So I love being able to learn new things like that. And the last part I want to talk about and why I stayed on Swell is the general community on here. I have met so many different people on here through my posts and through theirs, and I've just made so many connections, and I feel like these people that I regularly converse with on Swell are people I really know

Hey, Isabella. I just wanted to pop in here and say thank you for articulating this in a way that I know resonates with so many people. And I learn from you. I'm a student of you. As much as I feel that I pop in here a lot to espouse my own ideas, I certainly have an ear to voices like yours. I just want to thank you. And, yeah, it's a good refuge for the crazy world we're living in. I appreciate it

Hey, Isabella, Eric here. Thanks so much for the invite to this webcast. You know, that's a really good question. What keeps me on Swell casts it's. I guess I just enjoy sharing thoughts and and ideas and stories with different people. Now, the one thing that we have to remember with SoCast is this is not a live conversation

Hey, Eric, I i really enjoy your your thoughtful response here. And I think in another swell, you also mentioned, you know, the difference between live and this kind of asynchronous time shifted conversation. It strikes me interesting too, because we were talking about the connection between people when they're really going back and forth. And it is, I think, a dopamine connection that you have differently. It's a different kind to open me when you're live than when you're time shifted

I have only been on Swell for two weeks and I thoroughly enjoy it. I do appreciate your suggestion, or you stating that you check out other stations that you normally don't and participate in just to learn something new, participate in a different conversation, and I believe I might try that. It is a very inclusive and open and respectful community compared to other social media platforms. And I enjoy it because for me, life is about exploration, learning, having an open mind

Hey, Deborah. Hi. Eric here. Good morning. Happy Friday. I wanted to just do a quick little reply to your reply to what I was saying on my on my to reply to the person who posted or started the conversation. Anyway, I did not realize it until you had mentioned it, and it really resonated with me, because one of the biggest selling points of this platform is that you're right. No one is talking over you. No one is interrupting you
I like to make sense. So, yes, when I'm talking, I'm not that great at conversations, but I absolutely love the discussion flow that Swell has. And I really think as the platform develops, swell should focus on highlighting conversations or threads like this one. Discussion should be the heart. As of now, I don't see the app being very well organized. I don't know. There's this whole stations thing
