Something happened IRL and I wanted to take a break from the Internet to clam myself down but honestly this is something I have to share with you guys.
Ratio is no longer with us and that ratio committed suicide. Ratio was someone that made me feel like I am worth being in this world and she helped me follow my dreams and to even help accomplish them. Even when ratio was not in her best mood she was still there for me and others and the impact she had will not be forgotten. The legacy she had on this site is something many will not forget and we will all know that her legacy will still live on even after her passing. We will all remember the impact ratio has made to this site knowing that her and many others helped change this site to what it is today. Many will know her as ratio but I will remember her as my big sister that was there for me and was the most caring person a person can ask for. May she rest in peace knowing she is in a better place now. I will miss her a lot but will always love her from my heart.

Okay, I checked it out, here’s my take on Blaze.
It really feels like everything is being shoved in user’s faces. Its a new social media that nobody has heard of, yet there’s clips, AI, direct and group messaging, and the such. For a new user, this really feels like too much to take in at once. The site, in my opinion, really needs to be simplified. Perhaps spend a little longer developing the AI and Clips part, and then gradually roll them out to allow for new and old users to get used to the new features.
The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that the site is built using Wix.
WYSIWYG editors can be useful in some situations. Social media is generally not one of them. You don’t have full control over your site (Wix still hosts the code), you don’t have total say in what happens to users (data collection) and things like that. It is much, much more beneficial to actually learn the programming languages appropriate for running a social media and its associated features. You can use graphical editors like Figma to design webpages and the like, but you really should ditch Wix and go for programming.
Also, you don’t have to go about designing and running a social media alone. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking someone else for help with code. I’m sure there are some people on this site who would be pleased to help you.
Fun Fact: You can upload short videos on Blaze, just like you do on TikTok or YouTube. Check out https://blazeapp.net/clips/ to upload your video today! :)
