Tribel Reviews

by Moria V.

I used this app for a while until one of their recent updates, which locked me and many others out of our accounts. IT and just any communication with this app have been non-existent from the start and that hasn’t changed with this latest issue. Many were forced to make new accounts in order to keep using it. I’m holding off because I’m not sure it’s worth it. Other bugs have included a photo of women in a hijab that took over Tribel and appeared in many people’s profiles and messages. Again, zero communication from this app. Many people’s posts are frequently duplicated and posted a second time a few minutes later. Difficulty linking news stories or photos to messages. Difficulty reporting abuse, especially on iPhones. I’m pretty fed up at this point.

I am hoping these are just because it is growing. Even though I ask for it, I don’t get notification on the icon. Also, it never saves what I do and don’t want to see on my timeline. Every time I go back on, I have to re-save my favorites and what I don’t want to see. And a lot of times unless it is one specific subject, I can’t go to breaking or trending. Even when I do the following and it is under all categories, the timeline will stop after about a dozen posts. at first, when I used to follow somebody it gave me a suggestion of other accounts I might be interested in. But ever since I did the update that allowed me to get an @, I don’t get any suggestions anymore, it is just blank. I’ve reached out and asked for help. But I think it’s been about a week and nothing.

Just from viewing the very first posts presented you will see a specific pattern emerge immediately. Scroll a little further and as it continues you start to realize that it isn’t just by chance you continue to see ONLY left leaning posts, that’s all that is being fed to you on Tribel. Clearly opposing views and opinions are censored and banned by Tribel, which is the exact opposite of democracy and freedom of speech. This is a horrible app run by propagandists who can’t accept that not everyone is going to agree on every subject and the freedom to be allowed to express our views is not only fundamental but the very foundation of democracy. It’s utterly shameful that this is how social media companies try to run things and apps that ban people from sharing a viewpoint that differs from their own should all be shut down for even attempting to upend and undermine the freedom of speech we’ve all been born with.

This platform is a complete and utter failure. All it did was give boomers yet another platform for them to spread their toxic views and embarrassing inability to hold stable and coherent debates. What you’ll find on this platform are decrepit liberals cannibalizing people who are literally on the same side as them but yet feel the need to spout unhinged cheap political rhetoric that they themselves lack any sound understanding and literally have no desire to have a reasonable discussion even if it’s about the same views as them. It’s like if they aren’t frothing out their mouths and projecting their anger onto a living thing, they implode. Don’t even bother with this site; because if you defend yourself against one of these old troglodytes that come at you, they report you and this app will ban you without warning even though you’ve been with them since the very beginning.

Did the update to no avail. Unable to post personal pics/writing. Will not upload- just keeps spinning. Really want to dump Facebook. My main reason of using is for sharing with overseas family. When this works I will edit?

by Desy-Dez.

The interface has not been designed to function like Twitter, which has the best interface of all platforms for mobile users.

For me, navigating through this platform is like going back to kindergarten.

And just for scale and intellectualism, Facebook compared to Twitter is like being in a 4th grade elementary school compared to a PhD dissertation that is Twitter.

Here, homepage remains the same, no new news. And it seems, there are no females on the platform. Only men follow me—do they think, this is a dating app?—And from what I can see, no news organizations have migrated here yet.

At least since I joined 24 hours ago, have not seen a single news outlet or news post. Just a couple of scammers and members calling them out.

Very disappointed. Scammers making their way here; visually and navigationally, platform is in early Alpha stages. And, I’m sure, this app can do so much better than that!

Twitter’s end user design is simplicity at it’s best. Stop complicating this interface with so many categories and subcategories which allows for the formatting to resemble Reddit rather than Twitter. Keep it simple. Twitter simple.

Just downloaded Tribel less than 5 minutes ago and finding some glitchy behaviour. 1) Through I was able to change the country I live in, the city I live in is not listed in the drop down. Instead the drop down offered the state I live in. Makes me think you IT Department folks need a refresher course in not only geography but how to look up countries, states and cities.
2) I wanted to add the country and city I am originally from and pffft! No can do! Thankfully I was able to delete the totally unrelated country it chose ‘for’ me!!
3) The site itself seems like it’s running slow which is always frustrating no matter what site.
4) I definitely have my fingers crossed that this app gets its act together rather than turning into the same kind of ‘big fail’ that FG’s Truth Social is.

