I feel like thereโs a special connectivity on this app that I havenโt felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010โs tumblr. The fact that you canโt promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isnโt mass video content like Tik Tok is great. Itโs not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup). Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope weโll all be here for a long time.
florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones โ we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight. In all seriousness โ weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.
I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. Itโs made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought Iโd feel the same way about URL friends. Iโm constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
Itโs nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. Iโm going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
