EXPLAINATION
Hi, my name is Jaden. I am the creator of this platform. I've been programming for 5 years now and it's something I love to do. Basically, I got tired of people posting paragraphs on Instagram and Snapchat and I really don't like people trying to break up a long thought into multiple tweets. If you want a place to fully express a lengthy idea, Opium is the place. Another thing I don't like is people impulse-posting to social media without fully thinking through what they're putting into the world. That's the point of the embargo. Currently, it takes 3 days for a capsule to leave the embargo and be public. While a capsule is in embargo it isn't visible to anyone else on the platform. It also is the only time you can delete a capsule. After a capsule leaves the embargo it cannot be deleted or edited in any way. The most important thing to keep in mind is to think before you post. Whatever you say is going to be out there forever. You can't delete your account and you can't delete any of your capsules. You have 3 days to reconsider but after that it's permanent. As the admin, I have the ability to delete capsules but I won't unless the capsule violates one of the rules. There are three rules on Opium. You can't post anything that aims to directly insight violence, you can't post leaked government documents, and you can't post copyrighted material you don't have permission to use. Everything else is fair game. You'll most likely see me posting on here from time to time and I can't wait to see what you write. If you have any questions or concerns you can email me at contact@opium.press.
