You moved off FriendHole because of the accusations against the programmer, and now you're trying FishingFox instead. All your friends and their posts are already there, just like they were on FriendHole, it's all the same on like the techy programmy level, but FishingFox is better anyway because it has cool animations.
And they're not just for show, they actually do something too. See, every post floats gently down a pixelly river, and there's this lil fox guy sat on the bank with a fishing rod. You can scroll through the river like any other app, but if you tap on the fox, then whatever post happens to be under his rod at the time, he reels it in and walks over to another screen and asks you where you wanna put it for safekeeping.
But where do you wanna put it! You've got all these boxes, and those boxes can go inside other boxes, like your hard drive y'know? You might put a post in recipes/bread/sweet, or diy/wood/plans, that kinda thing. The boxes are good because it doesn't matter how old a post is, you can still get to it easily, you don't have to scroll back through the time stream to remember when you saved it, you just have to remember what it's about.
Cool thing is, you can mark these boxes as open boxes, and folk can come and rummage through them if they want. Alex has a box per car, with all, like, service manuals and shaft photos and stuff, and Jim has a garden box and inside that he's meticulously placed one box per tree and kept logs of when it was planted and fertilized etc. Someone posts a question you know about, you go "Oh dude check my boxes, I got whole boxes full of that stuff," you feel useful.
When you tap on Alex's boxes, there's a lil pixel raccoon in the corner saying hi. That's because Alex is vegan, and doesn't like the fishing fox, and uses the raccoon sifting trash out of the stream with a net instead.
You're vaguely aware that some folk would call your boxes a "website" but it's nowhere near that complicated, you're not gonna go learn about HTML and servers and all that crap just to save some wiring diagrams, you just tap on things and tell the fox where to put them, and everything's neat and tidy and organized.
Well, YOUR boxes are neat and tidy and organized anyway, Jen's are just labelled BIRDS and NOT BIRDS
