Hey, I just wanted to throw an idea out here and see what you think!

I should preface this with that, while I'm on social media, I'm not really a heavy user. However, lately, I've been bothered by the amount of suggested content on Instagram and Twitter, and I remembered some time ago, I tried a different social media platform called Vero, where there are no ads or suggested posts (I think!), and you can post messages and images and do stuff like book and film reviews etc. I don't know much about it but functionally it seems cleaner and more intuitive than other platforms. Very few seem to be using it, and who knows, maybe it'll be shut down soon. However, I thought it could be fun if enough people from these forums would like to connect.

I should say that I'm not an advocate for this app. I just thought it seemed neat and perhaps it could be fun to create a little Christian network. Also, this is not meant to draw people away from the forums, but rather to connect more. And I wanted to ask my Lutheran friends first, as you are the ones I write with the most, but I'm glad to hear from everyone! Anyone interested?

EDIT:
Presuming at least some are interested, I've resurrected my old account, and I'd love to invite you to connect with me at @Daniel9v9

Sounds cool. I was just thinking that It would be cool to start a fellowship with Christians but I need to find something I can attend in person near me. I live in the united states, UT SLC area. If anyone on here sees this and wants to connect I have a bible study group with only two members anyone welcome to join!

That's great! I live in Japan, so that's as far as you can get, but I pray you're able to connect with someone in your area. God bless!

If you're going to develop a website, it's going to cost a lot of money

Oh, sorry for the confusion! I'm not talking about creating a new platform, but to use Vero as it seems pretty flexible and free from suggested posts and ads, and because there isn't a lot of noise on it, at least as far as I understand. Anyway, I've resurrected my old account in case people do want to jump on board. If you or whoever's interested, you can find me by getting Vero and searching for "Daniel9v9". :)

I can kinda see the usefulness behind it. What uses would you see to further the kingdom of God?

Well, speaking for myself, besides general outreach, I think it could be a good platform for brief devotional and pastoral posts and book recommendations, and just a means for being a bit more plugged in with people from these forums. I'm also interested in what other people have on their hearts, that I may help with prayers and however else I can!
