1. I love that you can’t see how many followers people have. 2. I love that your profile has 1 picture and that this app is about WORDS and not photos. I think it’s cool that I dont’t really know what people posting look like, besides the one angle in their profile pic. (Assuming I don’t go stalk them on insta) (guilty!!!) 3. I feel like the recs really are staying as recs and not just all becoming tweets. That’s cool.

very cool of you to ask

- Loving the early-internet vibe aesthetically and spiritually. In the latter sense, appreciate the democratic nature of the ‘everyone’ tab - it feels wild and thrilling in the way of an aol chat space. - In the same vein, mildly suspicious of the user spotlights; one of the reasons I left IG in favor of PI was the feeling that I was being fed paid or preferred content and it felt yuck. Popularity contests are out. - Would be more inclined to pay for pro if there was some guarantee/agreement that the money was going towards keeping the platform ad-free *forever*. - I like how it can function as a source of recommendations/aspirational user-generated content *and* as a personal mini- blog/collage of interests. I think that keeping its purpose flexible in this way would be smart. Suspect folks are burnt out on likes and follows and promotion, but love to digitally scrapbook towards self-actualization. - Big yes to the ‘ask’ feature, enjoy when they’re wacky, and hope it remains central to the concept. Would maybe be more encouraged to engage upon opening the app if new, randomized questions were up top instead of recs.

pi.fyi community

feeling grateful for my mutuals and for every recommendation i got. i feel like this platform is healing me after using twitter as my only social media for years. everyone is genuinely helpful and it’s so refreshing when everywhere else is full of hate and negativity.. being on here just gives me hope like these are the people i’ve always wanted as my friends. it’s cool to just be yourself, to appreciate the small things and to share joy & that’s what the internet should be about!

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

not being on tiktok

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
