I don't necessarily want my friends to see all of my online activity... it asks for permission to read and change all my data. Seems like I could instead message friends on another platform when they're online to be safer

I really love this! Getting a message using this mimics the natural bumping-into-people experience that I miss from being on campus. It's so easy to feel isolated from friends and it can be hard to keep in touch, but using this makes it easier while bringing a smile to my face at random times throughout the day :) I'm a huge fan
