To use live chat to its full potential, we recommend accessing our website, where our chat component is located, by entering your username (be careful not to enter your email address to log in, but your username, spelled correctly) and the (complete and accurate) password that each person chose and set in the registration form when they joined us, in one of the login forms (usually one at the top, one at the bottom, and one in the social area).

The visible module of our chat component, found by scrolling down, is titled “-Chat-Module-“ (obviously if you use automatic translation you will see “chat” or a similar name), and is a gray stripe, with a user group symbol, the word “Chat” or the name in your language, and in brackets is the exact number of people visible in the chat.

All our users know how to make themselves invisible so they aren't constantly disturbed, and this is our advice to everyone: to prevent other people, perhaps strangers, from contacting you without valid reason. To do this immediately after logging in, scroll down to the bottom of the web page until you see the words "-Chat-Module-" (obviously, if you use automatic translation, you'll see "chat" or something similar), and click on the gray strip with a user group symbol. The exact number of people visible in the chat is in parentheses. Immediately afterward, click on the gear symbol to the right. Select and click the second button from the top, which says "Turn off chat." Within seconds, the gray bar with a user group symbol, the word "Chat," or the name in your language, will change to "off." You'll still see the exact number of people visible in the chat in brackets . This number is constantly changing, and often, like you, some users are online and visible for only a few seconds. By default, you'll always be able to access the website in a visible way, but we recommend doing this, especially in the early stages, until we make the chat module invisible to our visitors. If anyone bothers you, we can block them and take appropriate action.

After disabling the chat module, you can browse our website confident that no one will be able to see you, or even contact you if they know you. Whatever page you visit and whatever activity you engage in, you will be invisible to everyone else in the chat module, and only in that specific module. In other features of our platforms, in other components, applications, and modules, based on their respective rules, you will be visible to those who are part of them, or according to your personal profile settings.

Turning off chat should become a healthy habit for everyone who joins us.

To communicate with others directly, you have not one but an infinite number of ways of all kinds, and we will discuss them in detail in the various informative articles dedicated to each of these communication methods, and in various informative articles.

But what happens if you forget to turn off chat as soon as you log in? You'll be visible for a certain period of time, and then if you happen to remain inactive, or if you read a very long article without changing pages on our website , our intelligent chat will automatically make you invisible until you decide to perform some activity or change pages, at which point you'll be visible again for a short time.

This feature is very useful if you don't want to be disturbed by just anyone, but only by those who know you, or only by those who contact you for legitimate and helpful reasons.

Reactivate chat after turning it off.

To reactivate the chat after turning it off, simply scroll down to the bottom and find the title "-Chat-Module-" (obviously, if you use automatic translation, you'll see "chat" or something similar). Then, click on the gray strip you previously changed when turning off the chat, where the "off" symbol appears, and where the exact number of people visible in the chat appears in brackets. The chat will immediately unlock, and you'll be visible to everyone again.

More gear symbol buttons.

The first button from the top down.

There are two arrows, left and right, that unlock the chat if you accidentally blocked it. The text clearly explains: Activate chat.

Do not disturb.

If you want to be online and visible to everyone, but don't want to be disturbed, you can choose the third button, with the no entry symbol and the words: do not disturb.

Reset the position of chat windows.

The central window of our chats, and the message windows (from different users), can be moved to different positions, allowing you to chat with multiple people at once or to perform certain tasks in different areas of the screen. Usually, the message windows appear directly in the center of the screen. By clicking and holding the top button, you can move each window anywhere on your screen. To save time rearranging them or to close them more easily and quickly, simply click the fourth button, with a left-curving arrow symbol, which returns all the windows to their original positions, where you can close them or move them again.

Chat box minimized.

The fifth button, a white square with a minus sign in the center, minimizes all open chat windows and moves them to the bottom right, allowing you to continue chatting, allowing you to work more freely and easily. Clicking them again returns them to where they were before (i.e., in the center of the screen).

Private message.

The sixth button , a white square with a right-pointing arrow, is for private messages and takes you to the main chat page, where you can perform various activities related to this important component. The page may load a little slowly if you've sent a lot of messages.

Set your avatar.

The seventh button with the user icon is used to set your avatar. You can choose an image from your device. If you're a member of ours and uploaded one when you registered, or later, in your personal profile in the social area, it will be visible, so you don't have to change anything. You can, however, use a different image than your personal profile image, subject to our image rules.

Enable or disable chat notifications.

The eighth button allows you to enable or disable chat notifications; everyone is free to set them as they wish.

Enable or disable sounds for private messages.

The ninth button with the sounds icon allows you to do this.

Enable or disable sounds for private messages.

The tenth button with the sounds icon allows you to do this.

Your chats.

DirectDemocracyS has a wide variety of public and private chats, and our live chat options are located at the top of the chat module. Simply click on the one you prefer and you can chat with the members, live or even long afterward.

The public chat.

