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.
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
Very far away from my family and friends atm but I least I have the worlds coolest group of cool people to tell. Also I read that your brain is done growing at 25 so is this all I get? no more brain for me?
I know this app is still pretty small in comparison to other social media apps. However it’s important to remember that everyone here is REAL. “Dead Internet Theory” and related concepts really come into light when you use something like PI and notice that there’s no spam, no bots, no advertising, and no one clawing for likes and to be picked by the algo. THIS is the internet. This is what it’s supposed to look and feel like. I hope it lasts.
