Retalk
reviews and complaints

Retalk is a great place to be if you're looking for a conservative community to engage with. The conversations are always lively and there's always something new to talk about. The site encourages you to join groups based on your interests, or you can easily create your own group if you don't see one that fits your needs.

One of the things I really appreciate about Retalk is the variety of topics that are covered. Whether you're interested in politics, current events, or just want to chat with like-minded individuals, there's something for everyone. The site is also very user-friendly, so even if you're not particularly tech-savvy, you should have no trouble navigating it.

Another great feature of Retalk is the ability to connect with people from all over the world. It's always interesting to hear different perspectives on the same topic, and Retalk makes it easy to do just that. Whether you're looking to make new friends or just want to engage in some thought-provoking discussions, Retalk is definitely worth checking out.

Overall, I would highly recommend Retalk to anyone who is looking for a fun and engaging community to be a part of. The site is easy to use, the conversations are always interesting, and there's something for everyone. So why not give it a try and see what all the fuss is about?

So, I checked out Retalk.com, thinking it was a good place to share my conservative views. But, boy, was I wrong! I posted something and before I knew it, a bunch of lefties came out of nowhere and started attacking me. It was like they were a pack of sheep, following each other blindly. I didn't even last six hours on the site before I had to leave.

I mean, I get it. Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs, but it's frustrating when you can't even express them without being attacked. I thought Retalk was supposed to be a place for center-right and conservative voices, but it seems like the lefties have taken over.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Retalk to anyone who wants to have a civil discussion about politics. It's just not worth the hassle.

Retalk.com is a website that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. It's a complete waste of time. The site has a rule that you can only post if you get a certain number of 'likes'. If you make three posts that don't get any reaction, you are put on the naughty step and given a time out that can last for minutes or even hours. It's ridiculous!

I mean, who has time to sit around waiting for people to like their posts? It's not like we have all day to spend on this site. And what if you're new to the site and don't have any followers yet? How are you supposed to get likes then?

The whole thing is just a load of Bolleaux! I only gave it one star because the stupid site wouldn't accept my review without one. But honestly, it doesn't even deserve that.

Save yourself the trouble and don't bother with Retalk.com. There are plenty of other sites out there that don't have such ridiculous rules.

Retalk is a new website that aims to provide an alternative to Reddit for those on the American right. The creators of Retalk believe that Reddit is stifling conservative speech, despite the existence of popular conservative-leaning subreddits like r/Conservative and r/Libertarian. However, I believe that Retalk fundamentally misunderstands the issues with Reddit.

While there are times when moderation on certain subreddits is a problem, this is not an issue exclusive to any particular political ideology. Reddit does not provide much administrative oversight to moderators or controversial subreddits until it becomes a big deal in the media. From what I can tell, Retalk has not done much to address this issue. In fact, the site may eventually do less, as the people who use it are likely those who either cannot say what they want to say on Reddit or have been banned from it. This community will probably skew much further to the right than the centrist/centre-right ideology the site claims to espouse.

I am also unsure how Retalk plans to keep discourse civil when it uses a similar upvote/downvote system to Reddit. The voting system on Reddit has traditionally hindered open discussion, as people are encouraged to make the least forgiving interpretation of what others have said once they have received a certain number of downvotes. Retalk would benefit from transitioning to a more traditional style of forum without a karma system.

However, Retalk has implemented some good ideas. For example, users cannot downvote posts until they have reached 250 karma. This makes sense in the short term, as some people may sign up just to downvote everything they see on the site. It also reinforces the site's central idea of civil discourse, but in the long term, it may not be difficult to reach 250 karma. Most people who can control their more negative tendencies could probably achieve this within a day or two.

Another good idea is that users must be at least sixteen to sign up for a Retalk account, while a Reddit account only requires users to be thirteen. Although Retalk may not be able to effectively enforce this, the idea itself is good. If the starting age were raised to eighteen, it might help avoid some of the issues with pedophilia that Reddit has experienced over the years.

Overall, I am not optimistic about Retalk's future. There is a history of right-wing websites that are ostensibly conservative alternatives to popular sites, but they either fail to catch on, attract the worst possible users from the original site, or both. Retalk needs to introduce some features that Reddit does not have or does not do well before it can become anything other than a forgettable clone.
