The glitches and bugs make this thing feel like an endearing little beetle that runs around on my front porch screaming its head off. i ❤️ getting 5 consecutive notifications about a single new follow written in the cadence of a critical alert
The PI team works hard. They’re humans. They don’t overlord a pit of sweaty underslept software engineers and measure their bathroom breaks. The app stalls upon opening notifs, almost as if a cosmic force is saying “it’ll be there later you’re supposed to be studying anyway”.
The perfection we’re used to from other massive apps is the product of a precision engineered psycho-weapon designed to collect data from you and slam ads down ur throat
PI is the opposite, it’s flawed and quirky like the people who use it. this is opposed to the bots and AI that make up the majority of other SM sites
you could almost say the app is perfect, in an imperfect way.
noticing life and slowing things down has helped with every stress my body has, it's also got me going on walks to places i've never been before. I go alone and do walkie talkies sometimes too, which is like an audio journal log. i also get some cool pictures out of it.
