understanding of the law of which I do not have, nor do I wish to do so. For that reason, the law stuff is being handed off to him, the guy with the PhD and Law Degree (among other degrees), as well as many years of law enforcement/investigation he has performed – military and civilian.
    .
    First, after your last post, I was under the impression you were “done” with, and had quit, MeWe based on your previous claims. In fact, you wrote them right here on Mostly Blogging:
    .
    “After using mewe, I deleted it. It was full of people that spread hate, post illegal stuff and a lot of cyberbullying (is like that all people that want to hurt others are on mewe). So women unfriendly. That such platform is promoted”
    .
    So now, my question is: WHY did you return to MeWe since you hated it so much the last time? And, WHY would you use it for your “model photography business,” hating it the way you do?
    .
    After trying to read this post, I found myself having to re-read it, again and again. I’m guessing American English is not your primary language and you’re also unfamiliar with US Laws as well as US Supreme Court Rulings and definitions of what constitute “porn” of any kind. As I had a very difficult time reading it, I can only offer a response based on what I believe you were trying to say, minus the legal jargon. That’s my grandpa’s area. Let’s begin by breaking it all down.
    .
    1. You refer to “underneath the surface” of something, and fail to explain, expound or define exactly what you are eluding to, leaving the reader to “guess” or incorrectly conclude MeWe somehow has an underground/illegal section. I need facts to support to these claims, not just feelings or emotions which cannot be measured by legal tests or otherwise.
    .
    You wrote: “This is the surface, underneath the surface there is more.”
    .
    Under the surface of what? Where?
    .
    2. You stated you’re a model photographer and use MeWe as a source for your business, but have nothing to show or direct the reader to, on MeWe, Facebook or any other Social Network. No “.com” website URL or even a social media link to a valid working page or website.
    .
    You wrote: “As I am (model) photographer i thought MEWE was nice to help my business…”
    .
    3. You claim you conducted research, on your behalf and spoke to “several” people as well as received complaints from your models – “about their experience” on MeWe, yet you never say what that experience happened to be to support your claims of poor conduct or bad behavior on the part of the owners/admin or other personnel at MeWe.
    .
    You wrote: “I did some research and spoke with several people on about their experience.”
    .
    4. You also claim you received “THOUSANDS” of screenshots since your experience on MeWe. You never say WHERE the screenshots came from or what they are about – could be funny cat/kitten pics for all we know – and you never explain exactly what your experience on MeWe was as it relates directly to THIS post. Rather, you jump from talking about you to talking about others and make references to what they experienced, again with no support and no facts.
    .
    You wrote: “I got over thousands of screenshots since then of what some experience on MEWE, and it goes from child p*** to revenge p***, photos copied from Instagram, Onlyfans, even with clear copyright signs on the photos to racial slur against certain populations of people.”
    .
    This form of transference mid-sentence is commonly known as “redirection” or “misdirection” and weakens your standing in your claims overall.
    .
    I’ve been a long time member of MeWe, as have all of our photographers, including my grandpa, since MeWe first began and I can honestly state for public record, I have NEVER seen, witnessed or remotely run across “child porn” or “porn” on MeWe ever.
    .
    I’m beginning to believe your definition of what constitutes pornography has been misguided or misunderstood as far as “legal, ethical and cultural” standpoints are concerned. Grandpa will explain this in his response using laws, court orders and other regulations, using in-depth legal knowledge that is not mine to possess or disseminate to others.
    .
    5. In continuing with your porn topic you claim MeWe allows groups to post what you called “revenge porn.” I must admit, since I had no idea what such a subject entailed, I had to look it up. I also found what you’d written to be confusing and lacking specific direction toward a logical conclusion in relation to the claims made.
    .
    You wrote: “Groups specially set up for revenge p*** and adding as much as possible people then inviting the girls to the group so they can make fun of it.”
    .
    While I now understand the revenge porn part, I’m still at a loss as to the rest of what you wrote since the sentence lacks structural integrity, and I refuse to guess the meaning behind it all.
    .
    6. You also claim “they” whomever “they” happen to be, somehow have access to personal/private information and details about “girls” as well as Facebook account data for the sole purposes of harassment and/or “blackmail.” I would caution anyone using this term. It is a very slippery slope and can land YOU in prison for liable, defamation of character and slander. PROOF must be in your hands long before making such claims and I find the claims of blackmail on a Blog site and not filed with FEDERAL AUTHORITIES, deceitful and questionable at best. And you add the “girls” (still NOT stating just who these girls are), report what they can and MeWe refuses to act. Report “it” to whom? What is “it?”
    .
    You blame MeWe administrators for acting on the “girls” claims and again when offenders sign up under new identities using the “same” emails. It would be impossible for you to know this, and impossible to use a “blocked” email and IP address ever again. It’s also impossible for you to know just what their private email accounts are filed under unless you’ve committed a crime to obtain that data. Blaming MeWe admin for acting on behalf of these “girls” and again for not acting on their behalf. What? Sort of a damned if you do, damned if don’t scenario playing out in this claim.
    .
    You wrote: “They post girls private information, fb accounts so they can be harassed, blackmailed (all with screenshots out of mewe). Those girls report what they can but mewe is not acting and if so those cyberbullies can make new with same email address, etc.”
    .
    Since your claim clearly stated you are in possession of physical evidence (screenshots), of criminal activities taking place, and you have failed to report these acts to the LAW, you have admitted to a crime.
    .
    You have first hand knowledge of a felony and have failed to report it. This is commonly known as an “act of omission.” It is also a FELONY. However, I find this claim to be unfounded and lacking any verifiable facts. Giving out private information online is just plain stupid and bears no fault on the part of MeWe or any social networking site, ever.
    .
    8. Next you claim MeWe administrators allow these illegal activities to take place, yet offer no facts or evidence to support your claim. It’s supposition and assumption based entirely on your feelings and emotions, nothing more.
    .
    You wrote: “the admin or creator play an essential role, but if they want to allow such things,…”
    .
    9. Skipping ahead to such vague and open claims of suicide without specifically explaining the cause might lead a reader to assume you were speaking about MeWe as the causes of suicide. These types of open claims infuriate me. They lack direction, compassion for the families and seek only to insight pain, anger and violence. No facts, no specifics, no direction, no legal standing whatsoever.
    .
    You wrote: “Girls are taking their lives because of such things. When that was posted in a group, they laughed about it in these groups”
    .
    This claim tells me you have first hand knowledge and have actually been a party to these groups. Closed and private groups require an invite and YOUR acceptance. How would you know they laughed unless you joined in?
    .
    What verifiable statistics do you have that any Facebook group or other social site is the cause of any person’s suicide? Did you read these very private/personal suicide letters belonging to all of these people? How did you get possession of such private items? Where does your data come from showing any social networks cause the deaths of anyone? Claim after claim, after claim, with absolutely ZERO proof, facts or evidence to support what you have written is true.
    .
    10. My last point and one I will allow my grandpa to address fully in his response as it ruins everything that has been claimed here. You are obviously a very dedicated follower of Facebook and Zuckerberg. One of the most damning claims you wrote is that FB prohibits, prevents, has stopped or miraculously does not allow any such activity to transpire on their site by “restricting” porn, cyberbullying and other illegal activities. Are you really serious? WOW! Grandpa, it’s time for the law!

