Imagine a greed-less platform for creators and makers. Can’t? Well, then we are here to stretch your imagination, but we need help!
First, we aren’t here to offer anything other than a community and a way to share information, goods, services, ideas, and made things without taking (although with marketplace or GPT use, we accept to help support functioning of the platform only, not 50 percent, 35 percent, or any other percent of your hard earned work). That’s it, the end, transparent as a ghost.
GHOST TOGETHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
That’s why Ghost Together community platform was created. Yes, we believe in creation, but it also evolves. Imagine the ad-free life, no monthly subscription attached. On Ghost Together, you are free to express thoughts, feelings, and ideas as long as you don’t attack anyone. You will be seen, but it’s not about being seen. People get frustrated. You can express frustration. But it’s not really a complain- activism community. Let’s help each other see what’s still right with the wrong. You will not be rewarded for being a self-centered talking head that says the same thing as everyone else and agrees with everyone else.
Ghost Together is a startup community, originally created for developers and other technology peeps to learn and share tips, so we welcome the shared experiences of tech learners and professionals. Now, it has grown into a kind of garden with a variety of people and interests.
All you do is check it out and create a user profile…depending on how much you want the community to know about you. No, you don’t have to put personal information. We aren’t here to promote that kind of paranoia for money.
COMING SOON: LOOMCRAFT MARKETPLACE
We at Ghost Together want a way to exchange goods and services that is more fair than what you may be used to. With many platform marketplaces, you are spending the time, effort, money for supplies and continuing education to build your craft. You sign up to distribute your work on a platform to build awareness. But by the time you have paid platform fees for usage and being seen, you receive a minimal cut.
The idea of implementing a marketplace through Loom is you don’t pay for ads unless your product sells. The Ghost Together Loom marketplace is Loomcraft.net. You can use your Ghost Together credentials to sign in and show your creations, and post directly from Loomcraft to Ghost Together!
REIMAGINING CURRENCY
So what is GT coin?
Well, think of it like we are in the lab together in this life experiment. Just trying to see what works.
Money makes the world go ‘round. Right? Except the world keeps going without it. As you may know if you ever didn’t get paid a fair amount for your work or just didn’t get paid on time. But the bills were there on time, ready to cut off your goods and services. So how long do we keep going on a greed-based system? Is it fulfilling, even for those who always want more?
The people I have asked answered they just want cash. They are used to a cash-based system. It feels safe. Ok, well, no one is asking people to switch to trading if they don’t want to accept trades. No one is asking for anything. That’s the point. No one is taking anything from you here. You get coins if you make a post, write something, draw something, create something. They are likes that you can use, not just likes to build up your ego (which is an illusion that will crumble when you don’t get likes). You still have your creation – book, art, knowledge – to sell for money, but you also have the coins to spend. It’s like getting paid twice.
