Roost app encourages ultra‑slow social interaction, likening pace to a carrier pigeon

Roost is a new social‑media app that deliberately limits interaction speed. The platform forces users to wait before posting or responding. Its pacing is described as comparable to the flight speed of a carrier pigeon. The concept aims to counter the rapid tempo of mainstream networks. Roost’s design encourages thoughtful, less impulsive communication. Promotional material includes an image of a wild rock dove or common pig. The visual underscores the app’s quirky, slow‑living branding. The creators hope the approach will foster more mindful online behavior.
