However, one hopes that this data pipe attracts the attention of online freedom activists.
It seems like it has even caught the attention of Anonymous.
The program is entirely open source and encodes all private messages that are transmitted between the users.
To encourage content, Minds promises to use a clearer and easier algorithm.
As Ottman explained it, this allows users on Minds to earn virality.
For a couple of years now, the website has been testing interfaces.
Ottman told Business Insider that it has reached 60 million visits without a formal launch.
Majority of the users who moved to Minds, said Ottman, were those interested in alternative media.
These are people who want to learn about citizen journalism and online freedom.
Over the last years, through these tests Minds has managed to attract a core group of online activists.
Anonymous is initiating a call to hackers, designers, creators and programmers to unite worldwide.
It remains to be seen whether or not this will help Minds to gather a core audience.
