My new social media app is called Grouse. You can only post criticism of the 3,000 other new social media apps.

Posts are called “Gripes.” No likes or reposts—just one button to “Commiserate.” If a Gripe receives enough Commiseration it’s elevated by the algorithm into a “Complaint.”

Also there’s an academic version called “Faculty Meeting.”

@ryancordell in 1980s Australian culture, 'grouse' meant 'excellent', so Australians and watchers of Australian soaps in the UK might arrive with very different expectations
@mia @ryancordell well where I come from a "toot" is loud flatulence so they can learn to cope
