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’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.

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!! 💗

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!

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.
