for real, IIT is difficult enough, last thing it needs is a "tea" situation, avoiding nonsense trends like that goes a long way towards more prosperous futures for everybody.

What's a "tea" situation?
I think they are talking about the popular app that also creates profiles of people without their consent and allows publicly defamating them.

Situations where gossip is the goal, not happenstance (https://cassettesofradhika.medium.com/spill-the-चाय-aabbc2cb...) - somebody feel free to correct me there if I'm mis-explaining it
its really not as difficult or glim of a place as everyone’s making itout to be. Its literally a uni. And all i had done was make a site where people were talking about their friends and batchmates and telling gossip (which btw anon insta pages exist, reddit exists, i just made something better) most of which was not bad things. Why is everyone so dramatic. Like im seriously asking, over 200 ppl are shitting on me in that thread but i didnt feel bad at all, why is one bad comment on you such a big deal that you have to shut my site down
hey man, you're obviously smart and have a lot of potential. It's just about using that for something productive that builds society and people up. This is one of those things that'll make sense 10 years from now when you look back at it.
