Personally, I only use Rec League. I hadn't been on social media since 2020 until this app came around. It's a welcoming, thoughtful space for sharing that feels low stakes. I like using it during work breaks or between gigs for fun. I usually learn something new and leave feeling: neutral, delighted, amused, inspired. It isn't ugly (in design or content) or filled with slop (like most corners of the internet) or trying to sell things in ways that don't feel genuine (I tried that for a day and hated it). What can I say: I tend to draw a hard line?
Here's a Richard Serra oil stick print with some moderately hard lines (much better in person because you can see the texture of the unique blend of oil and feel the impression on the paper; these prints form crystals on the surface so there's a whole conservation process that is involved in keeping them alive).

“Like this one. I am knocking on wood furiously, I hope I don’t jinx it! This is such a nice haven compared to Twitter, Instagram, etc… 🤞🏻 I check it many times a day without feeling sad or angry. *not an employee, just loving this app”

“Sorry if this is teacher’s pet behavior but I’m kinda losing it. Playlists (my literal love language)? Tea that improves my sleep hygiene? Restaurant recs that make my mom happy? Animal facts? I get to talk to strangers about BOOKS?? I get to be generally helpful?? I get to just kinda blog into the ether??? I get to talk about mental illness???? Never thought I would be all in on an app, but here”
