StoaSquare is a free public square for Charlotte County, Florida. Adult neighbors talk about local issues under their real names, next to the election dates and county services they need, with links to the official sources. StoaSquare is independent. It is not part of, and not affiliated with, Charlotte County government, the Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections, the State of Florida or any other government agency, and it does not run elections. It is nonpartisan: it does not endorse, rank or recommend any candidate, party or ballot measure, and it accepts no ads and no paid political content. WHERE THE FACTS COME FROM • Election dates, voting places and what is on the ballot: the Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections (soecharlottecountyfl.gov). • County services: Charlotte County government (charlottecountyfl.gov). StoaSquare staff check every date, place and phone number against its official source before it appears, and each page links to its official source. Registering to vote, requesting a mail ballot and finding your polling place happen on the Supervisor of Elections website, which the app opens for you. ELECTION CENTER (no account needed) • Key dates and a countdown to Election Day • Where and when to vote • Each race with its candidates in the same order and with the same space SERVICES (no account needed) • County services: plain names for the official county pages you need • Community services: local nonprofits and community groups • Local services: local businesses checked by staff. Being listed is free and is not a recommendation. TALK WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS (with a free account) • Posts appear newest first. Posts are never ranked, and nobody can pay to be seen. • Write posts with photos or a document (PDF, Word or Excel), reply, like, repost and quote. • Follow neighbors and issues (such as Roads or Schools), browse #topics, and search. • Start or join groups, add events and say you are going, and start or vote in polls. • Private messages and group chats. • Save posts for later, and make a voting plan with reminders of its dates. SAFE, AND IN YOUR CONTROL • Short community guidelines that every member agrees to. Debate about local issues and politics is welcome. Threats, harassment, hate, sexual content or nudity, graphic violence posted to shock, and selling illegal goods or drugs are not. Child sexual exploitation is always removed and reported to NCMEC, and that report starts the removal of the account that posted it, which a second admin confirms and nobody can cancel. • Report any post, reply, profile, group or message. Reports go to StoaSquare's moderators; in a group, some reports go first to the group's own moderators. • Block or mute anyone, mute words, and hide replies to your own posts. • Choose which alerts may reach your phone, and set quiet hours. An alert never shows the words of a post. A message's first words show only if you turn on message previews. • Download your data, or delete your account, at any time in Settings. YOUR PRIVACY No ads, no tracking tools, and your information is never sold. Other members see your name and @username, never your email address. The words of private messages are kept sealed (encrypted) on our server; photos and documents sent in messages are stored as ordinary files. StoaSquare is for adults 18 and older. You can read without an account. To post, reply, follow, message, vote in a poll or join a group, create a free account with your real name. Help and contact: Settings, then Help and contact, in the app. ## Is StoaSquare safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess StoaSquare. ## Is StoaSquare legit?
