I’ve only been on here for a couple days now after seeing it mentioned on twitter, and I love it so far. Scrolling through here isn’t doomscrolling, it’s seeing a interesting range of thoughts, like how twt used to be but even better because there’s no strong algorithm trying to smother me in an neverending spiral of my own interests. It’s nice to see what everyone is thinking regardless of what it’s about. And the positivity and lack of party politics is a breath of fresh air for social media in 2025.
I think what also helps is the lack of celebrities: people don’t come here to follow famous people, they come here for the community.

EXACTLY THIS!!! It’s not about who is famous or not. It’s about community and finding joy

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…)

I kinda stopped using this recently and it reminded me how bad social media really is like seeing so many stupid takes and just genuinely annoying people I think I’m gonna delete twitter and just scroll through here cus god is it refreshing to just see people happy and recommending cool things and talking about little details in their life

it's my 2nd day being here on pi.fyi and i really adore the whole concept of just sharing our interests without feeling the need to receive any online validation or perform. the people here are so inclusive and nice
T-T i also like how i don't get the urge to endlessly scroll, as there's no algorithm driving the platform.

I love the night vibes but it’s also lovely to finally see a bit of light at that time, after about 4 months of pitch black darkness. Makes the commute back home happier and less tiring.
