This site is strict and protect the users. The platform informed me that one user who has been writing to me is a fraud which I am thankful for! I don’t like that we have to upgrade to meet more other people but this is how it works here. It’s also about luck who contacts you. Overall, I like the strict security part.

the contact process is better, the report process not so, suspicious characters while prevalent, are less

i joined last year after seeing videos of people writing to their penpals and receiving pretty letters, and it was so easy and fun to set up an account. I think the system in which the website works is really cool too. And it's very safe and accessible, and i've met some of my closest friends on here which just opens so many doors, so i really really recommend!!
