Would you pay $5 to support an all black social network?

That’s a fallacy.
Not every company aims to overtake and defeat their “competition”
Some companies (like a vegan restaurant) aren’t trying to defeat McDonald’s. They are trying to turn a profit AND serve their specific customers.
That’s what this would be. A social network aimed at being a safe place for black people. That’s all.

No there are private black facebook groups for doctors, lawyers, businessmen etc. I know some which are more active than the coli in fact most of them are.
Would it be open to Black people with views that aren't popular with a lot of other Black people?

I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore
I would and the fact nikkas is saying no in this thread makes it better
It’d be a nice networking tool
There are pay in groups on Facebook, my family friend who is a millionaire runs his own group where he makes other wealthy people pay in
In fact, open and close the registration like the coli does on here
Anything to get off Facebook. There needs to be a small amount of nikkas that aren’t telegraphing their moves to non blacks so I’m glad most of y’all is saying no you’d rather have zuckerberg in ya shyt

Yes. The goal would be constructive discourse (when there are disagreements)
Insults, etc. would lead to people getting banned. I’m imagining an active moderator/admin who cares about the climate. I thought of the safeguard of having it be invite only, and a pay wall, so that only people who actually wanted a constructive place would join and invite others.
The pushback is real
but i genuinely appreciate every response. When I posted this, I thought it would be the complete opposite. Jokes on me

Too ahead of it’s time. It’s a good idea for people who want it.
Zuck said nazis don’t violate his rules, until there’s a good free version of your idea, i’d pay. I’m only on Facebook for business, that’s it.
Less old people on there, less stupid memes, less fake news.. no zuckerberg

I mean how else you gonna get people that on Black Twitter and Facebook and Instagram that legit built businesses and brands on that shyt that keep traffic going?
Your idea is more suited for a forum or a discord or a subreddit.
I remember back in the days that there were all types of political-leaning Black forums just a safe space for the politically minded, like AsataSpeaks or AfricanAmerica.org and they were free.
I mean blaqspace exists by the guy that created blaqspot, you should check it out. He had some problems with it.

I would pay $5 a month to support a black owned and operated social media site.

We are talking about services that already exist.
Ithe dialogue and have no I’ll will so sorry if I’m sounding bad. I want your opinion on the original topic, not a jaded version based on experience:
Let’s say there was a black developer who was trying to do something positive and exclusive for black people. Server costs, updates, etc would get expensive and that developer would need the support of the customers to keep it running and lively.
If that person made a community that focused on positive interactions around and for black people and made it invite only to keep the fukkery low (no “catches” or loopholes, remember this is just hypothetical, I’m not asking anyone for money in real life) what (if anything) would you be willing to spend to support it (if anything). OR, is that not something you would support?
That’s all I’m trying to ask and I’m sorry if I’m coming off the wrong way.
thecoli >>> SOHH
Because they listened to the users
As long as critique isn't met with "y'all just need to get on code" like 95% of "black" stuff,it will be great.