This is the first one visible to everyone. If you don't see any others, you'll have to ask the respective groups if you want to join, according to very detailed implementation rules.

Send a message to the public chat.

In the center of the chat module, there's an arrow icon, followed by a space where you can type, or copy and paste, your public message. We recommend not spending too much time here unless it's truly important and useful for our entire system. Don't say hello, send good wishes, write unnecessary things, or even compliments. To contact us, use the contact forms only.

Further down, arranged horizontally, there are seven buttons: the first, with a smiley face icon, opens a window with emojis; the second, with a door icon, opens all visible public chat rooms. By clicking on each one, you can request access or log in directly. The third button, with the icons of various users, shows the users who are present in the chats and visible (many are invisible). These first three buttons are opened by clicking on them, used, and closed by clicking on them. The fourth button, with the icon for saving files, allows you to save the various conversations. The fifth button, with the icon of two arrows forming a circle, allows you to update the contents of each window and each chat room. The sixth button, with an X inside, allows you to delete previous contents (which become invisible to the user who performs this action). The seventh button, with a +, allows you to see previous posts.

Even further down are all the available or visible users, but remember to never, and for any reason, disturb people you don't know.

Again, when opening each user's chat, there are seven buttons with the same features as those in chat rooms, with some additional features depending on the user type and their permissions. The video camera icon starts a direct video call with the other user; the second, with a smiley face, contains emojis; the third allows you to send files to the other person; the fourth allows you to save messages; the fifth deletes messages for the person performing the action; the sixth button, with a clock icon, allows you to view previous messages. By clicking on it, you can choose the period for which you want to see previous messages: the last day, the last week, the last month, the last 3 months, the last 6 months, or the last year. Messages older than a year are usually archived in a secure location. The eighth button allows you to share your exact location with the other person, which is useful for meeting up. The eighth button, with the icon of a whiteboard with a marker, allows you to share a whiteboard. Obviously, the order and number of buttons can be changed, and additional features can be added, such as simultaneous text translation, audio conversations, and many other useful features. In some cases, other features can be removed, based on our needs and the decisions of the groups and users involved.

By clicking the one-way street icon, you can block a specific user. They, without ever knowing they've been blocked, will never be able to contact you again. You can also unblock them if you deem it appropriate. All our users can also be reported if they disturb you or violate our rules at this link: https://contacts.directdemocracys.org/contacts/reports/internal-user-reporting . However, to submit a report, you must log in to our contact forms website, in the respective login forms, with the same credentials (username and password) you use on the website you registered on.

After clicking on a specific user, if you click on their name in the window that opens, you will be redirected to their personal profile in the social area of our website. You will be able to see if they are a registered user with a verified and guaranteed identity (if there is a blue check mark next to their username). If they are not present in our social area, they may be a visitor, so please do not disturb them for any reason. Be respectful and you will be respected.

The social area of our system is a true social network of politics, business, and infinite potential.

https://www.directdemocracys.org/social

However, there are some important differences between us and traditional social networks.

The first is that public areas are reserved for our public areas management teams, and that posting posts, links, photographs, videos, audio, or anything else without requesting and obtaining permission to do so is prohibited.

Even on your personal public profile, you're prohibited from posting, as in public areas. You're only allowed to customize your profile to a limited extent. The reason is simple: organization, order, competence, discipline, and safety.

It is also forbidden to disturb other users, groups, and create useless posts.

The potential of our social area is practically identical, but in many cases superior, to that offered by similar applications or websites.

Each of our users, regardless of their type, is automatically added to a private group, invisible to anyone both inside and outside our system. They will have the option, based on very detailed implementation rules, to directly create one or more personal private groups, invisible to non-members (depending on their user type), for very important activities.

Furthermore, each of our users, regardless of their type, follows at least one private page, invisible to anyone both inside and outside our system, and will have the option, based on very detailed implementation rules, to directly create one or more private personal pages invisible to non-members (depending on their user type), for very important activities.

In addition to personal profiles, groups, and pages, there are events, videos, audio, an economic and financial space, and countless components, modules, and areas, all of which are potential: visible or invisible, public, private, or secret, which essentially allow for infinite activities, while leaving all public areas clean.

Over time, at the right time, some features will be unlocked, based on very detailed implementation rules, such as friend requests, and many other similar things.

Reading the previous section, many people will find DirectDemocracyS excessively harsh, even dictatorial, but as always, our motivations will pleasantly surprise you, and will make you exclaim: whoever decided all this was absolutely right.

