I guess my initial fixation wore off but happy one month to this app - I had a hot little hookup come from here, I had a possible date turn into nothing and that’s ok cause a connection was made - most of all I had fun and I got a bunch of great reccs that have stuck with me through the month
Eg: Miley & her dead pets album
I haven’t browsed in a bit but I’m down to. I’m wondering if I paid for PRO to get my nice background color, if it will just auto renew?
Also, I feel I did my half best bringing some friends on here but it didn’t work. I def feel I haven’t thought of the right friend that would appreciate it the way I did/do - but maybe I’ll try infecting someone again 🙃
Infecting…. I miss the last of us. Def recommend that show but also can we rly recco major mainstream shit that’s so not PI.FYI eh

I mean a) why not
2. I had fun making new friends here
3. It’s cool to see how an app has evolved over a year
4. It’s niche
5. I met a potential future boyfriend here, call me when you break up [even though I don’t wish that upon you]
I noticed that the bright blue & yellow star got darker…. I miss the bright poppy original color but I get it.

📰a couple of my friends who worked at the seattle times + seattle stranger posted screenshots of their newly minted pi.fyi profiles on their ig stories (presumably after hearing about it in some journalistic capacity) and i was intrigued
being on facebook twitter and instagram for p much the entire time those platforms have been around made me really jaded so i was just generally excitable about new social media (was semi-active on clubhouse when that first launched, got really excited about dispo before david dobrik got megacanceled, etc.) and pi.fyi fit the bill
microblogging is so intimate and human and just feels central to the early-00s "wild west" vibe folks loved about the internet, how it was a space for limitless expression and delightful serendipity of finding someone / something cool online and knowing that it was a real person being real with you. as the channels for that kind of expression became rapidly streamlined and commercialized, the "share what you like" charter felt so fundamental to what the internet should be to me and it seemed like tyler + staff were working really hard on figuring out how to build tech that intentionally facilitated that over "website is for advertising" like literally everywhere else
definitely behave differently on here than other platforms; i don't really post elsewhere. ~2022 i mass deleted every social media app (first twitter then tiktok then ig then reddit then youtube) and deactivated a bunch of accounts, eventually went back to instagram to be able to easily connect with folks i met irl / tap into events in my city but didn't really post to the account before this last december. i am verbose to a fault (which i can't / won't be on other platforms) but pi.fyi feels like an app where that's actually ok and kind of good maybe? being verbose about the stuff you like kind of feels like the point of liking stuff
i would / have shared this site with friends! but i'm not quite shouting from the rooftops that people should come here quite yet for the following reasons:
1. i think that twitter + ig have fried people's dopamine receptors to the point that "number get big" is the point of social media for a lot of folks; that doesn't really happen here
2. being earnest online is decidedly not the point of social media for a lot of folks; that does happen here and i think people finding it organically and intentionally participating is why it continues to happen
3. "every white person in (or thinking about moving to) brooklyn: the website" is not a super appealing sales pitch for my friends, who are largely not white (i do think that's just the case while the site is so young tho)
but yeah, perfectly imperfect fuckin' rips and i think within 48 hours of being on here i decided to pay for pro. really excited to see where it goes as editorial continues to flourish and people continue to sign up – there's something here that's been missing from digital space for a long time

😃I think coming on here every few days is a nice momentum bc who really needs to be on an app everyday??
I like the old Myspace vibes and the recs and the nice conversations I've gotten so far
It makes me feel like I'm using a site from a bygone era and that's the appeal that I get from it :) I usually just like to scroll my feed and post every couple of days

🥵You might think I’m crazy to be saying this in the winter, but yo. heating is so suffocating and dry and if you don’t have a humidifier because you’re a peasant like me clearly, crack that winter window and enjoy that cool breeze….. helps you sleep, makes you able to breathe…. Humans were not meant to stay cooped up in these brick and insulated houses. We are able to survive the coldest of colds. We’re hot blooded creatures and we need air.

⭐Full album start to finish. Madonna’s first foray into electronica…. first track Drowned World is dreamy 🩵 Track 6 Nothing Really Matters, highly recc. Saw her Celebration Tour in Mtl last week and would love to find the remix of Ray of Light she performed…. Insano

📲Been less on it on the weekend prob cause not bored like during the week cause work is dumb and then I was procrastinating having fun learning the ways of PI but ya, I recommend this app a lot and I got maybe 2-3 people on it but I’ve been secretly not wanting to share this to the masses cause I like it small and exclusive. Gatekeep this app for a little longer guys ok let’s be intimate
