FAQ
Although our website and app will have many of the same functionalities as Facebook (e.g., a news feed where members can post articles/videos/memes, DMing other members, groups), the Southern Time Community will only allow respectful dialogue between members. Complaints can be easily reported to our monitors, and members who do not respect our code of conduct will be disciplined. The Southern Time Community is very clear as to what its intentions are - to make the world a better place for all. If someone does not agree with this statement, the STC simply is not for them.
Social media sites have been accused of spreading 'fake news' and hate speech and action, so why not its opposite? We believe Cultural Creatives (around 500 million people in the world) if better connected and mobilized can positively change our world. And, what better way to address pressing local and global health, social, and environmental concerns than through a social media app? Sure, the current social media apps out there tend to only cater to individuals' desires to pontificate, put down others, or bask in virtual aggrandizement of oneself, but Cultural Creatives tend to care about serving others and the Southern Time Community app provides an outlet for such selfless ambitions. Like Lenny Kravitz in his song, 'Believe,' said, "If you want it, you got it, you just got to believe, believe in yourself..."
Necessity truly is the mother of invention. In only thirty years, our world has gone from no internet to a state where the virtual world is now competing with the real world. In olden times, people used to congregate around fires, in barns, in community halls, in places of worship, and in town centers. People do not have the time or they have too much time isolated in their private abodes but still have the desire to connect with other like-minds and do something positive in the world with the relatively short lifespan they have. The internet can be another place/tool for people to associate, learn, and grow from one another, and do something good in the REAL WORLD at the same time. The Southern Time Community exists for this reason. As King Solomon supposedly once said, "There is a time for everything."
