does anyone remember in 2015ish when peach hit? sort of a private microblogging platform. a lot of people joined and left after like a month. i had a hardcore true blue tumblr clique and we migrated there. we’re now approaching 10 years on that app and a lot of us never left (probably 40 of us). i post 2-3 times a day on there, same with my friends. i’ve also made new friends on there that are attending my wedding in march (marrying a man i met on tumblr in 2012 😭).
this app reminds me a lot of peach makes me grateful to have been a lonely 17 year old girl online!! i owe everything to my internet friends who are now my irl besties, bachelorette party crew, cat sitters, dinner dates, frenemies, neighbors, hosts when i’m in their city. the tiny internet is magic

Found this app on TikTok last year and boy oh boy has it opened some metaphorical doors for me.
Grateful to have gained friendships across states and nations, developed a pen-pal relationship with a stranger, taken stock of my values, felt supported while quitting nicotine, and remained hopeful because of the amazing recs and answers you all have shared with me.
Shoutout to those who have consistently interacted and made this one of the last safe places on the internet for me :)

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 general—events, 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! ^___^

somehow forgot to include this earlier but this was like the most incredibly validating and empowering and inspiring platform for teen me. it helped me grow and learn so much especially creatively and in developing my general aesthetic sensibilities. i spent every possible moment on this site from like 2009-2012 roughly and even made some lifelong friends!!!

returning to PI after a wedding planning induced hiatus… everything they say is true. you feel like you’re on drugs bc it’s like unlocking a new level of happiness, it goes by in 12 seconds, you’ll have the hugest emotional hangover of your life for a week, it is the most fun a girl can have. hugely recommend yall consider doing this!
