Never ever been back to pinterest since, can write as many notes as you want, no ads at all and all the content is actually inspiring and can lead to beautiful wormholes where you forget what you even started looking for 5 hours ago. only thing is that it can be a bit harder to find general topics, ur kinda forced to deep dive if u wanna find what you want.

Like pinterest but without the ads or algo or mommy blogger tone. Feels like how Tumblr used to feel. I find so many cool things. And itβs great for practical use of organizing stuff I find around the web.

one day i was on the work computer and i wanted to find more Fruits Magazines and came across dozens of pdfs on are.na!!! it's catered towards design and architecture students it's the loveliest tool as a casual internet user. it's self financed with premiums (no ads) plus it's minimalistic and easy to use - it organizes pictures, websites, and pdfs into these sections called channels. there is no algorithm it's purely based on hunter and gatherer vibes i started using it recently and have found countless channels of historical zines, 90s/2000s perfume ads, bare bone websites built with just html, old blogs, and so much more. i think perfectly imperfect and are.na are proof that the internet is well and alive!
just attached one of the channels i follow it's a collection of vintage Japanese advertisements and graphics :*)

soso good it is litch pinterest but for weirdos. it has no algorithm at all. it has everything from articles to insta posts its just a big archive of everything on the internet ever. i love it because i think that algorithms in other social media platforms are all about pandering to what you like, meaning you get pushed further into your own interests rather than being made aware of new ones, which are.na def avoids. xoxoxoxoxoxo

helps me to appreciate nature in a way i havent felt in ages. feels like im making art for arts sake again rather than for a purpose which is really refreshing and grounding

a 50 page physical and digital fashion magazine designed solely for people with visual impairments. a years worth of work was definitely worth it and i am super proud of it even though it was finished last year and i am still yet to release it to the world

i was on it for a few months and i thought it was wack at the time because i found the conversations stale and hard to maintain without having like 2 week gaps in between msgs. butttttt after the first meaningful and fun convo i ever had on hinge, I ended up meeting her the next night - my gf who ive been with ever since! <3. now i like the concept as i think all it takes is one good person and a bit of luck to change ur life through it