      Here is Craig’s Part 2 of 2:

      Hello Sheila,
      .
      My name is Craig Alexander, the grandfather to Alexa Shaw. You and I have never had an opportunity to discuss your rants, claims or accusations. I’m going to change all of that right here, right now. Allow me to say, ‘IF’ you really did have a bad experience on MeWe – a social network or blog site is not the first, nor best place to address the truth of such a vital issue. I’d like to add, based on your words, deleting your MeWe account then signing up again, is not very smart, provided everything you have claimed is the truth and is in accordance with US law and Supreme Court orders and parameters.
      .
      That being said, I think it’s high time you learned exactly what PORN happens to be and how it is de – fined and enforced in America. The preeminent law dictionary cited by the US Courts falls within the Black’s Law Dictionary. It defines PORNOGRAPHIC as:
      .
      “That which is of or pertaining to obscene literature; obscene; licentious. Material is pornographic or obscene if the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest and if it depicts in a patently offensive way sexual conduct and if the work taken as a whole lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 24-25, 93 S.Ct. 2607, 2615, 37 L.Ed.2d 419.
      See also Dominant theme; Obscene; Pander (Pandering of obscenity); Prurient interest.” .
      For those that do not understand Prurient Nature. Black’s defines this as:

    After reading posts about MeWe, I can honestly tell you that some people will have great experiences with Mewe, while others will not.
    Lets start from the beginning…..The Internet is questionable. do you know whom you are chatting with on social networks? Are they male or female? Are they adults or older underage children? You say they have a picture? Is it their picture? The internet is full of roleplay and the unknown. Period.
    On to MeWe.
    Before the election and BLM riots across the country, Mewe welcomed with open arms refugees from Tumblr. Tumblr as you recall was open to just about anything, and left people alone. Tumblr began clamping down on users. Users went to MeWe. MeWe grew! MeWe said they were not big government looking over your shoulders. Encrypted chats. No personal information was kept.
    Wonderful! Fantastic! Unbelievable! Finally an honest site that made a little money from some members, without bothering or spying on those members. Some site have “backdoors” to let government and certain agencies come looking for all sorts of disruptive members. Not MeWe. No “Backdoor”. Finally….two people can chat and say…I love you, without interference or judgement.
    What people do not consider is …..Mewe has it’s own police force. They look over your shoulder. They spy on you. They have the normal make your own/join a group. Unlisted in those groups is ..”Adult Material”. If you start a group that is adult themed, your group is listed under adult, which is not normally shown to the general population of members!
    Mewe is not unique on the web. The Federal Government knows and understands, because MeWe will protect itself before you. No matter what BS they tell you. Mewe wants to stay on the web and whatever people read is whatever people will believe. Mewe want money., members and to work with the Feds to keep in good standing with “Big Brother”. I left MeWe because I felt uncomfortable even though I liked the peopl I met. Like any other site MeWe says…..We are growing everyday! Thousands come to us. MeWe will fail. Why? People come. People go. People learn.

