Scripsio was excited to get out in the open as quickly as possible. But there’s always that concern about under-delivering, over-promising and simply offering a bad experience at a time when first impressions are perhaps most important.

On one hand, Scripsio needs a lot of work. But, on the other, a lot of it works already. So, are we ready for Beta? We really don’t know for sure. So we’re inviting you to come on over and take it for a test drive. Let us know if Scripsio really is ready for Beta. If so, here we go. If not, let us know what it still needs to be mature enough to embrace the Beta designation.

What is Scripsio?

That probably depends on who you ask. For some, it’s a community site. For others, a social platform. And yet a few will think of it as a Steem UI.

For us, it’s all those, and more. Scripsio is the culmination of a dream to have a multiuser, multisite (multiblog) social community without censorship, but also with built in features to promote mutual consideration. On top of this is the desire to create monetization options so that there are opportunities for everyone who wants to, to engage in a way that provides some profit.

Freedom

But we also wanted to stay out of the way. Your relationships are yours. From Scripsio’s perspective, it’s up to you to build them and nurture them. You don’t need some corporation attempting to demand how you behave.

On the other hand, folks need to be able to block content they don’t want to be subjected to. So we’re installing filters for NSFW and other categories that you can opt out of (not implemented yet). Hopefully that’ll provide an environment that is conducive to growth, freedom and mutual respect without anyone having to compromise their own principles and convictions.

Scripsio also respects your property. What’s yours is yours. This is why we’ve activated two features in your profile. You can download all your own data at any time. After all, it’s yours, right? But you can also delete it at any time. It’s sort of the danger button. Once you click it and approve the erasure, your info is deleted from our servers. There are exceptions, such as if you had any transactions on the site that have to be recorded. And we can’t erase what you’ve put on the blockchain. But you can delete it from the Scripsio servers.

Privacy

As you can see in our Privacy Policy, we do not sell you out. It’s your information. We will use general information regarding categories and traffic flow to help with analyzing what works and how we may serve you better, as well as in our pursuit of more effective advertising and other opportunities. But your personal information will not be sold, ever.

As you can see, we do not ask for very much information. The only reasons we ask for your birth date is for NSFW purposes and to protect children. Otherwise, you can use whatever information for your profile that suits you. We do verify the email address to at least set a low wall of entry, to help reduce spam and harassment.

This is also one of the reasons we do not have any sort of fiat gateway on the site. While we may do so eventually, it will have to be through a third party that verifies your identity. Simply put, we don’t want to be responsible for that information and we want you to be able to engage freely on Scripsio without concern regarding your personal information. Therefore, our goal will be to provide tools to facilitate exchanges in digital cryptos/tokens.

Well, let’s wrap it up for today. If you’re not on Scripsio now, you can click the link at the bottom and read this there. It’s all integrated with Steem.

For now, please check it out and let us know what you think. Then let’s build it into someplace we feel safe and that we can all be proud of.
