Not Ready for Prime Time
The site encourages video sharing (3 minutes max), and I have yet to see an upper limit on the length of individual written posts. You will find a handful of musical artists publicizing their work, and many churches posting brief snippets of their musical offerings. In addition to these video postings you will find a wide variety of video offerings by teachers from a multiplicity of theological angles.
Where ActsSocial is struggling is in the tech arena itself. What worked yesterday may not work today. You may or may not be able to log in. If you can log in, you may or may not be able to post content. The app/site loads painfully slowly, so patience is required. That does not flow in abundance in social circles.
The Notifications will always be full as the app informs you of every reaction to your post. These notifications are generic, telling you that “person X ‘acted’ to your post,” initiating a play on words involving the app name. These notifications are clickable, but the click does not work, unless you click “Show All” in which case you’ll see every “act” to your post. In this instance, you have about a 50/50 chance that clicking the “act” will take you to the post. If not, you have no idea what your co-user was “acting” to.
One interesting, recent update was the removal blocking ability. There is a blocked list. I’ve used it twice, and discovered its removal when attempting to use it a third time. So, at the moment, there is no means of blocking offensive, or abusive behavior. For example, there is a fair amount of “support our cause” posting. My wife and I choose our philanthropic targets with great care, and I’m exceedingly unlikely to donate to a Social Media account. The other example (one of my early blocks) is the “Use my formula and get rich with Jesus” scam.
With time and effort, ActsSocial can be a vibrant community, and a tremendous blessing to many who interact there. For me, it’s an exercise in frustration more than anything else. I’m not leaving…at least, not yet. So that tells you I do find value and potential there. So, if you’re patient, mount up and ride this pony with me and let’s see where it goes.
