some guy recommends cool parts of the internet and i was lucky enough to see that video and find pi.fyi :) i absolutely love it, i already got three of my closest friends to download it lol (but i sent them the wrong link so i accidentally only referred one of them loln't... there goes my mug)
i definitely do, i feel like in other apps/social media there's just this expected behaviour or social cues u must follow that make me barely post or just severely overthink whenever i do. that never happens here, it really feels like a journal with cool people who support ur every move, no matter how silly it is hehe

Been finding myself spend more and more time online in niche Discord communities, like the PI.FYI book club and some music related groups. smaller communities means people are more likely to handle disagreements like adults (or leave), no algorithms so toxic waste doesn’t get promoted for eNgAgEmEnT or whatever, and normal folks talking about genuinely cool stuff they like. it’s nice!
the other plus side is some of the bigger “viral” events make it into those spaces occasionally so I’m not totally culturally insulated, but I’m also not frantically trying to figure out more about Today’s Main Character like I used to on Twitter/X. just some nice spaces I get choose when and how to engage with.

recently became active on here and Nina Protocol (new music streaming and distribution hub, kinda like Bandcamp but still pretty tiny) and put both in the main app slots on my iOS homepage replacing instagram and twitter. I’m still on those other apps too I just feel like if I’m going to doom scroll and post things I want to focus my energy on spaces that feel like a community.

obviously not in a creepy way but once you start doing this you’ll actually recognize the same people if you’re in a walking neighborhood and it starts to really feel like a village!
Love recognizing an old coworker, your local tailor, or just nodding at your barista on the street :)
