Official announcements and happiness!
I absolutely LOVE Imzy!
After finding out that one of the ex-reddit devs quietly released another community, I was thinking to myself. NO, this is the internet. There's bound to be trolls. There's bound to be people knocking you down and attacking you.
Though, I was so wrong about Imzy. It's given the internet hope. There's lovely communities out there, and there's lovely members. When I created a community on Imzy, I wasn't expecting much. If anything, I was expecting some trolls to come in. But with the invite process, it makes running a community so much more awesome. Like, it's hard to put into words how much it actually helps a community. But it actually does help alleviate the trolls.
To the Imzy staff and the members, I thank each and every one of you for being amazing human beings. I just wish there would be more awesome, fun loving communities in this dark world.
Thanks for reading. Send some love in the comments! I love each and every one of you.

Yay! Thanks so much for the kind words. It really means a lot! And there are actually several of us who used to work at Reddit over here. :)
As a note, it won't always be invitation-only (we're in private beta right now, but we'll launch publicly at some point!). But even after we launch publicly, people will be required to create an account to view most content and certainly to participate. We're very dedicated to having a healthy community atmosphere, so while it may not always be this perfect as we grow, we'll do our best to make sure it stays as great as possible!
Awesome, thanks for the response, Kaela. You guys are seriously changing the way communities work. And that's magical. <3
By the way, can you give us any insight on when this "some point" of public launching will happen?
We're aiming for sometime in September. More here.
To double quote Will Ferrell, "With all due respect, welcome to the fucking show."
:D
If you look closely you'll even see people participating anonymously in a nice way! Even the brand new anonymous app called Candid is already full of garbage.
Just goes to show, when you advocate lovely communities, usually the trolls get bored and leave. The nice outweighs the bad here. :)
Yay!!!
Thanks for joining us here! Your support means a lot to us ^_^
Thanks Jaleh. I'll be sure to track the team members down on Twitter. You lot are really kind and awesome :D

Glad you're part of the fold, welcome stranger! :3

You're a crustacean.

You're from the LP too? Woo!
Welcome @CheeseCast
Thanks for the warm welcome. :)
Was just taking a peek at your community. I'm intrigued! I'll do some more reading tomorrow. :)
Awesome, thanks! All the members usually chat on Discord. We're excited for imzy. It's a wonderful platform!
I'm constantly on discord usually found in the /lets_grab_coffee server... :) have a great day
I'm on that server! :D
The lack of trolling and toxic behavior has helped me feel more confident with writing comments. Plus I find myself reading the content more and exploring other comments and hitting that heart a LOT. There is magic in Imzy, and it's a delight! My only wish is that this delight be fostered and supported so it lives on and becomes "Imzy's Thing" once they open wide.
I just noticed the link to the community rules as I write. THIS. SO MUCH THIS.
