Omg try going to sapphic spaces. So much of the time the first few questions go far deeper than you’d even had time to ever think about before.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind, it’s just such a different experience to be at a bar and get random questions about what/when the last time you experienced joy or what you hope to achieve in life.



Im not sure about the ethics of this company, which is Australian based, but I’ve been using Textra for probably 10 years now. It does base off the base messenger app, so messages are still put through google but I’m not sure that any apps can avoid that.
Otherwise though it’s clean and customizable. Pretty basic features like blocking, group messaging, reactions all work. The thing I like best is you can compose a message and reply directly from the notification bar. I think it’s something like $3 to remove ads forever, I paid forever ago and haven’t had any issues transferring through phones.