Far, far, far too repetitious. I hope I Mady point. If the entries on the site are as repetitious as your introduction, you need an editor you will value and follow instructions. If you do have an editor and follow instructions and you r posts are as repetitious as the introduction to your site, you need to move that person to another position and select someone else to write your introduction room to your site.I would hope that educated and intelligent readers would agree with my suggestion. I am going to look at both your site and Twitter as the entity I last worked at ceased to receive funding so I now have the time to read what interests me on Twitter and Tribal (and I hope I spelled correctly the name of your site that I only glanced at.)if comments were more concise and shorter, more might read them.

by Brihitzoey

It’s too slow and doesn’t load fast

by Zeldakix17

Finally something that isn’t TruthSocial and a lot better by the way every time I click profile it crashes every time fix this. I’m tired of Mark Zuckerberg and his stupid website you guys gotta fix this.

by Tricia - A Witch Awakens

I’m really enjoying the this app experience especially being able to post without fear of being thrown in FB jail for the stupidest of things, the smaller number of trolls (although they are making their way over to annoy us), the total lack of ads and bots. It’s a rather refreshing experience. 😊

My complaints are purely cosmetic and functional in nature. Due to my extremely poor eyesight, I would love a larger font size. I am spoiled by the different emoji choices under the like button on FB and would really like to have a few choices other than just “like” on here. Also, I would like to have control over the order my pictures post when I add more than one at a time. Sometimes they do need to appear in a particular order…

Although none of the above issues will make me leave the platform, it would be nice if they could be addressed sometime in the near future to help make it more user friendly.

Tried this app for the first time a number of months ago and was pleasantly surprised at the structure and generally like the content environment. I was off the platform for a few months - now I can’t see any of the content I previously posted and private messages have also disappeared. The platform also has gotten more glitchy. For example. When I go to my profile and click on “About,” the screen goes white and I can’t exit out of it. I have to turn my iPhone off, then back on in order to get back to the platform’s home/landing page. I was really hoping to finally delete my profile from the “X” platform to go all in on this app, but it still has a few kinks to work out.

by Purrsyn Catlover

IG censors me often when I use trump in a post. It warns me to be polite and adhere to rules every time I get ready to comment. They even deleted a post I made about a rescued kitten who was flourishing and cute as anything. I use this app mostly for political things. I'm never censored or warned.
They also list categories of interest from which you choose so you don't see unwanted content. They don't fill my feed with things in which I'm not interested. I can also share from IG so easily, it's a great companion site, though it's great on it's own.

by Brittani-92

Keep in mind that there is a certain group of people with an ulterior motive behind posting negative reviews of Tribel. That said, it’s nice finally having an alternative for the popular hate filled social media alternatives filled with misinformation and outright fake news (the real kind). My complaints so far is issues loading my feed sometimes and a bit of delay sometimes when posting comments. Given the newness of Tribel, these hitches are to be expected and I hope Tribel does grow and the developers improve upon it.

by 1stCeye

I just got the ipad version. My ipad is updated. But all that is happening is I tap OPEN, and get sent to a copy of Tribel that is where I tapped OPEN. What do I need to do to get into Tribel! ** I want to use Tribel since FB keeps deleting my posts about a certain orange fellow! I would love to share my post with people who will read them. Please help me. ABOUT 15 minutes later…….WOW, I just checked back in and I’m In!!! Thank you for such a great response! I KNOW your users will get the best app. PS, I’m an ELDER (one who shares lifetime experiences and will listen AND teach the younger generations.) at 71…🤠😃

by Old Man Dancing

I've been looking high and low for an alternative to the joke that Twitter has become. Everything that I've used up until now has had at least one major downside. If Tribel has a major downside, I haven't found it yet. Tribel has great promise, and I am thinking that it may be my new home. I'm even considering investing in Tribel, but I don't know whether to make a very small investment so it won't make any difference if it goes south, or to take a risk and get in on a little bit bigger investment.

by JoanneL148

I really got tired of reading the pack of lies created by paid provocateur’s, and the completely made up political disinformation regurgitated by the legions of the easily misled on Twitter. I want news from reputable sources and I don’t care about the opinions of those who’s only aim is to tear down our country and get gratification from the resulting chaos.I want to read the opinions of those who matter who give me insight into what is going on or around the world and let me know what the average person can do to help. That’s why I like Truth Social.

by EthelMurtz

this app is an impressive and user friendly alternative to Twitter and other social media platforms. In the week since I joined, this app allows longer posts and seems to encourage more intelligent conversation. I have seen improvements in the short period of time that I have been exploring.

My only usability suggestions are to make “select an audience” easier and not put as many notification at the top. I feel like the position at the top covers the navigation and interrupts my flow as I wait for it to fade out.

