CloutHub: Social Networking Reviews

by Statevillain

A significant number of members are either naive or intentionally posting fake stories. One yesterday, “Pelosi taken away by US Marshall’s.” Just like everything else social media this site attracts flies. And you can’t just delete your account! You have to tell support WHY before they delete it for you. That’s some freedom, isn’t it? I was hoping for a place that was different than the rest, but I don’t want anything to do with it. Hopefully the developers get it together one day. How people stay here or rate it higher than 1 is just baffling!!!!

Constant network errors. So called free speech alternative is basically more like talking to yourself because the groups have moderators that have to approve your “free speech” post. Might as well take my chances on Twitter snd FB at least I can actually engage on those platforms without waiting a week to see if the comment was allowed. Even more annoying when you type out a comment and hit send only to get “network issue”. Gab is equally horrible alternative. I have more this app posts on my feed then anything. You have to read an encyclopedia to figure out how to do anything and even after you figure it out there is constant networking errors. Telegram is the worst out of all the alternative platforms. I’ll be heading back to Twitter and Facebook until Parler comes back or until someone makes a platform that is usable.

Where to begin. When I first started using this app I didn't like the fact you could not control who came through your feed so I decided to leave and asked them to delete the account. Months later ai came back to try it again. Imagine my surprise to find the account was NEVER deleted. I said ok let's try it again. It's supposed to be new and updated version. I am only following a half dozen people supposedly yet only ONE of those people I want to follow comes through my feed. I have to go to the other people's pages to see their posts. I contacted them about it. Still not fixed and then last time I went on my profile picture was gone. Who was messing with that? I am done with them. Too much trouble.

Just as bad as any other social media with just as many people taking liberties with the truth. Took a look around. Bad sources. No sources. A lot of “My truth, your truth” instead of just the truth. Site is slow, unreliable and jerky. Needs a LOT of work if they intend to replace Twitter. Go read a good book instead. Not one of these places is worth spit. No landscape mode, can’t scroll messages. You miss all your messages because you have to “force drop” them and it goes to the newest so you miss all the ones before. After that, you have to wait for another message to appear and force drop that one. If 2 are waiting, you miss one because it goes to the newest again. CLUNKY AND NOT USER-FRIENDLY. if you use an iPad…forget it. You have to turn it into a pretzel to use the site.

Thought it would be a good website to keep up with the news being omitted and/or deleted from other platforms. The newsfeed is full of junk from some people I’d rather not waste my time on. You can subscribe to a group but you have to go to it’s link to see what is posted (does not automatically show up on your feed). Also, they make it VERY DIFFICULT to delete/deactivate your account even if you want to leave (and your phone number is required to set up an account). To remove your account, you have to email their support team and tell them why you’re leaving. As hard as it was to create an account, I had hope that it would be more professionally administered. I hope they update CloutHub to make the deactivation process easier if they don’t clean up the newsfeed.

Started out really good. But lately not so much. Keeps updating every day ..really! Now had to delete and soft reset my phone to get CloutHub to work ,but still not good. Can’t see my posts , no pictures with stories , sometimes no stories. Use to have directions on how to use not anymore u should bring back for those of us that only occasionally post or follow a poster. Up ur game

by Kauwila

CloutHub is great and I like the idea of free speech, and I can easily part links and text online with a browser, but I've found it EXTREMELY CLUNKY just to make a post of text and / or link from CloutHub (using iphone 7, ios 12.?). In any potential text box that comes up, I tap in the text box, then tap "paste", and nothing happens.. Nothing gets pasted.

I want to be able to post FROM CloutHub , WITH CloutHub . I've have been unsuccessful so far at this. Don't know what to do from here.

I did share a FB post with it, but it shows NO details and NO title about what I posted.

