Mentals is a new app that allows users to chat with each other. It was created by the same team behind TikTok and Instagram. The company says it wants minds to be more like Twitter or Instagram, where people can express themselves in different ways.
Bill Ottman is the creator of Minds, a social media platform with more than 6 million users. Bill has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. In this conversation, we spoke about the importance of free speech, Elon buying Twitter his thoughts on Lex Fridman and Kanye West, Elon buying Twitter, the importance of challenges/accountability, his time on JRE, and much more.
