    they charge money to see posts that were posted by premium members.. they have none of the features that Facebook has.. literally the only thing it has at this point in time, is a main feed wall to share posts, that's it.

    Minds keeps sending messages to join groups or discover pages etc. It cannot be disabled and its annoying.
