i feel like people project (i am people) on here and will just go IN sometimes. but then a lot of the OGs on here will be like “well that’s not very nice and have you ever thought about it this way?” and then they kinda fade away. PI.FYI is not like meta or tt where their algos fuel the rage bait. it all just happens in chronological order except when u hit that random button. 😏 which i be doing and i also recommend. i also see ppl be like “okay maybe i was wrong and i didn’t mean it like that” which is nice 👍
what’s also really nice is that we can all just disagree on stuff that’s a little superficial and be cool with it #rare

✌️I just want to say i love all y’all on here for defending the integrity and freedom of this app! Because yesterday was a bit crazy lolll. Joining an app and less than 72 hours later hate posting about other users and their style of posts is definitely a choice, but I think there is just a learning curve, especially for a lot of younger and new users that come from the tiktok/twitter generation where that kind of constant, redundant hating and complaining is so normalised. But honestly i’m glad that kind of behaviour isn’t rewarded on here and we can have constructive conversations about how to be more tolerant online 🫶🏻

🎭i think allowing pi to stagnate into an echochamber would ruin this whole thing we have going on. not going to say which hot takes i agree/disagree with (i.e. blogpostgate, anti-recgate) but i do think a general culture of critique and disagreement helps keep things interesting. hope people continue to be respectful but if not that just adds to the overall experience. think your thoughts etc whatever. i will remain here regardless of the posts people make, as long as it’s fun.

it definitely can be frustrating when you find a niche corner of the internet thats sweet and has its nice little community norms, but the more people join that community — if the norms aren’t super clear — the more those norms become a little obscured. i’m of the opinion that you can use the app however you want, WHO CARES. but it is nice to have a community where you have a shared language and norms :) i think that’s super human :)
soOooOoOoOoOo my understanding of the intention of the app was that this was for recs and then asking for recs. but you can use artistic license to communicate whatever you want in either of those post formats. the difference i think is when people don’t pay a little homage to the original intent of the app, it can be frustrating for users who have this perceived expectation of what a post *should* be. honestly sometimes i am that person. i think i care *too* much sometimes 😅🤠
IMO — post whatever the hell you want but if you’re post reads like “i recommend [insert title of post here] even if it’s not rly a recommendation, i think it’s a nice connection to the initial community norms? i also feel like it requires some thinking and a little bit of cleverness and intention — which is so scarce on the internet that i’m sure people are like oh no mr. bill what happened to my lil corner of the web? well the truth is nothing is ever ours and everything is always changing, woof!
OR do absolutely none of this and ignore this post completely!
because it hoooonestly doesn’t matter :)
i think we’re all just clinging to things and then when they change we kinda bug out because *gestures broadly at everything*
I LOVE YOU PI.FYI!!!!!!! *to be loved is to be changed*

please let us be free from the commodification of the data generated from our social, whimsical, and sincere, free expression
the sincerity of this app is because it’s different from those other apps :/ why do we need metrics on how we socialize? 😮💨😮💨
i’m curious as much as i am sad about the decision to make the star count visible. is that what its proper name is? or are we calling it likes? 👀