I just signed up, and I have been running into difficulties constantly. When it said my account was created, I literally could do nothing until I turned my phone back on this morning. I received an email requesting feedback on how easy it was to set up. I clicked on it, and got an error screen. I managed to create my profile photos and follow a few people, but I can’t see where you go to see their posts other than their profile page. What’s the point of following them if their posts don’t appear for you anywhere? I tried going up to the question mark at the top, but when I tried to click on a link in the help center, nothing happened. So far I’m disappointed and unimpressed with it. I gave it 3 stars only because it’s probably new.

I joined this app because I do not believe in censorship. The laws of libel & slander exist to ensure untruths are not endorsed. While I agree ALL violence needs to stop immediately until ALL avenues of remediation have been explored. However I do want to go to a platform where a multitude of ideas can be explored, respectfully. So far this is what I see. It is not just political, but social as well. I pray it will stay that way. I’m done with FB & the Twitt. Waiting for Parler to get a new platform to return there. Friends are here, & it’s enjoyable. Try this app.

I was able to sign up and started using a couple hours ago. Several times CloutHub froze, it crashed once, and now when I try to post to the Elect 2020 page it returns an error about “technical difficulties.” I hope these are growing pains that will be resolved soon.

by PapaGrande

I like CloutHub over all, but two things are a buggered and need some attention. A) 200 character size limit? Really. Twitter blew that out some time back. B) I use an iPhone. The notifications badge never clears and resets. This is not a big deal, but it is quite annoying to my OCD. I’m very close to deleting CloutHub from my iPhone and using it only on the PC. Otherwise, it’s quite nice. Cheers..

There is always room to grow but I have never seen more ambition and growth in development. I gave it a try after trying others and enjoy the categories in the bottom window. They are expanding to other things so that the social experience can be improved. All social media environments have drawbacks but this one will make a difference.

by Bobakral

this app has performed great, CloutHub is easy to use. Of course there are a few lunatics on here but your going to get that everywhere you go. I love that you need a phone number to have an account to help keep out the bots. It’s not Twitter or Facebook and for that I’m grateful. People need to be able to voice there opinions and so far this app allows that.

I love CloutHub, I allways wanted to be herd, And this app lets me be herd. UnLike Twitter witch you have to hope you get herd, Wood recommend CloutHub,

If you don’t want to be silenced😎🎉😂😍😊 Platform is great, still working out bugs, I love this platform after Twitter, And. Facebook, Are becoming a horrible places to be. Everyone on this app, Or. Az we say social media 2.0, appears to be nice, professional, and not a bunch of bullies like I have seen on Twitter And Facebook, in the past year. I’ve been on Twitter,
And Facebook, For 5 years, I have many followers, and many like me are slowly migrating to this new app. There are some bugs but that is to be expected as they are growing phenomenally within the first few weeks, And months,I just joined this past week,
. If you are looking for a place that you feel at home the way Facebook used to be when you had fun with it years ago, and combine the attributes of Twitter and the way it works, I highly recommend CloutHub. Once it is completely functional I see it taking over on social media

by Refinedk9

As more and more ideas are censored on other platforms, I am so grateful to have a place to still connect. From conservative values like family and country spiritual inspiration and enlightenment pages, one by one my favorite pages being censored. Hopefully more of these groups can find their way to this app.

by Biggles0311

CloutHub is great, until they do to you what they did to Parler and other sites, and they WILL do it. What happens when you get booted off CloutHub stores? Because that will happen too. Once they realize there is just too much free-speech happening here you’re going to be a threat. Hopefully you get ahead of this because no free speech or free thought app is going to last long on CloutHub stores. They are coming for everyone.

by Elie Hiscott

I absolutely love CloutHub and how it’s set up. If there were one thing I’d like to see changed, it would be the number of characters when making a post. I would like to see that go up to at least 1000 characters so we don’t have to abbreviate our posts and/or comment rather than just a measly 300 characters. Otherwise, fabulous app. Love it. Glad I have it. So much better than Twitter ever was. Thank you this app for giving us a “home”!

Very slick interface, combines best parts of Facebook and Twitter and best of all, NO CENSORSHIP, NO SHADDOWBANS, NO SCREWY ALGORITHMS.

