I know it's a really ordinary thing to do, but the idea of people using micrblogging to find people, and not just to follow and talk to people they already know, will always be wild to me. The idea of scrolling through infinite feeds where every post could be potentially triggering (and 80% of them are just reposts anyway) gives me terrible flashbacks to when I was younger. Thank god there are people who can handle that and actually make meaningful connections to people that way.
