It can be helpful to frame things from a perspective of self-discovery. You may uncover new truths about yourself and the world that you would otherwise never have found. It builds character, good luck!

> it was the thing that took my crushing anxiety away.
Paradoxically it's also the thing that creates the crushing anxiety when abused. One day at a time, be kind to yourself, life is a journey.
Where do you upload your current vids? Are they long form? Could be lots of factors in play.
That makes sense re: discussion boards. Moderation is a tough problem. Years ago I worked at a regional newspaper and had to deal with the comment section on news articles, total mess. They eventually shut them down.
How did you get started, anything come before Gnod?
How do you plan to monetize illubots? Could see a use for that as an api for e.g. "generate collection of random but similar avatars"
Bladerunner & Ex Machina are both in their own league.
I was just pondering yesterday "What would a sequel to Ex Machina look like?" "What would it be called?" "What sort of story line would be interesting?"
I've used your site gnovies.com and gnoosic countless times and recommended it to friends! Really great tool and I discovered both movies and music I otherwise wouldn't have found.
Example I input: Bladerunner, Inception, and Ex Machina into gnovies and discovered a movie called Upgrade that I thoroughly enjoyed, and otherwise wouldn't have known about. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6499752/)
Appreciate your work, thanks!
PS What do you work on in more recent times?

More than that, it's very cathartic and peaceful. I used to live next to a big park on the Puget Sound and I would do a similar routine, in addition to occasionally taking a stroll through the park (effectively a forest) at lunch.
It had a very calming effect, def miss that!
Good analogy thank you.
Each post has a chatroom instead of comments, with expected chat features and more.
Not trying to build a Twitter or X replacement, just a quality place for live discussion.
Personally I'm interested to see what happens at Twitter with Elon at the helm.
A friend and active Twitter user who lets say isn't a fan of his, has stated that they don't think he'd be foolish enough to burn it to the ground and thus won't be going anywhere. I agree.
There's been an active discussion on whether to allow gifs/images in the chat, with many saying they like that it's focused just on conversation.
Very simply I wanted to build an open live discussion site that used chat instead of threaded comments, and was tailored for a general audience to discuss the topics people find interesting.
It's been a passion project and I'd love to hear from the community on what sorts of features you'd like to see, or other feedback you have, realizing that it won't be for everyone, but hopefully some will find it interesting.
Please feel free to share the blog post and let me know if you have any questions!
This resonates having done contracting for the past 5+ years and at times, lately, feeling lonely.
I'm looking for people who want to help create new communities & experiment on there so let me know!
What about mixing forum-like experience with open messaging? That's what we're doing over at https://sqwok.im