        I will back up Mad Max. I was on MeWe. There are two sides to MeWe and privacy. What Max says is true. Period. MeWe sign up must be read veeeeery carefully. There are non-encrypted words, and encrypted words between members. Members are responsible for encryption. No mention of Adult/Mature group forming, until MeWe asks how to list group. (hidden truth)
        Max is correct about self policing by MeWe. Some know it all, or geeks, or naïve members must realize the truth of what Max and I say. Proof? You would like proof? Everyday I regret my move to MeWe. Everyday I regret my mistakes. My trust in MeWe. It is their site. You all are guests. You have less control online than in real life. You want Proof> I made a mistake, but I still say to those who want proof…..F you! I start my jail sentence 1/3/22. TY MeWe, for Narking me out!

          HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You broke the law, got caught and NOW you blame MeWe for YOUR violations. AWWWW! what a shame. The only guilty party in this situation is: WELL, YOU! The person you SEE every time you SEE YOUR reflection. Predators don’t belong on the Internet. They don’t belong in society.
          .
          Do your time and whine to some of the hardened convicts in there. Lie to them to make yourself sound really awesome. Someone inside will know, or will be able to find out, what you did, then, maybe you’ll learn new lessons. Here’s one just for you: DON’T BREAK THE LAW, DUH!
          .
          Funny how you kept using the word – PROOF – and never provided any. Perhaps, giving us the PROOF of your crimes will help everyone understand why you’re whining. Also, It’s NOT hidden if you can read it. Anyone that can read, can also see the choices between adult/porn/mature and normal groups when forming a group on MeWe. Also, you obviously don’t know what HIDDEN means. I have two groups. They’re normal family oriented groups as I CHOSE the proper group settings when I created them.
          .
          Here’s another lesson for you: Don’t blame others for YOUR criminal activity. Have a nice day! Happy Holidays!! – AND HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!!!

      Hi madmax,
      .
      I read your story and found it – NEEDY. It was interesting, somewhat amusing, yet quite needy. Been on MeWe since it began. Also run a wonderful photography group and “police” the creeps, stalkers, predators, etc. ourselves. It’s not just our right to do so, it’s our duty to protect our group members. Some are under 18. Be that as it may, you wrote, in reference to MeWe personnel: “They look over your shoulder. They spy on you.”
      .
      In the manner which it is written, you inadvertently imply you have FIRST HAND information, physical proof and knowledge to support your claims and allegations. As my grandpa would say: EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS, REQUIRE EXTRAORDINARY PROOF – PROVIDE THE PROOF.
      .
      He’s former Army SID/MP as well as civilian UC and Army SF, so quite the background and character. However, I happen to agree with him on this requirement.
      .
      If Janice will allow it, please provide your physical evidence to prove and physically support your claims are, well, not just stories. I look forward to reading your documented proof soon.
      .
      Have a great new year in 2021. May your days be brighter and better than each previous one.

      Hi Sam,
      Thanks for commenting. I had not heard this. I heard people are flocking in droves to MeWe since the November 3 Presidential Election, so the site must be doing something right.

    I used mewe 2 times and my profiles got deleted by mewe.
    It suffers from any kind of touch with normal life.
    As member of nudism and naturism sites, where they proclaim not to interfere.
    But as all social media, they dont stick to rules.
    Mewe is not what you pretend to write.
    There are equal fake accounts as the members you write 6 million= 50/50 so about 3 million fake accounts.

      Hi AJ,

      My name is Alexa, and I’m a MeWe user. Janice has asked if I can help you, and I’m certainly going to do my best.
      .
      Hopefully, my tiny input will not only answer your question, it will provide some added information to help you tailor your MeWe experience for the better.
      .
      Short answer: No, only you can see the groups you are in. I set up a “dummy” account and added that “DUMMY” as a “contact” and immediately went to that profile page. There was nothing on that page that showed any of my groups and I belong to many, plus I operate my own.
      .
      Additionally…you can streamline your contact permissions BY…
      .
      Going to that CONTACT”S – PROFILE PAGE.
      .
      First open your CONTACTS LIST by left-clicking YOUR PROFILE image located in the upper right corner on YOUR Profile Page.
      .
      A “dropdown menu” will appear and MY CONTACTS will show in the list.
      .
      Left-click it and you’ll be taken to the list of YOUR contacts.
      .
      Locate the CONTACT which you’d like to “limit” permissions for and HOVER your mouse over their profile image. A small dialog box appears.
      .
      Left-click on PROFILE. You’ll be taken to their Profile Page.
      .
      On their Profile Page, on the right side, you should see a “Contact Permissions” box, check or uncheck any permissions you’d like to set for that contact.
      .
      Hope this helps.
      .

    I have an account on my phone. I would prefer being able to use it on both the Iphone platform and my computer. However, I forgot my password and the email I used. Can I get the information about my email at least so I can change my password?

