Is it just me or you guys miss Omegle too? 😭

RIP Omegle

Don't have any girlfriend but I feel the need to have someone to speak with say about the day but there is fear of heartbreak and risk of loss of interest quickly, but again night comes but again I remember that talking can lead to attachment and attachment is not good what to do guysssssss?



Whom to speak with??

Loneliness or solitude?

Man, my work is completely work from home and all my colleagues are in different parts of the world. So I was just wondering if there is anything to make friends IRL online.

Live audio coversations on Grapevine?

Product Designer

I really liked the concept. It has best of both worlds. Easiest way to create content is audio, and consume is text.

However, I think it will suffer because it might not promote controversial stuff or negative comments.

Humans have a negativity bias. Name-calling, insults or blind hate, are things that no one likes - but also things that no one can look away from. And those engaged in it can't easily pull away. 

One of the reasons why Grapevine is so good because in an anonymous forum, people might be less likely to step in and stop negative behavior. People either promote propaganda of one company or to spread shit about other companies.


Even X is infamous for rewarding conflict. Most negative comments come from anon folks. elafda get the best engagement.  


The audio first social media app Airchat has a second order effect that people can write way more mean shit than say it aloud. Plus it's not natively anon. 

I really wish it does work, in a world where there's so much negativity, we need airchat to thrive.

Why Airchat might not work

Director Product

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey)

Few observations:
1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility
2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other.
3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society

So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them.

Though I have my doubts here
1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match?
2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element.
3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in

Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face.

P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing.

Any other good apps except Grapevine where we could connect with people and talk about anything and everything?

Networking apps

External Audit

It’s clear to me that this isn’t good for me. My interaction with the outside world and being in the present is inversely proportional to how much I use IG/smartphone.

IG is obv the strongest drug, but in general want to be more conscious about what I do on my phone, when Inuse it.

Looking for genuine advice. Please help 🙏🏻

People who reduced IG/Smartphone usage, how did you do it?

Simple Shirley, Uninstall 
  
 If required, login from web only 
  
 I've set timers for 19 apps in my phone by digital wellbeing 🤷 
 It'll help in long run

I have been an introvert all my childhood, pretty shy, with a very small group of friends, and I thought I was the only one who felt lonely sometimes. Since joining college, I realised there are so manyyyy people out there(especially in the dev community) who feel lonely a lot of times. 
I wanna build an app to connect devs. Relationships are what makes our lives fulfilling right. I have the whole idea ready in my mind, and I talked to a couple peeps about my app idea too and they loved it

I wanna cure loneliness

From the last two years, I am not using instagram. 
Sometime I use reddit or twitter but not that much. 

Most of the people around me use insta.

Is Instagram worth it?

Have you guys tried using ‘Airchat’ - a voice based invite only Social Media App - a somewhat amalgamation of X and Clubhouse?

Voice Based Social Media App ‘Airchat’

Are Astrotalk numbers really true? Are they only doing ethical astrology? Heard they have an alternate app as well to target users and engage in adult chatting (Unconfirmed) - Does anyone know if that is happening?

Astrotalk

At one time I had contemplated building an app like grapevine. i.e. blind for India. Kudos to Grapevine folks for executing on the idea and actually building it. There was one wacky idea I had which I'll share. Rest assured it's wacky. 

A company based/wide live chat for anonymous internal ranting. The dream was that the entire  company would chatting and voicing their realistic thoughts during a boring ass all hands meetings. 

Of course there are legal problems with this as chances are you might get sued etc etc also the problem of verifying people from an org without comprising on anonymity. 

Anyway let me know your thoughts. 
Cheers

How frequently do you guys just approach a girl at random? On the streets, in bars, at gyms, etc. 

P.S. If you have any communication starters, please share.
