MyOshi is a Myspace-inspired site designed to help Vtubers connect with one another. As someone who has written about over 200 Vtubers, I was thankful that one of them gave me an invite code to try it out myself. After spending a lot of time on the site, I wanted to really put my thoughts down and explain what I think about it.

First, I’ll talk about how it functions. It’s essentially Myspace all over again, with profiles that you can customize using code and pick your top eight friends. It was a nice blast from the past, but what really helps are things like bulletins and forums. Both of these function as a great way to connect with others. With so many options to look at all posts or ones from your friends, it’s so easy to join in on conversations with others. You also have groups for your favorite games, music, and all kinds of fandoms to meet like-minded individuals, and you can promote your special events and add them to a calendar. If you’re looking for a collab, you can also have your schedule ready to go so that people know if you’re someone who has a schedule that works well for you.

Editing your profile does take a bit, as it took me some time to refresh myself on editing. I got really used to the uniform format of other sites that I got a bit eager to get my profile just right for me and had to re learn skills I haven’t used in some time. Profiles ask for a list of things you love, but also include your lore, people you want to meet, and streamers that you’re a huge fan of. So with all of that information front and center in full, it’s a great way to quickly get to know someone a bit.

What really helps is the culture behind the site. I do love all things social media, but I’m also a big believer that each site has its own culture, especially around things like connecting with others. Sites with a following system almost feel like a numbers game sometimes, so individuals feel the need to set their own criteria to who they follow. However, where MyOshi focuses on connectivity and making friends, there’s no follower number included, and somehow, that combined with all of its functions, creates an environment designed for just meeting people.

In my time trying out the site, I also took some time to look for people to write about. Because of how the site does a great job connecting people with others, I was met with an unparalleled amount of support and interest for my articles. This is one of the reasons I’m posting a lot this week, as I wanted to really celebrate that. So you’ll see a combination of people I’ve met all across social media to really hit home how great it is to meet so many different people.

So overall, I think MyOshi is a fun blast from the past with a great recreation of the Myspace days. It also does a wonderful job creating a chill environment to meet people, which I think is ideal for any content creator looking for new people to be a fan of or make content with.

As a bit of a miscellaneous thing, I actually really love how each profile has an option to boop people. Boops are just fun ways to poke people, like the early days of Facebook, and I love the notification sounds, so I end up getting pretty happy with each boop.

If you want to add me, feel free to check out my profile right here. If you’re new to my content, I’d love to get to know you and as always, have fun everybody.
