For some the arbitrariness of an app/site as this can be a comfort away from your usual dynamic.

It is a place to encounter people you might not in your usual life and after a time you look forward to hearing from them, the differing perspectives they give to you freely. It is however off putting when people just fade away, not saying anything to you after their initial (sometimes pushy) friendliness. For those who invest a little of themselves in these cyberfriendships it affects our sense of being, mental health issues have come to the fore due to Covid19.

Impact happens. Those who keep contact are valued because they continue to help with perspectives. The prevalence of ridicule here however is so very off putting, harmful and creating of a dilemma of whether to remain here, checking in each day to connect with those who can be bothered to be the friends they first presented themselves as.
