This instance is for book lovers, food enthusiasts, world event followers, Japan aficionados, and individuals of diverse orientations (LGBTQ+, ND, etc), cultures, and backgrounds.

What are our goals? In the broadest sense Apricot Systematic is devoted towards communication, human communication. We believe that machines are simply a form of mirror or lens that people can use between themselves and on themselves. Every program, every machine, no matter how abstract, arcane, or seemingly removed from the common nature of human existence was created to serve as a conduit for human interaction. Even if it is an old archaic COBOL program written to count the number of checks written on a bank in a month it shares this purpose.

We want to help bring together book lovers, food enthusiasts, world event followers, Japan aficionados, and individuals of diverse orientations, cultures, and backgrounds. The platform offers a space for members to share their passions, connect with like-minded individuals, and engage in meaningful conversations in a supportive and inclusive environment.
