You could be negative on anyyyyy other social media platform and I wouldn’t care because I’d expect it; but here…we come to this place…for magic. <<AMC Nicole Kidman reference btw. I’m not here to police anyone, you can post whatever you want. But in my opinion…anti-recs defeat the purpose of pi.fyi. But does anything have a purpose. I don’t know this is my 4 am hot take.

okay the description is giving silly hot take the but title of this rec is giving POLICE lmao like i just wanna check in —— if you’re looking for magic. why not create it instead of highlighting where it isn’t? this post (specifically the title and then some of your replies) read like an anti-rec / narc vibes but hey listen i’m just a mirror

@CHRONICWEBUSER you’re right I have some inner work to do And I was clearly feeling controversial when I posted that. the description is really what I was going for(I have more of a silly vibe than a police vibe) the title is really intense. your comment made me giggle a little and I ended up taking time to apologize to one of my replies! I’m not trying to be a narc I think I just would Rather not see “ANTI REC:________” when I’m on here. That’s really what I was referring to. You can post whatever you want I don’t really care that much! Have a great day!!!!

@NICK3 haha, I’ve definitely got a couple screws loose and things to work on, lying is one of them. in this post I was referring to posts that are titled “ANTI-REC:_____” I liked @SLOWDAZZLE ‘s comment on this post which was “you can always work within the prompt and make it appear to be positive“

I think it depends on the tone of the anti-rec. I made one the other day about a 4 year old calling me “stinky fart boy” and I think silly things like that are ok. But when people make anti-recs to whine and complain, or post blanket statements about certain people groups without any nuance or explanation, I really don’t like that. I think it also depends on the users frequency of anti-recs. Humans aren’t all positive all the time and it’s unrealistic to think every single post would be positive, but there are certain people that are haters all the time and that behavior should be discouraged.

@REGULARCUCUMBER a great take from stinky fart boy😉

This is just my opinion, and i get where you’re coming from. i like to post anti-recs rarely with a nuanced explanation, or because it’s a very minute thing to hate. I made an anti-rec on circle sprinkles 😂. But like said when i make my anti-recs i give an explanation to it and i feel like its either niche or more universally disliked.

@SLOWDAZZLE exactly! like instead of ANTI-REC: DATING MEN it could be LESBIANISM et cetera. like i think it’s just more fun to work within the constraints of the medium

@SLOWDAZZLE I was thinking about this and I think the reason why I would anti-rec something as opposed to reccing it's opposite usually has to do with what experience or evidence I plan to share

@SLOWDAZZLE I absolutely agree!!! For me, i have a small gripe with seeing “ANTI-REC:_____”

it's only funny because this is an anti-rec against posting anti-recs

until tyler says something about anti recs, i shall continue to post them. in order to have recs, you need anti recs. Just like the moon needs the sun and white needs black

@RATTLESNAKE Well Tyler does not have control over you, you can post whatever you want! I don’t really think it’s that deep haha: “like the moon needs the sun.” My post is about not wanting to see negativity. It seems like you would really like Yelp though! Thanks for commenting, I enjoyed your perspective!

@MIA_LDIM oh but mia, IT IS THAT DEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, nah i'm joking. I get your point and i value your perspective, but to me anti recs aren't negative. Each to their own, i love ya xoxo

@RATTLESNAKE all Tyler has rec’d is phrasing anti-recs more like normal recs. e.g. “not eating glass” vs “anti-rec: eating glass”

@RATTLESNAKE my comment came off as passive aggressive and dismissive for no reason, sorry. my life is a constant battle between “it’s not that deep“ and “everything is filled with meaning and purpose and should be appreciated fully” didn’t think this post would get as much traction as it did! LY2!

i think allowing pi to stagnate into an echochamber would ruin this whole thing we have going on. not going to say which hot takes i agree/disagree with (i.e. blogpostgate, anti-recgate) but i do think a general culture of critique and disagreement helps keep things interesting. hope people continue to be respectful but if not that just adds to the overall experience. think your thoughts etc whatever. i will remain here regardless of the posts people make, as long as it’s fun.

I feel as if I am preaching to the choir here and Contradicting myself however it must be said posting here with intentional recommendations or genuine questions makes this place valuable and fun I see bleed over from Twitter or people just straight up complaining about things and I don’t really enjoy it but alas who am I if I sound ignorant sorry I just see too much myopic discourse on things and get burnt from it as a result of being online too much. This place seems more quiet compared to others

it definitely can be frustrating when you find a niche corner of the internet thats sweet and has its nice little community norms, but the more people join that community — if the norms aren’t super clear — the more those norms become a little obscured. i’m of the opinion that you can use the app however you want, WHO CARES. but it is nice to have a community where you have a shared language and norms :) i think that’s super human :) soOooOoOoOoOo my understanding of the intention of the app was that this was for recs and then asking for recs. but you can use artistic license to communicate whatever you want in either of those post formats. the difference i think is when people don’t pay a little homage to the original intent of the app, it can be frustrating for users who have this perceived expectation of what a post *should* be. honestly sometimes i am that person. i think i care *too* much sometimes 😅🤠 IMO — post whatever the hell you want but if you’re post reads like “i recommend [insert title of post here] even if it’s not rly a recommendation, i think it’s a nice connection to the initial community norms? i also feel like it requires some thinking and a little bit of cleverness and intention — which is so scarce on the internet that i’m sure people are like oh no mr. bill what happened to my lil corner of the web? well the truth is nothing is ever ours and everything is always changing, woof! OR do absolutely none of this and ignore this post completely! because it hoooonestly doesn’t matter :) i think we’re all just clinging to things and then when they change we kinda bug out because *gestures broadly at everything* I LOVE YOU PI.FYI!!!!!!! *to be loved is to be changed*
