The Rural Republic is a social discussion, learning, and sharing platform for people who enjoy the rural way of life. TRR includes a traditional web-site component and soon-to-be-available native iOS and Android apps for a seamless cross-device experience. TRR combines a social media components with niche topic groups and forums dictated by end users and creators.
To our account holders and content creators:
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are on an aggressive trajectory toward removal of fishing, trapping and shooting sports content from their platforms. Also on the chopping block are ideas that do not align with their narrow set of values. The Rural Republic platform is not a 1:1 replacement for these platforms, but an OutdoorsFIRST addition and alternative where this type of content is welcomed, protected, and preserved.
These platforms also penalize content that does not solely originate from within their ecosystem. For example, a video posted to a social media account from a content creator’s YouTube channel will not perform as well as a video uploaded directly from within the social media platform itself. Embed or cross-platform/cross-promotional penalties do not exist on TRR.
To our advertisers:
Anyone who has purchased advertising on traditional social media owns that getting an ad sanitized to the point of approval is getting increasingly difficult – sometime impossible for certain types of products – and each time you run the risk of complete removal from the platform. All this while investing thousands of dollars without any sort of explanation and without the ability to contact anyone.