      Hi Diane,
      .
      My name is Alexa and I use MeWe everyday. That being said…I GOTS GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS…
      .
      First the BAD. You’ll either need to start putting in ALL of your various emails when you see “Forgot Password,” or contact MeWe admin directly to see if your name is associated with any “email” accounts. The forgot password method is long and boring, but it does work. Just keep putting in different emails and it will keep rejecting you until it “recognizes” either a phone number or email associated with that account. Once it recognizes the account it offer to send a PASSWORD RESET.
      .
      The GOOD news is there is the alternative, which is to start again by first writing down the NEW email & password you want to use. Then enter this new data and start over.
      .
      Sadly, I’ve had to do both and it really, truly SUCKS! no matter which method you choose. They all take time. The new data method is the quickest and easiest to process. It also lets you know just how important writing this vital information down happens to be in the long run.

    I signed up for MeWe a couple of years ago. I have rarely used it since. Today I received a contact request from someone I know who I would rather not have contact with. Obviously, my name is not private on the site. What gives? What concerned me the most are the ‘featured pages’. If MeWe doesn’t accept advertising what are these featured pages doing on my MeWe when I open it? Sean Hannity? He is a Right Wing nut job who doesn’t care about the truth. Mike Huckabee? See my comments about Hannity. Franklin Graham? Don’t you just love the hypocrisy of a “Christian” who asks for your money to take care of the poor and takes a million dollar salary to do it. Anti-masker Governor Noem? Give me a break. The Epic Times? The Epoch Times is a far-right Falun Gong new religious movement. If these are the links I have to see every time I open MeWe… well no thanks. I looked for ways to remove these pages but so far have found no way. Did these idiots pay MeWe to have these “featured pages”? I am guessing in no time hate groups lime the Proud Boys, KKK, and the American Nazi Party will have featured pages too.

    Hi Alexa,
    I joined MeWe after the election as a Facebook Refugee. I’m a fiction author and invested a lot of money in FB ads to promote my books. While I gained followers, sales were just okay. I still have my FB Author account but deleted my personal account because of FBs lack of privacy practices. I created a new personal MeWe account. Most of my family and friends have stayed with FB. Unfortunately, the ick factor on MeWe is the same as any social media site, single men sending me contact requests. Geez, people, got to Tinder, creeps! There’s a learning curve to weeding this type of thing out, but so far I enjoy the newsfeed and groups I’ve joined.
    I paid for the membership but learning a whole new platform is confusing for someone my age. I noticed on this blog you have icons in the left sidebar linking to FB, Twitter, Pinterest, IN and Instagram but not to your MeWe page. Is there a reason for that? I was hoping to add a MeWe share link to my author website but haven’t figured out how to do it. Can you help with that or is it even possible?
    Thank you for your insight into the platform and keeping your review up to date. I look forward to your answer.

