I joined. It's not completely free. Joining is free and easy. They use a points system, 1 pt. = 1 cent, to access "premium content" and so you can tip creators. I got 50 points upon joining. So the getting around paywalls is not free, but might be cheaper than paying for a full subscription. Ihave not seen what the charge is for a premium article. You can earn points by sharing articles. But like everything the odds are in favor of the "house" (as in gambling) so sooner or later you are going to have to give them your credit card info and dummy up some dough. So it's a micro payment system.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess it depends on the news sources they make available and the cost.
As far a social network goes post.news basically outlaws everything including snark. You can make reasoned comments I guess.
I haven't tested it or posted anything yet so I can't tell you how interaction works.
