I’ve become so passive on all other social media. I only sort of use instagram and TikTok. Someone on TT actually recommended this app (I should probably find him). I was interested because I felt like it was harder for me to find new music and I was hoping to find some good stuff, which I have! This has been a pleasant surprise. I’m so grateful for this space. I haven’t had random internet friends for a long time, and I didn’t even realize how much I missed it! I love connecting over shared interests and ideas. I love that I can be as anonymous as I want. I‘ve only been here a few weeks and feel it’s brought with it fresh creativity. Personally, I’m more home bound than ever before, so this is my equivalent to getting out and socializing with people (which I still do IRL, just not daily in this way). Thanks for being my friends!! 💗

This is exactly why I came here from TT too. I used to be part of a super active community and one by one all the members left over the years or turned into content machines. I miss that sense of community so much, but I think this place is exactly what I was looking for :)

I love it here. If I don’t see my normal peeps for a few days, I start wondering where all of my friends are. I’ve even met some beautiful people IRL!!!! I know I shared this on a post a while back, but it had been so long since I had Internet friends like this. I think that since this is not a photo or video forward app, it really helps with that. I like reading people’s thoughts. thank you for sharing them!

one of my very dear friends showed pi.fyi to me!! she always knows the best apps!! i consider myself quite offline (very private finsta as my only presence on ig for example) so i only hear about things through word of mouth really, like in general—events, trends, places, etc; i like it way better this way, i like being slightly out of the loop, it keeps me sane, even if sometimes im a little late (this does not embarrass me). anyway this app has kind of switched things up for me because not only am i learning of things at a much faster speed, but i feel very public with my presence & am sharing a lot with strangers which i am not used to anymore (i was hyper online as a teen & younger adult, but a few years ago decided to retreat for mental health reasons). it is such a lovely and sweet and smallish community here though that i feel like i am in a little warm nest not lost out at sea!!! i feel like i can really share here without fear and it is actually fun! ^___^

Something I’m realising as I spend more time on this platform is how nice it is to see optimism online for once. People helping others, and giving advice to enrich life. Because life online doesn’t have to be about staring at depressing headlines, it can be about learning new things! I used to be on Twitter all the time, but since I got this app I’ve used it a lot less - I’ve been on this app about 3x the amount of time I’ve been on twt this week. And I feel much better for that, as there’s no more doomscrolling. Also I love how like the early internet, this place is half cat photos. As it should be (I am totally unbiased…)

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life. I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.

It’s to keep us humble otherwise we’d be TOO hot/sexy/cool