      Hi Teri,
      .
      Thanks! I am also a writer, although my passion would be to write “fiction” that also produces awareness, and raises serious interest and concerns about the devolution of our planet” (aka – GREED & FEARMONGERING), I’m currently researching and writing guides to help others better themselves as photographers (and maybe as people, too). It matters not, whether the seeker of photographic knowledge is a pro or beginner. I’ve discovered many “pros” are really average photogs with ‘some’ knowledge of art and LOTS of “INSIDE THE BOX” mechanical thinking.
      .
      Uh, NO! Photography may have some technical aspects, however, it’s certainly NOT technical, rule binding, imprisonment. It IS, and has always been, first & foremost – ART! Metadata is used to HELP and TEACH others about the settings you used and how YOU got your shot. If they apply some, or all, of what you did in their neck-of-the-woods, perhaps they can learn from YOU and in turn will share what THEY did to get their image(s). And so it begins. True creatively artistic photography requires a keen interest in seeing the world around us with a totally non-rigid or structured view.
      .
      For now, I’m dedicated to helping as many self-taught photographers as I can. Like my grandpa before me, I will continue to “pay it forward.” He learned from g-grandma and his Aunt Betty as well as teaching himself, well, MORE! He hasn’t stopped learning or teaching – yet!
      .
      As for your personal MeWe account, you can change your settings to require approval, answer questions, and limit their ability to access, see, chat, post, etc. Also, under the ABOUT ME section of your profile you can add: IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO HOOK UP TRY ELSEWHERE – IT’S NOT GONNA HAPPEN HERE! That helps lower the number of predators, creepers and idiots.
      .
      Adjusting your profile settings forces people to ASK to be a contact and severely cripples the CREEPERS!
      .
      YEP! new stuff is always gonna be a different animal. Once you learn the tricks around MeWe you’ll love it even more. Our Self Taught Photographers group, on MeWe is a very STRICT and daily monitored group, so very few nitwits can get through. Not to mention, we have RULES. And DOZ RULES WILL BE OBEYED or the violator is gone. Not just DELETED, they’re BLOCKED as well – forever.
      .
      We have families and peeps under 18 joining in on our fun, so creeps and creepers are definitely NOT ALLOWED. Also, not mention, but I will, grandpa was Army SF and Military Police SID/CID Investigations as well as a 7th ID Drill Sgt. Out of all of our years on MeWe, we’ve had only 3 serious violators. All reported, to the FEDS and MeWe, deleted and blocked forever.
      .
      If you’d like more help in getting rid of them, just ask. Your time on MeWe should be enjoyable with minimum creepage!
      .
      HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someone YOUR AGE!!!! That’s funny. All of our websites were built, and maintained by my GRANDPA. All of our photographers were, and still are, taught by my grandpa. I’ve seen your meWe profile pic….you’re not that old. I mean your not HIS level of old. After all, he has more than 51 years of photography experience and background.
      .
      Oh, but he also managed to write a few communications programs for the US Army and DOD back during the Cold War (1980-1989). They used them in Desert Storms I & II with a 0.0017% failure rate in temps exceeding 130ºF and all that sand. Vietnam, on the other hand, had a whopping 93.8% failure rate. Huge difference. All of our computers (not laptops), are built and customized by HIM.
      .
      Still, you’re far too young to not be able to jump in & swim! May look like dog paddling at first, but you’ll find your way. Just take your time. I’ve found the more I chat and more I join in on discussions and comments, the more I learn about the nuances of MeWe’s layout and format styles. If you get stuck, I’ll do my best to get you going again. Join our group, use the CHAT – which MUST BE ON at all times – and We’ll work together to get you skipping along and “singing in the rain!”
      .
      Now, for Janice’s “Social Media” icons. She may not have them set to show MeWe. There are only a few WordPress plugins that do include MeWe as a choice. We personally use “Sassy Social Share” since grandpa likes the “icon designs” better than “Shareaholic” or “Super Socializer.” In building or designing your author site, and if you’re using WordPress, those are a few of the choices you’ll be able to use. I’m not sure if Janice is using WP or not. That’s a grandpa thing. I play on the front end, he plays on both front & back.
      .
      I know grandpa will also help, he’s just like that, despite his size and background. Kids actually love him. Kinda like a huge living Teddy Bear – with long gray hair and a camera. I sometimes get a bit jealous. I actually have to walk up to people and start a conversation. All he does is walk to a beach or shoreline and start setting up his camera stuff. he shoots using WiFi from camera to laptop using an ad hoc set up since his camera has no built transfer.
      .
      By the time he’s set up and ready to test, loads of peeps are watching him and the kids are screaming “PICTURE ME! PICTURE ME!” Which freaked us out the first time it happened. Neither of us had ever heard the phrase before and never had kids in the US just run up and demand – LOUDLY – to have their pictures taken. Most US kids would rather be texting!
      .
      In any case, using one of the 3 plugins above on a WordPress site will get you the MeWe social icon. Top, bottom, left, right, static, floating, etc. Any selection is possible.
      .
      Hope I helped, even just a little. Get outside – go shooting – shoot RAW – shoot safe & be safe.

        Wow! Thank you so much for your information-packed response! I’m using WIX (FYI) and will try to get the icon loaded there. Janice, I will look at your link, thank you for your help.

        Alexa, thank you so much for ALL of the information you’ve provided. I did figure out the MeWe privacy settings, closed it to everyone except contacts of contacts. My personal page should just remain personal and I will build a new Page for my books, just as I did on FB.

        Your grandfather sounds like an amazing person and you are lucky to have him! Please thank him for his service for me.

        As for the pictures I’ve taken, I have tons uploaded in my cloud. I tend to favor blossoms/flowers but have some landscapes too. As I said, I use my phone. I like the simplicity and tend to get some great close ups, especially of bumble bees.

        In regard to a photo story… interesting concept. I’ll research and see if that’s something I can work with. My brain likes to write HEA/Resolution stories, and I find taking pictures helps me describe setting with all five senses. My current work is about a teen dealing with a drug-addicted mother and a narcissistic father, and all the problems these two people create in her life.

        You mentioned your own writing career and how you want to show readers the devolution of our planet, and what can be done to prevent it. Characters drive a good story (as I’m sure you know) and is the best way to bring attention to certain issues. The problem, if you choose to use fiction, is giving the information to your readers without it sounding like a lecture. Fiction readers want to be entertained. If learning happens at the same time, it’s a win/win. If you ever want a fresh set of eyes to look at a draft I’d be happy to help, and you can email me anytime with the address provided via Elise Manion.

        Again, thank you for the information. I look forward to seeing you on MeWe!

        Teri

    First, on this site mostlyblogging.com. Move the icons that’s on the side of the screen, unless you wanted to block the article that’s trying to get to read. Also sign up to the item first to test it out and Then give a review. Article should have said something like”is social app mewe really that bad” or “why do account disappear, and then suddenly weeks or months later reappear “except you can’t access the account and someone else is using it and everything In it including username. And since there is ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT or ANY CONTACT INFO there’s not a damn thing you can do. And that’s happened to me personally 15x in just under 3yrs. Except 3 Lost accounts I Was able to get back in. And everything has been”messed with.” Photos/videos moved to different folders and completely gone. But, AGAIN there’s Not a single Support or Contact help Anywhere on here. And the feedback is COMPLETELY worthless. About as good as google feedback. WORTHLESS.

    A person named Charles De Jong is claiming to be the owner of The Association of American Cattle Guards on the MeWe platform.
    Absolutely not the case, I have a patent on the name and the logo for this group on all platforms.
    I shut down the group on the MeWe platform weeks ago because of inactivity.
    If you are still following the AACG on that platform please cancel! Thank you!
    -Randi Stewart President/CEO and the sole owner, The Association of American Cattle Guards

    I am member of an another MEWE-Group where now the owner is changed. And “new” owner is that De Jong?

