How to pronounce“librex”in English

librex has it already been added yes it was added um today today okay so let me ask this is exciting because um

making librex was that i was taking this graduate level math class um my sophomore year um and i met this uh i

hope to achieve with librex sure let me break that down so what is librex librex is an anonymous discussion feed for college campuses it's a place where

i checked librex someone is writing hey i'm in boston does anyone want to get dinner yeah 30 minutes later i'm getting dinner

when i think about librex i think what makes it different it's the fact that everyone everyone knows what's going on everyone

community translates to the librex context of their community and beyond that we have conversation with them

individual user of librex or an individual user of the internet i think about like that one person that is on reddit saying hateful stuff

but currently librex is small in the sense that it's just it's a small set of communities that i believe and you mentioned to me offline

especially as librex continues to grow and expand and change and learn and because that's what we're doing is we're learning right

available at librex and you know not really communicable in 240 or 480 or whatever the number of characters

the the mission of librex is pushing back against the idea of safe spaces i think safe spaces are fine when they're within people's private lives

and thereby has power but back to librex so what uh what's the founding

story what's the founding principles of librex sure so i was on campus as a freshman and i was talking to my friends many of

uh two women meeting on librex and starting a finance club um at dartmouth to significant others um meaning there's an article recently

like simplicity and elegance which librex currently is clubhouse i'm a lot better by the way i don't i don't mean to uh

spoken about that differs between librex and yikayak is that yike was defined am i pronouncing it right even uh you're good yeah i'm good i met the

tremendous amount of conversation um librex is much more long form and so the kind of um posts that you'll get on librex are

i would love it if you join librex it'd be interesting to explore

conversations with in this kind of librex kind of context of anonymity because i'll tell you the few conversations that

perhaps in other places but seems like librex is a nice platform to discuss marvel minsky to discuss jeffrey epstein to learn from it to grow

the following is a conversation with ryan schiller creator of librex an anonymous discussion feed for college communities

spectrum it's not just it's not just librex is anonymous right um because librex isn't totally

usernames right um there are no usernames on librex it's all just schools names so he made this post about coin collection

and also in the case of facebook in the case of librex like beco like disappear it if you if you choose there's

prevent chaos from and hatred uh breaking out in librex so the way i think about it is we have

yeah and that's the question the limits of the power librex is growing not just in the number of communities

that by design you're scaling slowly carefully so how does librex scale is it

some extent at the same time the goals of librex are to create these positive communities and these

but what i will say is that um people come to librex and we always see a huge spike in users whenever there's like a tragedy on

written up at yale as well about two queer women who met on librex and started a relationship which was pretty it was pretty interesting to see people

which is that anonymity first of all anime is a tool in librex it was not the purpose of librex it is

up to that i think there's a lot of room for an app like librex with its the with with its foundational ideas to

in this particular case very significant biases yeah um i um so i started building librex for its own merits i i i i at first i

and the people who self-select to be on that app to be on librex and to be on yak respectively the last thing i'll say is

does that affect how you think about the computing infrastructure on which librex is based i was bothered not so

within like the intellectual context yeah it's funny i mean this is why librex is really exciting is it's pushing those

people yeah and beautifully but i mean i i don't know if you've how much you've spent on librex you've

tweaked and we're in constant communication with the community now if you want me to get into the principles that underlie librex's

more i just know that moderation is always going to be important to me because i don't think librex is librex unless we have open

so it could be just bots racism uh racism going back to the name of the app librex yes

be basically the if not one of the largest social networks in the world do you see librex as potentially scaling

at a lot more pertinent of a time a lot more quickly by posting their thoughts on librex than if they went to their school newspaper

uh it's not as easy as people think but it's interesting pragmatically speaking to hear what how you think about it in the context of librex

not spending your time the best way you could i don't know i am i'm torn on that but do you think about that with librex

talking it's like the thing we started this conversation with about truth it's like it is conversation so in that sense and i'd love uh if people on librex

libre free um x was support montu for free exchange
