Expectations are so intangible, and judgement so abundant, that itās almost become easier to say āI am notā than āI amā. Positivity has become a sign of vulnerability in many ways in todayās internet zeitgeist, itās rarity being clearly identified by the creation of this app. The negativity that has spread rampant throughout our internet has seemingly proven to many that if they are not part of the rejection, they will be the rejected! An equally sad and scary thought!
This app is so miraculous to me in many ways. The positivity makes it whole. A lot of us probably feel pretty defensive of this quality due to some of the same principles of community that influence the phenomenons Iāve mentioned above.Ā
Anyone can come here and post words and phrases and photos and links and to the vast majority of us the purpose is clear. All the while, it is in the nature of people, good or great ones even, to expel negativity which festers inside :( ! This will happen, but my fellow PI.FYI-ers, what we pay attention to grows!
Some good, or great people even, have a hard time identifying these tendencies which do contribute to the spread of negativity into foundationally positive spaces, and their impact in the grand scheme. As a community of lovers of things, I think itās healthy and only right to continue to kindly remind each other why we have all found ourselves drawn to this platform. Letās only say fuck off to the evil ones, letās banish them to Elon Muskās X, and letās welcome all the rest to the brilliance of recommending good stuff to good strangers online. I hope to do this for a while :)Ā Ā
