We're well established enough that we have stereotypes about different communities... it's amusing.

Works on my phone
It's a small community, which is rare on the internet these days.
Its noncommercial, which is almost completely unheard of on the internet these days.
It is organically creating new, unique communities.
Such as?
Unlike what seems like many, I kind of like not having so many people here. It means there’s a good chance comments and posts will be seen by others. Reddit was/is so populated that posting anything there was like speaking into a gaping void (of hatred, many bad -isms, and occasionally friendly helpful folks).
It's kinda like the ham radio of the internet. I think. I've never used a ham radio, but it's what I imagine it would be like. Lol
It's NOT FUCKING reddit.
I'm still surprised by how genuine people seem to be. Sometimes someone comments or messages me and my expectation is sarcasm, judgement, or general shittiness; so I'm unsure how to reply. I think I've responded negatively sometimes just because i was reflexively defensive.
I can be on here a LOT less than other apps and not feel like I'm addicted. I jump on to post a couple of things and scroll for a few minutes and I feel like I'm good for the day.
yeah that's probably because there's not very much content here. which I admit is good because lack of content equals reduced addiction.
It's free, no ads, and cool communities.
I think the only thing missing is creepy pastas
I love being finished doomscrolling after 15 or 20 minutes not because I hate myself, but because I ran out of fresh content for the day.
Spez isn’t on here
He's waiting for one of the admins to commit suicide before he shows up and claims credit
No ads and small communies where i can run ibto people multiple times
That people can make Android apps for it without caring about absurd API prices.
