We're still very much blown away by all the extremely consistent creators sharing their stories on the gFam platform. We know that we're new, and it's a whole other platform to set up (and then another one to enable tipping via Xumm), so we're really very grateful that everyone has put so much effort into us.
We would, just like every other social media platform out there, not have a platform at all without you all. Thank you for your efforts!