To better understand, let's give you just one example, although we could offer many more. It's a question: of all the things that "appear" on any social network, what percentage are important, useful to you and others, or actually interest you? Don't know? Well, try counting 100 of them in a row, assigning each a value based on the criteria of importance, usefulness, and interest. You'll be unpleasantly surprised at the time you'll waste needlessly counting every post that isn't important to you, isn't useful, and doesn't interest you. Now think about how many important, useful, and interesting things you could do for yourself and others in your spare time on traditional social networks. Here's one of the many reasons: at DirectDemocracyS, we don't like wasting precious time, nor do we like wasting it for others. And think about all the advertising you endure with their free profiles? It's logical that those who provide you with such a service should earn "something," but it would also be nice if they paid taxes on their income, exactly where they earn it, and at the same rates paid by small, medium, and large businesses in their respective countries or geographical areas. So, is the solution to pay, even large sums, to avoid seeing commercials? This is a decision we leave to your discretion and your means. Furthermore, even if you don't see the ads, the situation regarding what you see, based on criteria of importance, usefulness, and interest, doesn't change much. You'll just have smoother browsing, but the wasted time remains.

However, traditional social networks remain useful, such as being correctly and completely informed. We bet we've made you smile. Have you seen what's out there? The only accurate information is that provided by serious professionals, not politically aligned, who inform accurately, disseminating only the fully documented truth from reliable sources, without trying, and succeeding perfectly, to manipulate you, and in some cases, completely brainwash you. Okay, let's say there's a bit of everything on traditional social networks; you just need to know how to choose, select the sources you want to hear their "truth." You have the opportunity and the ability to choose between good and bad, right and wrong, reliable and unreliable, and true and false. Or not? No problem, you'll find plenty of "gurus," know-it-alls, who will teach you to think what they want, say what they want, buy what they want, and even vote for who they want. But if all this isn't enough to keep you "free, democratic, independent, and neutral," technology is here to help, and infinite Artificial Intelligences will soon replace the many "gurus" and influencers, doing better, faster, and more comprehensively what we've all been suffering since the beginning of human existence. The very few crafty, often evil, individuals will continue to exploit the good, even if they are intelligent and deserving. But beware: not all "gurus and influencers," and not all Artificial Intelligences, do despicable things and take away what little humanity you have left, and even in this case, we at DirectDemocracyS hope you always know how to choose well. Ultimately, the entire world today is the result of all the choices, of all people, for better, but especially for worse. In our system we only try, with a lot of hard and long work, to do things differently and better, to change and improve everything that has been done wrong.

At this point, many people will ask: if I don't have friends, how can I do anything? Simple, with very detailed rules, in DirectDemocracyS you can truly do anything, as long as it's useful for yourself and others. First, in secret, invisible groups, everyone interacts with tens, hundreds, sometimes thousands, and soon millions, and hopefully billions, of other people, who respect shared rules (decided by everyone together), with common goals (always decided together).

We'll be publishing an informative article about how our groups work, revealing to those directly involved how we make everything possible. While it may seem complicated, it's actually detailed, and once you've studied it carefully, and more importantly, understood it, everything will seem simpler.

If we didn't take care of every detail, even the most insignificant, we would be just another beautiful project. Instead, we are and will always remain innovative and alternative, continuing to evolve and improve forever.

We are all and will always be connected, a bit like traditional social networks, only a little more fair, just, loyal, sincere, and meritocratic, obviously with adequate protection.

Currently, some "brilliant minds" are annoyed by the many adjectives we use, derogatory to everyone else and laudatory to ourselves. As we wrote some time ago in a very long informative article: for us, words are important, and every word, in every sentence we write, is carefully chosen, studied, evaluated, discussed, and carefully chosen, because it must always express, directly, clearly, and unequivocally, everything we want to say. For all of us, every concept is crucial.

The difference between DirectDemocracyS and everything else you've seen and know is a consistency no one else will ever have, because it comes from the desire to get as close as possible to perfection, another word that once bothered superficial people, who judged a book by its cover, and without knowing us, judged us presumptuous, but we have been and will always be realistic, and proud of our long, hard work.

Not all of our websites, or our subdomains, have a social area, as we've explained in this informative article.

Before concluding, let's explain how direct messages between users work. Essentially, only certain types of higher-level users (super administrators, administrators, and a few other authorized users) can send direct messages to literally anyone within our community. The reason is simple: we want to give everyone the peace of mind of avoiding unnecessary distractions and wasting too much time. Of course, anyone who receives a direct message—which is encrypted, protected, and invisible to anyone else, except for valid reasons, from a few trusted individuals, special security groups—can always respond, if desired, to anyone who contacts them. If you're wondering, how do I communicate with the people I work with? Directly in the various groups, through mutual comments, discussions, announcements, votes, polls, proposals, videos, audio, events, and countless other features. For direct communication, but also for calls, video calls, meetings, conferences, private or public, live or continuous, we have our own components and applications, including a live chat at the bottom of many of our websites , and some subdomains of our platforms are used continuously and dedicated to communication, not only between users, but also between infinite groups, always within our ever-expanding universe.

We hope we've clearly explained some of our rules, methodologies, instructions, and, above all, the underlying rationale. In various articles dedicated to our users, and some publicly available, we'll explore the full potential of this social space, where the magic of DirectDemocracyS is created, thanks to the long, hard work of everyone who joins us!
