Perfect social app to enjoy

I’ve enjoyed Gander since its start and love the community and its content. Often funny, meaningful, current, and like my friendly neighbourhood on my walk to the coffee shop for a cup and some conversation. Thanks Gander!

It’s Canadian Eh!

Like Canada it needs some improvement, but non toxic and friendly at least until foreign interference happens.

Breath of fresh air

I feel so lucky to have found this community. Affirmingly Canadian. Thanks Gander!

Like it so far!

Great community. Would love to be able to edit posts!

From Beta to Early Days

This is a very cool, human-centric, virtual space. It’s been awesome being a part of the evolution.
