You just exited a 17-year toxic relationship with Twitter, and your friends convinced you to start dating again. One of your friends introduced you to Mastodon, and you went out on one date. Mastodon was too techie, and you spent the entire evening not understanding WTF Mastodon was talking about.

Then you went out with Post News from work. Post News was polite, and you went out on a few dates, but Post News was a bit too cerebral for you. You had in-depth conversations, but Post News talked a lot about work, and after a while, it started getting boring. So you moved on after a few weeks.

When you were at a friend's beach party, you met Spoutible. You and Spoutible exchanged numbers, and you really liked Spoutible. Spoutible checked all the boxes and made you feel safe. However, you just got out of a 17-year relationship and were not ready to commit. You were exploring your options.

Out of the blue, Bluesky asked you out on a date. Bluesky is good friends with Twitter, and you were conflicted. Bluesky is a lot like Twitter because they grew up together on the same block. You like Bluesky, but you are worried Bluesky will disappoint you like Twitter, so you keep your distance.

Then you meet Threads, and wow, you were swept off your feet. Threads knew everyone and was wild at parties. You felt seen when you were out with Threads. The sex was also amazing. But after a month of dating, you realized Threads had very little substance. You connected physically but not mentally.

Sitting home bored, you texted Spoutible to meet for drinks. You forgot how safe Spoutible made you feel and the fun you had. You started seeing more of Spoutible, and eventually, y'all started dating exclusively. It took time for you to realize you had already found what you were looking for.

It did not help that these sites were so damn difficult to log back onto as if they kept changing their phone numbers then asking why you did not call?

I dated Post News briefly, but it had no sense of humor (a must for me) and also very little interest in the arts, which are my whole jam and make the state of the world bearable. Spoutible is a grownup - well-rounded, engaged but not wild-eyed, interesting and interested. Let's see where this goes.

Post is good if I want pure news or write longer >3 page pieces. It operates so different from every other site and takes some patience to get the hang of. Post also had the friendliest community until someone suggested I check out Spoutible. I knew this would be my primary site in minutes.

I'm here to stay. But you've got real competition with Threads. The posters want a community feeling. The problem is Threads is an Instagram tie in, meaning SM influencers abound. Threads also doesn't want to be a news/political forum and will not promote that.

I don't have Instagram. And meta is already being banned in other countries for refusing to deal with their disinformation issue. I don't need more disinformation.

Post is now like finding a something in a pocket and you don’t remember ever having been there before
