Small talk is the tax you pay for meeting people online

MySelpost is built around a truth most chat apps dodge: nobody wants to open with “hey”.

So it gives you a prompt people can’t ignore.

A photo.

You post it. Others roast it. You laugh, clap back, and suddenly you’re talking like humans instead of bots.

What MySelpost actually is

MySelpost (myselpost.com) is a web-based social platform for global chat plus a playful photo-roasting loop.

The vibe isn’t polished. That’s the point. It’s quick, messy, and social in the way group chats used to be before everyone started “building a personal brand”.

Why the photo-roast angle works

Text-only chat dies because it has no fuel.

Photos fix that.

A pic gives strangers something concrete to react to: outfits, expressions, backgrounds, bad lighting, “why is there a microwave on your bed”. all of it. The roast becomes the opener. The chat becomes the follow-through.

And because it’s framed as humor, people type more than two words.

Global by default

Most apps make you hunt for interesting people.

MySelpost leans into “chat foreigners” energy right on the front door. That matters if you want:

new friends outside your bubble
language practice without a classroom feel
culture swap without the cringe

Built for the phone you already live on

The site pushes an install prompt like a PWA, so it can feel closer to an app without forcing an app-store download.

It also wires up web push notifications (via OneSignal), which helps pull people back when the conversation heats up.

The real win

You don’t need a perfect profile.

You need a reason to talk.

MySelpost turns “post a pic” into instant context, then lets the social momentum do the rest. Less posing. More banter.

Show up. Post. Take the hit.

Then talk.