All in all a much better experience.

by Turtle Speaks Rainbows

I have been on this app for about a week. It’s easy to use! It took a couple of days to get used to where everything is. I think that’s true for any new platform. There is always a learning curve. I’m 65 and have had a stroke and I understand the different categories. I love to be able to go to Breaking or Trending and get my daily news. On the home page I can glance and read, if I want, all the sub-categories I picked. Again, I can’t say enough good things about this social platform. Thank you for creating it.

by Susie A T G

this app in my generation speak "tells it like it is."
Thanks to a previous president, the world has many actually less nice people in it, hatred for people differences has escalated, hatred for anything out of the norm has escalated, kindness, thoughtfulness, intellect & reasoning has decreased, and many of us are afraid to be smart, kind, thoughtful, and afraid to vote for good people! Well, no more! Read more news on this site that does tell it as it is! Read news from thinkers! Reasoners! Mensch! Don't let this country become the good country that used to be! If the next president is a demagogue, he will be your new god. You thought Hitler and his ilk were bad? Just wait! Watch this app! Read this app! Think this app! Don't give up! Don't turn your back on goodness!

by Yourmotherisapig

First let me preface my review with, I’m older and didn’t get on Twitter till 2016. Twitter was a easier to learn. Probably because they had worked out all the kinks by the time I joined. I like Tribel, I’m just finding it a little difficult to figure out how to use it. I don’t understand why I need to select an audience for a post, but I’m sure with a little time, I’ll figure this out.
I’m really happy that y’all developed Tribel and I look forward to it getting better as we all learn along together.
P.S.
I know some younger people are like, omg, why are old people on social media, if they don’t understand how to use it?
I’m on it, so I can learn from people younger and smarter people than me on how to leave the world a better and safe place for my grandchildren and their grandchildren to come.

by Grob535

Signed up for this as a result of the escalating demise of Twitter. Think Tribel is a more than suitable alternative. Quality design and flow. Seems pretty easy to navigate. To this point, the culture seems fine. I’m not one who feels everyone should be the same. I do however draw the line at things like racism, anti-semtism, fascism, etc. Not really ground breaking to be against the worst of us. The unfiltered lying that has been allowed to go on (and now actively encouraged on Twitter) is an easy line to have. There is no discourse with that mentality.

Honestly believe this app will continue to get better over time. Give it a try.

by Greyghpst

As someone who has grown tired of Facebook. A place where there are overwhelming advertisements, pitches from at best sketchy companies along with Facebook having strayed from the concept of a platform simply allowing people to connect to friends. It has become a hotbed of political drivel, recriminations against others and the potential sale of personal information strictly to increase their already bloated bottom line.

Several people told me of a new platform that isn’t controlled by the right wing nut cases and that platform is this app.

It’s still growing and it is exciting to be in at its infancy. The people who are on this app are intelligent, open minded and often have a wicked sense of humor. It is a welcoming place and I suggest you investigate this app for yourself.

by Fieldsfactor

I’ve been using this app for a little over a week, and wow! What a refreshing and positive take on how to execute a social media platform. I haven’t seen any hateful rhetoric, bullying, fear-mongering, or negativity trolling, which is almost shocking considering what Twitter, Facebook, etc. have become. I hoped it would be a kinder and more open-minded place, and I’ll be damned if it hasn’t substantially exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for a positive coal media experience without the overwhelming toxicity, I’d highly encourage you to take a look at this app and give it a try!

by Tom E Mullen

i’ve been using Tribel for a month or so. It takes a little bit of getting used to and of course it has its glitches as all platforms do at first. But, I am loving the concept and direction that this is going.

It’s definitely a breath of fresh air that they take seriously the problem with the trolls and bots that are on the other social media platforms.

The more people that use Tribel the better it will be. Be sure to invite your friends and followers from other platforms for your best experience on this app.

by FamousLove69

I’ve been on Tribel about two weeks & let me say Tribel is SUCH a breath of fresh air & where they keep all the lies, conspiracy theories that the far right keep spewing that should have been STOPPED years ago when 45 started spreading these lies!! Thank you to the creators of this app because this is how all social media sites use to be like BEFORE 45 got to the spotlight & I prefer this app over Musk’s NEW Twitter because it now spews nothing but hate, racism, lies & Musk only wanted to buy Twitter to interfere in this election & in 2024 as hes a MAJOR conservative cuz he only likes the GOP & dont give a hoot about the little people who made him a billionaire thats why I advertise ppl to join this app as much as I can & get ppl off of Twitter!!

by Blopop209

I have been using Tribel for a little over a week and I truly enjoy the experience! I don’t really use social media because it has been used for such negative reasons and to promote false narratives throughout our world, and especially in our great country! I believe expression of views is very vital, but when people spread intentional mistruths in order to create dissent among the general public I object and refuse to participate! I enjoy the sharing on this app, and so far have found very little to criticize about Tribel . It seems to function very well, and it is very simple to use. I know a lot of people will find some of the views to their disliking, because truth hurts! However, I truly find Tribel a great alternative to the others! It functions a great deal better than some of those that have been around for years!

