Why I'm here?

Overwhelmed by the insanely fast pace of technology, social media, and the internet as a whole, I've been searching for a space to share ideas and some moments of mine, away from the chaos of Instagram, TikTok, and similar platforms.

I’ve realized that the speed at which these networks operate and push constant production isn’t natural and it definitely isn’t healthy for our minds. I'm particularly sensitive to that, and it took me some time to understand that the problem isn't that I'm "behind," but that the entire system has been set on fire, spinning faster and faster without care for our inner peace.

When my friend Charlito introduced me to this social media platform, I felt a spark of something different, a potential return to a slower, more genuine kind of connection. It reminded me of being a kid, discovering the internet for the first time, and finding joy in simple interactions. That feeling brought me hope that the internet can still be a place free from pressure and the need for validation from fragile egos.

Yes, it feels like everything has gotten so impersonal, so inhuman, everything designed to grab your attention in five second bites, nothing meant to really engage you. People live in a constant state of "tl;dr," never making any meaningful connections, just mocking each other and moving on.

I too long for a bygone era of human connection, pre-AI, pre-bots, pre-140-character-limits, pre-short-form-content.

Agree 100%! The app could be a little faster but it is a small team running it so it's not bad. Let's hope if it does get bigger, they won't sell it to meta

I really hope they keep it real and don’t let big tech ruin it 🌱
