Check it out!

This is the new front page for the Nexian E-Magazine. 😁

A team of editors will be working around the clock to ensure that this site is continuously updated with original articles via submission, as well as aggregated psychedelic news from all around the world.

The Nexian E-Zine can now be found at this site as well.

Here's a shortcut to the article submission page.

A huge thank you to The Traveler for doing an incredible amount of coding and incredible design work! And to all of the contributors, editors, and various others who have made this incredible undertaking possible. We're looking forward to the future of psychedelic news.
 
Wow, another great achievement! Thank you so much Traveler from the bottom of my heart. Watching something that has been around for years continue to unfold is just amazing.

The work you do and the work of every member on this website is astounding. The more we understand the more we can educate!

Much love!:thumb_up:
 
Looks really lovely.

I was wondering if there will also be a Facebook page of The Nexian? Are there plans for this?
 
I have a lot of issues with facebook but it can be a very useful tool for certain things...especially spreading information/knowledge among like minded people and bringing them together, as can twitter etc. They could help us reach a much wider group.
 
I'm not a fan of how much information Facebook collects on people. It's not nearly as secure as the Nexus for one.
 
Yeah I agree there, and that's actually my main issue with it. But I think its possible to use these structures of madness in ways where the benefits outweigh the possible downsides. I won't complain if we don't make one though, since it doesn't make much difference to me really

What site is as secure as the nexus? ;]
 
Wow, this is great. I was going to ask about sharing the news site on facebook myself, actually. Not creating an actual facebook page, but I think sharing it around facebook to like-minded individuals could be beneficial. Obviously they can find it as easily as typing it into a search engine anyway, but sharing the Nexian e-zine and news site on a social media platform like facebook could really spread the knowledge.
 
Be aware that at a certain point...ALL text and Artwork that you post on Facebook becomes their property.
This means they can do whatever they like with it and you have no legal recourse.
Personally I avoid FB like the plague.

Fair enough, but does it have to be as secure as the nexus? It is not a save haven for users of psychedelics, still there are a ton of people on there who choose to share psychedelica related stuff. I don't think that most users who share personal stuff on there are dumb or just don't know about facebook policies. There are enough people who are open about it on facebook... graham hancock for instance. Faqcebook, twitter and other channels are simply part of our culture. If you want to communicate to a broader audience, you have to utilize these channels for maximum effect. What would have happened to a CEO of a big company 20 years ago, who refused to buy TV ads because he didn't agree with some of the programming?

I also don't like facebook btw.

Are you refering to the status update hoax?

From their Tos

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).

That just means: You give them the right to display your stuff on facebook. Otherwise, you could just upload it and then sue facebook for using it
 
I don't really see a big difference between Facebook and Twitter when it comes to collecting data?