by Litehaus2

I wanted a Social Platform were I could Do What I Want, When I Want, With Whoever I Want, Anytime I Want. Using Standard Common Courtesy, Being Honest, Straightforward & Forthright in an all American Manner. Without having individuals that do not really practice the above traits manipulating & rerouting or sending me texts regarding my content & giving me an opportunity to change it to the Monitor’s approval. Or not allowing my comments to be posted & sending post straight to Drafts without my consent or being notified. That’s the New Twitter.

by Froglady4

I have found this app allows you to speak your mind without being put in jail ,like FB for factual and historical information. One example is being put in FB jail for 30 days for posting a picture of Joseph Goebbels and his quote about repeating lie and people will believe it. This is factual historical information. I could go on with other examples. When I reported hate speech of FB, they informed me it did not go against their community standards. It seems their standards are completely arbitrary. I have been much happier with this app. I find less total hate and racism.
I’d love Tribel.

by MareBax

I came to this app, not too long after Elon Musk took over Twitter. I came to this app because I can speak my mind and not be censored. I came to this app because I share a lot of the same beliefs as other members of tribal every day.
I came to this app because if I speak my mind here, I don’t have to worry about being put on hold with Twitter because they don’t like my opinion. I post something new in this app at least 10 times a day now.
I follow and make friends with more followers daily and we share laughs ,pets animals ,jokes and politics, mostly politics, right

by LianeG

Just joined and I’m liking the no ads, there are still fakes and spammers. Would like to have the feature to delete spammer’s comments from my posts, in addition to blocking them.

by Tomaskenn

Finally! A well designed social media app that offers an alternative to Facebook. Highly recommended!

by Tonii1031

Por fin un social media app donde puedo separar lo que puedo ver en categorías ! Finally a social media app where I can see feeds separated by categories! I really like this and the people are nice here!

by Riverojavier

This is what we’ve been waiting for!

by Jatbnyc

Finally! social media done right 👍🏽

by Etsjoy2

Just downloaded it and it works great…..love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

by CristoferReyes

I am in love with Tribel , it’s an app full of smart people who always comment or post from a critical point of view, etc.

The design of Tribel is perfect, at this point I wouldn’t change anything from it. Since I downloaded it, I have not used other apps such as Facebook or Instagram and I do believe that Tribel will soon compete with Facebook or Instagram.

Do I recommend it? Of course yes!

I have a few days using Tribel and I can safely say that it’s perfect, below a few reasons why:

1- Meeting people:

- You can add friends by sending friend requests that people accept or deny.
- You can also “Follow” people and in those cases they do not need to accept you.

2- Posting and Privacy:

- *One of the best features*; every time that you post something, you need to select a category in which your post will appear (politics, humor, motivation, pets, traveling, and a lot more).

- You can post pictures, videos, and everything and choose who will see those posts (if you only want your friends to see it, etc).

3- Feed:

It has four (4) sections where you can see posts:

- “Breaking” section : You will see the most recent posts of people who uses Tribel (which is perfect, because you can find interest things there that you did not know about before).

- “Trending” section (one of the best ones) : You will see the posts that are trending on Tribel and that people have liked/commented the most ( I love that because with that feature I realized that most of the users are people who actually talks about interesting things and lets you know that you are interacting with SMART people and not just people posting nonsense).

On this section you’ll also get a lot of likes and followers when one of tour posts trend.

- “Following” section: You’ll se the posts of the people that you follow.

- “Friends” section: You’ll see the posts of the friends that you have added.

—————————-

There is a lot more, so I may edit my review later on if possible.

What a great site.

by L O R I E

this app has many categories to choose from or choose multiple ones. Some of everything!! I’ve been here quite a while and having a blast!! Lots of great people here. Suggestion: TRY IT!!!

by Songwriter168

this app is a free speech haven for people that believe in democracy and are against a fascist takeover of the US. this app has been getting right wing trolls trying to start trouble and spread hate lately. Fascists always want to be in control that’s what fascism is not having a choice. Self determination is the natural human condition, it’s always been my belief that the idea for democracy sprang from that. Right wing trolls are not successful on this app and often get removed for posting hate speech. Hate speech to me is not free speech because it’s purpose is to demean people and encourage violence. this app is a forum for free speech and is pro democracy.

by Pjtpeter

I’ve been waiting for a competitor to Facebook and Twitter for a long time, and it’s finally here. Tribel is sleek and has all of my favorite features. It even has a bunch of cool new features like the feed that I can customize and being able to send my posts to a specific audience, which is so cool. Godspeed, this app!
