Absolutely agree. I now actively dislike this company and product and I don't even know what it does. And I'm male. Regardless of the sex, identity, or orientation of the poster, it's crass, sexist, juvenile, and unprofessional. Frankly as someone who lived for a long time in a place where there is a serious homelessness and drug overdose problem, I wasn't too impressed with the use of homeless people as a repellant either. |

We build real-time extensible messaging platforms. I apologize that I haven't described it too much in this post; mostly meant it for my twitter audience who already have heard of it before, but I do understand that I've done a very bad job at describing what it does. I will make a post on it later.

We're not a project that take ourselves too seriously yet. The internet started off weird, and I think some weirdness is probably necessary. With that being said, we're currently using AI art in our publications because we don't have that much funds right now (we'll probably hire a designer at some point)

I used it as an opposition to "the public square of the internet" analogy used by X (formerly known as Twitter). The city I previously lived in had a decent amount of homelessness and drug problems (although probably not to the point of some US cities). If you have a better analogy, please let me know so I can make a better analogy!