    I send a message to MEWE and also that (fictive?) person and 3 group members.

    So do you know something extra about this kind of a “hijacking”?

        Cave Ne False Dicta A Reader {Let The Reader Beware of False Claims}

        I’ve been asked to intercede on behalf of Mostly Blogging and Janice Wald in respect to a claim posted here by a person using the screen name: “Veli T.”
        .
        The claim seems to be a “copy-n-paste” effort stemming from a post made on Facebook. The original claim alleged a MeWe member: Charles De Young, used “patent” information to create a MeWe group. The claim also imparts the MeWe member does NOT own the so-called “patent” to social media platform ‘NAME’ and ‘LOGO’ usage.
        .
        Here are the steps I took to verify the validity of any factual basis for the post.
        .
        1) I typed in the name: Charles De Young on MeWe to verify such a person existed on MeWe;
        2) I then searched Facebook for the group: The Association of American Cattle Guards;
        3) Next, I read the FB posts, searching for any information to validate the above claims.
        4) I then asked my grandfather, a former Army SF/Combat Infantry Soldier with a long history and background in criminal law, investigations, reporting, etc., (Military Police), for his help in looking into any legal basis or foundation to these claims. After he stopped laughing at the word, “patent” when used in combination with “name” and “logo,” he agreed to help me with my research.
        .
        PLEASE NOTE: He also possesses an “administrative law degree,” (among others), with a minor in “research, investigation & interrogation,” as well as being a former assistant to the Police Academy Qualification & Training Program (1980-1981) in a northern US state. He also possesses more than 4 decades of knowledge and experience in criminal and civil legal matters.
        .
        5) With his help, it was discovered the claims made by both “Veli T.” and “Randi Stewart” are MISLEADING, FALSE and/or UNFOUNDED, having NO basis in truth or fact, based upon the claims made online and the data we retrieved.
        .
        My research into these claims provided:
        .
        1) Charles De Young has/had a MeWe account ~ Joined: February, 2020;
        2) De Young’s first and ONLY public post was: March 2020. He “copied & pasted” a VEVO video to his profile page;
        3) De Young has NOT posted on MeWe since that time;
        4) A MeWe search of the group: The Association of American Cattle Guards, produced ZERO results with that group name as of June 28, 2021;
        5) A Facebook search resulted in locating this group and the ORIGINAL claim posted by a person using the name ‘RANDI STEWART’;
        6) Randi Stewart, in the Facebook post claimed to OWN the PATENT on this “group’s social media “name” and “logo,” on ALL platforms;
        7) Randi Stewart’s post also included a “screen capture” of Charles De Young’s MeWe “profile page,” which is clearly visible as dated February 2020;
        8) Under De Young’s “profile” screen capture is a second capture showing the ONLY post made on MeWe by De Young;
        9) The posts claim De Young represented himself as the owner of the “Association” referenced in the claim;
        .
        The above detailed information is provided to all readers in preparation to what follows, and shall serve as the preface to my conclusions, based upon the data, information and evidence I (and my gramps), uncovered in a matter of hours using our combined resources.
        .
        IN CONCLUSION:
        .
        In the title to this response to “Veli T.” I forewarn the reader to BEWARE of FALSE CLAIMS. This MUST be taken as a reality. Anytime you read something online, and you have questions, DO YOUR RESEARCH to clear up all misconceptions you may have – period.
        .
        First, I’ll address the glaring and blatant FALSE claim of OWNING a patent on a NAME and LOGO.
        .
        NO ONE owns a “PATENT” on any name or logo – period. The Patent and Trademark Office, Washington, D.C. (USPTO), does not now, nor has it EVER issued, a “patent” for a name or logo.
        .
        A patent is a legal document which provides protection to the ideas of any individual. Usually issued by the Patent Office of a country, the patent is granted to any firm or individual.
        .
        In truth, the USPTO divides patents into “tangible” and “physical” categories. They include: a Device; Machine; Manufacture; or Chemical Composition. NO names. NO logos.
        .
        Patents consist of different classes:
        .
        Machine (a device or apparatus created by a person for the performance of a specific task, process (a process created by an individual);
        .
        Manufacture (any fabricated or manufactured product) or
        .
        Chemical composition of matter (any chemical mixture or compound created by a person).
        .
        Also, to claim you OWN a PATENT on ALL social media platforms for a name or logo, doesn’t make you appear uneducated, it removes all doubt in that matter. NO ONE owns a patent to social media or any other intangible item, including a name or logo.
        .
        Another glaring problem with this post is the claim of: “I shut down the group on the MeWe platform weeks ago because of inactivity.” This claim presents conflicting information, in that Randi Stewart claims to be the “owner” of the MeWe Group and deleted it.
        .
        Only the “physical owner” of any MeWe group can DELETE their own group. To claim De Young is the owner PROHIBITS anyone else from deleting that group. So, how did Stewart delete it? It should be noted, the owner can “transfer group ownership” to someone else, say someone named “De Young,” perhaps?
        .
        Either YOU are the owner or the other person is the group owner. These are mutually exclusive in their make up. There can be only one! Randi Stewart claims to have shutdown the group. If this is true, Randi Stewart, was the group owner, not De Young as previously claimed. Again, only the TRUE MeWe group owner is authorized to delete it. It cannot physically be both ways.
        .
        Add to this, the fact De Young’s own profile page (as shown on Facebook), shows the date joined AND the only post ever made by De Young on MeWe. All public posts made by MeWe members are recorded on the member’s profile page, with the date of the post.
        .
        There is no doubt, this post clearly contains misleading, false and unfounded claims by both “VELI T.” and “RANDI STEWART.”
        .
        I looked it up, as did my grandfather, you can too. The truth and PROOF are out there. PATENT? On a name? On a logo? REALLY? Are you serious? Own a “PATENT” to a group name on a social media website YOU DO NOT OWN? WOW!
        .
        That takes seriously big balls to PUBLICLY POST such false information. Why would anyone do such a thing? Fear? Resentment? Abandonment? Attention? These I cannot answer. The rest, well, you’ve already been shown what I found. Now, it’s your turn. It’s all up to you.

