Members Only is a series of informative blogs answering our most asked questions by Locals members directly from our Support Team.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\nWhat is Locals?<\/h2>\n
Locals is Subscription-Based Authentic Communities<\/b><\/p>\n
Locals is a subscription-based community platform that empowers content creators, giving them full control over their content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Think of Locals as a new and improved kind of social media. You can support creators, share and access content in newsfeeds, access or upload videos\/podcasts and create a community of your own, all on the same platform. These combined elements make Locals truly unique, awesome and like no other.<\/span><\/p>\n As a Locals member, you can join as many communities as you want for free! As a free member, you can view free posts and like posts within a community that you\u2019ve joined. If you want full access to content and the ability to interact, you\u2019ll need to become a supporter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Connect with Creators You Care about Uncensored<\/b><\/p>\n When you become a supporter, you\u2019re not only gaining access to the community creator\u2019s content. Your posts get published directly to their newsfeed, for the creator and other members to see. So you’re not just joining the community, you are <\/span>part<\/span><\/i> of the community! You can upload videos or share links, upload pictures and – you can even conduct community polls. Unlike other platforms, your direct participation really matters and helps the community grow!<\/span><\/p>\n As platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and even Patreon have begun censoring content, Locals has stepped up as the champion of free speech, for both members and content creators alike. Locals is now filling the role of what Social Media should be – a place to freely exchange ideas (with some, but very few limitations). <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>As a platform, Locals doesn\u2019t care what you post – as long as it isn\u2019t NSFW and doesn\u2019t violate U.S. law (pornography, inciting violence, etc.). Otherwise, we leave it to community creators to moderate their communities and allow them to decide what type of community they want to maintain and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n
