Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Yeah, stay on twitter. It's so useful for discoverability.
From article:
X, the company formerly known as Twitter, will no longer allow advertisers to promote their accounts within the platform's timeline to attract new followers, according to an email to advertising clients obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: Promoted accounts — or "Follower Objective" ads — generate more than $100 million annually in global revenue for X, a source familiar with the company's business told Axios.
Details: In a note to clients on Aug. 10, an X representative said the company planned to start "depreciating the Followers objective" ad unit beginning as soon as last Friday.
What they're saying: Asked for comment, X acknowledged that the company was depreciating the ad unit.