          Thank You Janice and Alexa!

          -We have a Mewe-group here in Finland and all members in that group are Finnish and they all even have finnish names.
          -Our group started in January and it was lady called “E” who started that group.
          -In the beginning and also after that she was (and is) only “owner” of that group
          -Groups backround picture was blue (and in it was some writings) kind of a Mewe-backround picture etc.
          -Few days ago I noticed that “the” backround picture is changed and now the backround picture is kind of a one persons anon. profile pic (just simple black line of head and shoulders, ya know)
          -When I checked the names of the group members I noticed that name and profilepicture of real owner (lady “H”) is replaced by angloamerican (or sthing?) name De Jong (not De Young)
          -One member of our group have a screenshot from January and there the owner (of course) is the starter of the group lady “H”.

          We have still the same question as in my first message and I copypasted that only message from internet I found (Randis FB-message) which I thought to be even an answer or a clue to our situation.

          “I am member of an another MEWE-Group where now the owner is changed. And “new” owner is that De Jong?”

          So, that FB-message claim is not my claim but in our situation in our group here in Finland situation is real because one member of our group who also is trying to check what has happened can’t take contact to real owner lady “H”

          I even don’t know person called Randi Stewart but I suppose that his message was kind of a clue. I live in Finland, ya know and my mewe-contacts are finnish.

          So I am sorry that I confused your blog with a message which had only one clue and a question. So one extra question is how american (?) man called de Jong is now “owner of our group.
          -When I just now “googled” name D e J o n g (not de Young)
          I find out that there is group which name is (It is CopyPasting and I also took a screenshot):

          “This Group Has Been Kidnapped By charles De jong”

          And when I clicked that name I found out that groups name is
          “Indian riders united by blood”

          And when I searched the picture of a man in de Jongs profilepage by Yandex-Image search I found out that the picture of de Jong is picture of some kind of Hipsterman with beard and that man is model in some pictures. So I suppose that de Jongs profile is not real?

          When I “googled” in Mewe name de Young (as you wrote in your message) I found only name de J o n g, who has that VEVO-video?

          So charlesdeyoung or charlesdejong, that is the question, or to “de” or not to “de”? Thats the extra question?

          My grandfather was a senator here in Finland 100 years ago and he is, I hope so, in Heaven, so I got to trust Father God in Heaven that our strange situation could have kind of a good end ; )

          And why I put our strange question to your blog was only my idea when I “googled” some place or person who can give an answer.

          And if you want to help us so give us kind of a clue. And I think it could be nice if you checkout that false message-spreading status you gave me because I hardly understood that Stewards message could be false or something.

          “This Group Has Been Kidnapped By charles De jong” This copypaste I found now and I took also a screenshot as I told.

          And when we put that copypastIing together with same scale than Randis FB-message I don’t have an answer what next?

          So God bless you all there in somewhere, we here in Finland are soon starting our daily icebear hunting and trying also kick back all russian wolves back to russia! (Just kidding!)

          I also remind that our group is a christian group and we have only 36 members in it, so we don’t spread any false claims purposely.

          Thank You!

        I also send to you, I suppose to be owner of this blog, part of my response which is response to Alexas response to my res…

        Ok, my full response continues to Alexas studies and research concerning my question about changed owner in our MEWE-group is after Alexas response. (Sorry my so-how no-know english).

        I found out that your blog is not a MEWE-blog, so I suppose that I put my question to a wrong blog.

        So our situation is real and we are researching what to do next.

        It is not possible to take straight contact to Weinstein or other people in MEWE – of course I send short question about this situation through a small response-field in MEWE, but they didn’t answer yet.

        Thank you, and God bless You and your family and your work.

    WELL I thought MeWe would be a great social media but I was wrong. It helped my husband hook up with all these different women(he is a truck driver) and have affairs on me. We are no longer together. Thanks a lot MeWe for that premium plan which allowed him to video chat and voice call behind my back.

