Imzy is a new social media networking forum (Think a crossover between [[Reddit]] and Twitter) created by the fired [[Reddit]] executive, [[Dan McComas]].

== What's Imzy ==

'''History'''

Imzy was backed by investors from [[Patreon]], Twitter, and [[Foursquare]], it promises to be a "warmer and fuzzier" version of Reddit; as opposed to its wilder forebearer. <ref> Inside Imzy -[http://archive.is/N4zfd] </ref>

Dan McComas was fired from Reddit, during a turbulent time when several communities (called "subreddits") are unexpectedly banned. He was a critic of what he saw as toxicity which was enabled by Reddit's attitude of unrestrained free speech, so after his firing, Dan McComas sets out to make a nicer site.

On , Imzy launched a partnership with [[Lena Dunham]] as a means to form an online community for the Lenny Letter, a newsletter which was started by Dunham and [[Jenni Konner]]. This community has over 400,000 subscribers and a 65% open rate.<ref>Anti-Reddit Platform Imzy partners with Lena Dunham to Build Online Community for Lenny Letter - [http://archive.is/7dQqT] </ref>

== Beta-ing and the Site Itself ==

'''Testing, Testing,...'''

Imzy is conducting an invitation only beta testing phase and appearantly achived it's stated goal. It's aesthetics creates a warmer enviroment than Reddit's minimalism.

The newsfeed appears to have a [[Tumblr]]-ish feel to it.

Imzy has a tipping function, where one can tip the moderators and communities, and there's an option to give to Imzy itself!

'''Gamergate'''

In Imzy there's a Gamergate community which is actually an anti-GameGate group.

However, [[KotakuInAction]] set up a community in Imzy as an experiment to see how long a pro-GamerGate community can last before it gets ban. <ref> KiA on Imzy Invites - [http://archive.is/2hGh0] </ref>

== Censorship ==

Netscape9 got an e-mail status banned from Imzy, plus three Gamergate communities got shut down. - The Gamergate Debate community, [[TorrentialDownpour]] community, and , his post about the leaks. Because of the discussion of the [[CON]] log leaks. Despite the fact that these did not go against their terms of service and Imzy promoting "honest and open" discussion, especially about GG. <ref>Imzy censors discussion of the #CONLeaks, shutsdown three Gamergate Communities -[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMRyH_SI1Hk]</ref>
