Welcome to the Mimikama forum

Why a dedicated Mimikama forum?

Dear Mimikamas,

There were several reasons why we at Mimikama took the step of creating forum Especially in today's world, when social media channels dominate and communication is more and more fragmented, we see the value of a central, clearly structured place where we can all work and discuss together.

1. Independence and control:
In today's world, when social media channels dominate and communication becomes increasingly fragmented, we have recognized the value of a central, clearly structured location. In particular, independence from the constantly changing algorithms and guidelines of platforms like Facebook gives us the freedom to design and control our content and discussions ourselves.

2. Structure, Clarity and Advanced Search:
Forums inherently provide an organized and structured environment. Topics can be organized, discussed and tracked more easily later. In addition, the forum makes it easy to find specific topics, posts or users.

3. Transparency, sustainability and archiving:
Every step – from the user request to the research to the finished article – can be traced transparently. Old discussions and research are not forgotten, but can be viewed and pursued at any time.

4. Data protection and privacy:
With our own forum we can guarantee a higher standard of data protection than on large social media platforms. Our community can feel safe knowing their data is protected.

5. Distraction-free user experience:
Our forum runs without intrusive ads, ensuring a clear user interface and reducing distractions. In addition, we can adapt the design and features precisely to the needs of our community and expand them over time.

6. Education and Community:
The forum is not just a place for research and discussion. It is also a learning environment where members can educate themselves and learn the basics of fact-checking. Together we promote a stronger sense of community.

7. Efficiency and team contact:
With all the “follower power” research can be accelerated and facts can be checked more quickly. The forum also enables direct and quick exchange with the Mimikama team.

8. Why forum software?
Forum software was chosen because it offers a proven, reliable and customizable solution. Forums have been tested and refined over the years and provide exactly the functionality we need for effective and collaborative research.

We firmly believe that this step will strengthen collaboration and exchange within our community. Together we can work even better to find the truth and combat disinformation.

Mimikama Forum: Your guide

The Mimikama forum is more than just a place for communication. It is a platform that emphasizes collaboration, transparency and education. To ensure that you find your way around and can use the full range of our options, we would like to offer you a structured overview:

🔵 Core part of the forum

Our forum is divided into three main categories:

Part 1: User inquiries The central repository for all questions that come from you, our community. This category is further divided into the following groups:

• a) Multimedia user request (e.g. videos, images)
• b) Emails / SMS / Messenger user request
• c) Social media user request (e.g. Facebook, Twitter)

Part 2: Research If a query is classified as relevant, it goes to this area. Here it is examined and discussed in depth. This category is also structured according to:

• a) Multimedia research
• b) Emails / SMS / Messenger research
• c) Social media research

Part 3: Archive After the research has been completed and the article has been published on www.mimikama.org, the topic will be archived here. Again divided into:

• a) Multimedia archive
• b) Emails / SMS / Messenger archive
• c) Social media archive

🔵 General discussions & chat corner A space for topics that don't fall directly into our main categories. Exchange ideas, share thoughts and ideas.

🔵 Education & further training Our knowledge corner: Here you will find valuable tips on research, identifying fake news and links to other fact checkers and relevant blogs.

With this structure we want to ensure clarity and a pleasant user experience. We look forward to exciting research and educational discussions with you!
