Oh I am familiar with that anxiety spiral. 🫂 An exhausting classic.

Yes, I am stoned. 😅🐷

Congrats! 🎉

Ooo I don't think I read that one!

Holy shit memory unlocked 🤯 The one I kept going back to was "It's Great to Gain" I think?

Ooo but now you can make up a bunch of fun, fake stories to pull out when someone says, "hey, that's a cool/sexy scar. How'd you get it?"

You can drop the real story in the rotation too if you want. Leave everyone wondering for the rest of time.

I've actually only used Telegram for 1:1. Never tried their channels before.

Discord has potential but their app isn't great for juggling more than one account.

Exactly. I don't want another social media platform but I do want a functional, free way to build gainer community outside of Grommr (which is just never gonna invest in itself in a meaningful way that makes it a better space for the community) while maintaining some, however flimsy, privacy.

I would low-key love to set up a gainer Mastadon but I looked into that one time and immediately got overwhelmed.

That would be awesome if you don't mind! ♥️

Also, general question: are there good online gainer spaces outside of Grom and Bsky? Both have limitations that I find frustrating and IG stories made it feel so much easier to strike up conversations and stay in touch.

I'm trying to organize one if folks are around and down

I lend my belly to the cause of dinner roll consumption

Does this help?

Thanks 🐷 you should come help!
