  1. Dance in the park Event
  2. Free boxes
  3. Bar has new sandwich
  4. WHY IS BLACK TEENAGER WALKING ON SIDEWALK
  5. Pictures of a rainbow

Mine right now (sorted by recent):

  • Ad for local flooring installer
  • Sponsored ad for power company
  • "Hey, everyone. ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Shawn. Hello!"
  • Ad for local home remodeling
  • User giving away a cat
  • Sponsored ad for garage doors
  • Another user welcome message
  • Found pet alert from local animal shelter
  • Sponsored ad for bathroom showers
  • Ad for local bathroom remodeling
  • Ad for local handyman service

So when it's not ranty freakouts it's 85% ads.