Get off Facebook, Get off Twitter—or at least start your transition. Important to tell your friends to use Clout because obviously a social media network is more enjoyable if your friends and family are in the network.

There are very few kinks (maybe 2) but that’s a given for a early stage social media app. The founder, Jeff, responded to me almost immediately and said they are releasing an update very soon. Can’t imagine Zuckerberg or Dorsey responding directly to a user.

by Iwon'tshutup

I had no choice but to leave a social media site- not because they shut me down but because if I stay on an app that violates the constitutional rights of people with differing opinions, it’s only a matter of time before they’ll silence everyone. Only allowing a singular viewpoint creates a monotonous environment. If we can’t speak freely about our ideals, beliefs and opinions, then we are living under tyranny.
this app allows all voices and viewpoints to be heard- and what our constitution protects. You can choose to live in a bubble or you can choose this app and exercise your freedom of an open exchange of facts and information and a place to express your opinion without fear of being silenced.

When you start censoring a sitting President, that’s when I leave. No more FB or Twitter for me! I was happy to find this alternative; it allows me to stay connected with the people and groups I followed on FB. It gives me hope for the continued existence of free speech in our country. I pray you are allowed to continue! (One suggestion: allow CloutHub to be used in landscape mode...same as the website.)

by Fugthat

What is your reasoning for keeping Americans from getting information from the internet and you think you have the authority to block us?
I hope you’re prepared for lawsuits coming at you like the Red tsunami in November.
Then your holier then thou attitude will change.
You are disgusting human beings keeping information that we are permitted to see from us.
Short drop, quick stop is possibly in your near future.

by Daverburgess

I mostly use a tablet and the lack of landscape mode is a problem.
It’s a great platform, just needs tweaking to make it even better.

by Rob Chopper

It is a pleasure to see an unbiased sight that doesn’t look terrible. this app is moving along rapidly and will soon surpass the big boys with functionality and their desire of true Civil Discourse! A breath of fresh air and on the scene at just the right moment. Good Work Jeff and Co.

by Happiejack

I have had such a hard time seeing how much censorship is going on on the “ FB” and “ Twitter” I will use Clout Hub from now on because America wants FREE SPEECH , I want free speech, fair, great moderators. Why not come and give us a try. You’ll be glad you did!

by Mom3_NC

This is the best app! I love how open and free this app is. It’s so wonderful to have a place to share ideas and news without being censored or put in “jail” because the founders have differing views and “fact” checkers don’t have agendas.

by Gleeson Girl

Nothing is blocked here; no Twitter or Facebook Police to tell me I cannot post or that my post is offensive! The only rule is No cussing; which is nice, I don’t like reading that language.
There is quite a bit of political posts that need to be weeded through lest one be mislead.

by Hugteri

Loving this app. Have been attached to FB so long never really looked for another until they started blocking people. Been with FB 18 years. Time to move on and try something different. Suppressing peoples ability to dislike something is not hate speech it’s a right to choose not to go with the status quo.

by Macsiphone

I like CloutHub !!
Many changes coming to fix the landscape issue with iPad and there will be a website format.
Posting has options to edit and you can now post 4 pics at once -
more and more signing up daily
I rated 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

by CyndCyndy

Please, please, please make your app iPad friendly! I mostly use my iPad and the fact that screen is geared only for phone and doesn’t rotate will, in the end, be a deal breaker for me.

Other than that I love the layout and functionality of CloutHub and look forward to watching it grow.

by Newschik

CloutHub should replace Twitter. While it’s still getting some kinks out, it demands the posts be civil in tone and language. It also is bot-proof. Data is not sold. Users are not subjected to shadowbans. Posts can be edited without having to take them down and start again. In general, a thinking man’s social media app.

by 1Shawnster

Always improving and adding new caveats of interesting social media community tools!
The place to be with freedom of speech at the heart of this wonderful community!
