feels borderline healthier than posting on insta or wherever else you people post.

Not out of fear of lack of likes or engagement. I mean, Iāve just joined, but so far I think this app is pretty neat, in the sense that it doesnāt feel like a āoh, Iāve got to curate this thought or personal share until itās whittled down and not actually *me* anymore - so that itās more widely appealing or relatableā kinda thing yāknow? Doesnāt feel like itās about amassing followers, monetisation, or becoming an *influencer*.
Pretty certain that everyone has had angry, dark, bitter, jealous, painfully yearnful, embarrassing moments and feelings. And the kind of thoughts that are ānope, canāt say that. thatās overshare territory babeyā- or like thereās that feeling of āwould I want that being screenshotted?ā hanging over ya. I donāt feel disgust when Iāve read others share those things on social media or when my friends confide in me,
but I still feel shame for feeling them myself? How silly.
One thought that Iāve considered sharing on here, but yeeted into the void has been about my identity, erosion of sense of self, and self image. Existential dread, stential(?) dread. Which is, like, *yeah*, everyone (to scaled degrees, especially based on your race, gender, sexuality, class, ALL of the above) can probably relate to by virtue of existing in this shitty framework of a society where everyoneās physical, intellectual, and material image is always going to be scrutinised.
Which I know? But I still struggle with writing or articulating things like āhey, Iām *not* doing okay with this and I donāt know what to do about it. I donāt like where I am, but thinking about change scares me. Sometimes, maybe all the times, I donāt know who I am or what Iām doing outside of the perception of others and that really fucking terrifies me.ā
I donāt know, Iāve deleted most other of my social media accounts and only really yap to my close friends about deeply emotional and intimate *struggles*. But I still feel like flinging things out there sometimes to strangers (which I guess Iāve just done here lol). Itās a different kind of vent release, a type that you donāt have to worry about extremely concerned follow up questions from friends or family haha. Or like, the feeling that even though weāre strangers from all over the place, we all share in the relatable struggles and joys of the human condition - whether through personal shares or *memes and shitposts*
The candid pet pics are cool too tho

one of my very dear friends showed pi.fyi to me!! she always knows the best apps!! i consider myself quite offline (very private finsta as my only presence on ig for example) so i only hear about things through word of mouth really, like in generalāevents, trends, places, etc; i like it way better this way, i like being slightly out of the loop, it keeps me sane, even if sometimes im a little late (this does not embarrass me). anyway this app has kind of switched things up for me because not only am i learning of things at a much faster speed, but i feel very public with my presence & am sharing a lot with strangers which i am not used to anymore (i was hyper online as a teen & younger adult, but a few years ago decided to retreat for mental health reasons). it is such a lovely and sweet and smallish community here though that i feel like i am in a little warm nest not lost out at sea!!! i feel like i can really share here without fear and it is actually fun! ^___^
