Great way to connect with others! I've had really positive experiences using Openweb on tons of different sites. I keep coming back to places where this platform is embedded! Super easy to use.

They don't stop hate speech Openweb are astonishingly bad at their stated mission of curtailing hate speech and harassment. Reporting has no impact regardless of how vile or callous someone behaves. Worse than that, they deliberately make it hard or impossible to send them feedback so they don't have to acknowledge what a bad job they're doing. Comments sections moderated by Openweb are some of the worst I've ever seen on the internet.

I'd give it a zero stars if I could I'd give it a zero stars if I could. I'm a regular on several different media outlets that use OpenWeb as their comments platform, and it's the worst I've ever seen. Nazis, Klanners, neo-Confederates, hate groups of all kind, and Russian propaganda trolls are their favored user base, and are allowed to post any racist, bigoted, hateful screed they want, 24/7/365 with near-total impunity, while anyone who speaks out against these Reich-wing trash can expect to be shadow-banned (OW's favorite tactic; apparently they're too stupid to realize that you can tell easily enough.) Basically, all the complaints here from Reich-wing "conservatives" is utter hogwash. Take a look at any place that uses OW and see. Try HuffPost for an example.

Open web silences conservative voices Open web silences conservative voices. You can post facts about Joe Biden. And make statements that you believe he is more of a racist than Trump, and your comments get rejected. The left can put all kinds of baseless allegations about Trump and it is published freely. I need to stay off Yahoo when they use such a deceptive moderator.

Banned by OpenWeb Unfortunately I wasn't given the option of giveing OpenWeb/AOL no stars. I've been banned from making comments on AOL by OpenWeb and I have no idea why. There was no notification. Their supposedly purpose is "to bring conversations back from social networks to publisher sites". But it's more like their purpose is to silence those they don't agree with. There's no way to contact OpenWeb and I did call AOL. But, they just said to file this issue on their feedback. I'm sure it went right into the bit bucket.