      Hi Lizz,
      Thank you for writing to share your experiences, so others know what can happen with the MeWe social media site and other social media sites that have these functionalities.
      The pain of infidelity is awful. Is it possible he engaged in this type of behavior before getting on MeWe without your knowledge? At least you know now. May I ask how you found out?
      Thanks again for sharing with us.
      Janice

        Hi Lizz,
        .
        WOW! Blaming a single social networking site for your failures. That takes a special kind of person. If I had to guess, he was probably using Facebook, Tango, Tinder, and other “Swipe-Right” screw sites. This boils down to you and him, not a specific social media outlet. Did you blame FB, or his email provider? His dispatcher? Others? Perhaps looking into the mirror would provide 50% of the cause if his cheating.
        .
        It’s very likely he just plain lost interest. Perhaps you made too many excuses. The blame game all begins with an honest search within one’s inner being. So, what are you waiting for? Start that inner search today. The answers to your troubles will likely reveal themselves in short order.
        .
        Oh, and I almost forgot. If he has a CB Radio in that truck, and he probably does, it’s very likely he was already screwing someone by simply picking up the mic and calling for ‘LOT LIZARDS’ at pretty much any truck stop. My grandpa was an OTR driver way back in the day. He saw plenty of men & “WOMEN” paying for sex all over the US. Kinda why he started parking at security patrolled rest stops to sleep.
        .
        Also, one of his photography students, a married young man, was using “Facebook” to hook-up with “teen girls” in spite of the fact his wife, age 32 was “HOT” (grandpa’s words), and he had a teen daughter, 2-sons and she was PG. Grandpa caught him on FB one day when he was supposed to be looking for work. He was no longer a student or friend.
        .
        Just as a reminder to readers out there, “polls” are taken every few years, and sadly, the results for women are not good. The last one showed “WOMEN” are 83.2% more likely to “cheat” than men (the polls asked women, not men). So, is this a pot-n-kettle situation? I’ll let the readers decide.
        .

    He came into ownership of my group after my account was mysteriously deleted. Let me know if you know anything about this stool pusher.

    It is only natural to feel desperate when you learn that someone you love dearly is having an affair, even if you are not involved. It takes a lot of strength to assign a stranger the task of getting information from your partner’s phone. Although they have never stood in your shoes, people might nevertheless claim that it is wrong. I’d advise against getting in touch with the incorrect person or persons. You need to know more. You also desire safety, right? … Contact this person now. email: contactkevinrecoveryagent At gmail.com

    MeWe is a problematic site. Its desktop sign up frequently burns email accounts with an error “something has gone wrong.” Additionally, once an account is created, MeWe may lock the account to milk a phone number from the user. Additionally, it has a problem with mass reporters who will take down accounts with little to no provocation. Their jail system was touted, but never implemented as accounts get banned without notice or reason. The site is buggy as it consumes tremendous amounts of resources, the design is badly thought out and implemented and the porn is rampant with the mods doing practically nothing. Spam bots are left running amok after weeks to months of reporting without any action by the mods. For touting themselves to be the replacement for Google+ and having 10 years to improve the site, MeWe is a piss-poor implementation of a social network.

      Perhaps you shouldn’t violate the rules of use. Or, maybe, you just failed to understand MeWe is NOT FACEBOOK. It does NOT work, look, operate, nor function like FB. Since I’ve been using MeWe, I’ve been logged out ONCE. I contacted MeWe and had ZERO problems getting back into my account. As far as the website failing to operate, that’s entirely incorrect. You should contact your Net provider, or replace your computer equipment. Now, as to PORN “running rampant.” Hard to believe, but okay. The solution is to block these people, report them to MeWe, or stop typing ‘porn’ or ‘nude’ into the search box. Don’t forget to include a screenshot of the problem. My grandfather and I were sent email invitations to join MeWe long before MeWe was announced to the world, and we’ve been using it ever since.

      I had ONE, and only ONE, problem harasser on MeWe. I reported him and included a screenshot of his bullying. He’s no longer on MeWe. Banned for life. To get back on, he won’t simply be able to change his screen name. His IP address had been permanently FLAGGED. I have no issues with porn people as I block these individuals and they’re gone – forever! I also turned off the “invite” function in my settings, so no unauthorized gross photos are received!

      As to the design and layout of MeWe, well, as with all new things, it takes time to learn. As a photographer, I love using MeWe and I run two teaching/learning groups and have no issues within either group. If you dislike MeWe, I suggest you remain with what you know. Facebook seems to be the place you’ve chosen for a social home. In spite of the numerous criminal actions, civil suits, federal fines, wild porn junk, deceit, lies, political pandering, bullying and so many other problems, which you’ve accepted, it seems this is the place you want to remain.

      Oh, and we have TWO MeWe accounts. Both relate to photography. One educational, the other casual business. We don’t teach boudoir or nudes, and we’ll never do porn. It’s degrading. As to MeWe, as a whole, millions of active subscribers would indicate your issues may lie elsewhere.

      If, you do find a place that isn’t Facebook, has no nudity, porn, or account issues, login problems, please post such a place here. I’d really like to know about this nirvana social media service.
