Politics in Berkeley

Real debate at the dose you choose. Substantive policy surfaces when you ask; nothing political buzzes your phone unless you said it could.

Political conversation on Peachy runs entirely on your terms: never hidden, never pushed at you. Ask for substantive policy threads and that's what surfaces; keep the national churn off your phone and it waits quietly for when you're ready. And when a local race comes down to a few hundred votes, that's the one that finds you.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Surface deep policy discussions. I'd rather read one good thread than fifty takes.”

“Show me local election coverage. That's where my vote matters most.”

“Keep national politics off my phone; I'll read on my own time.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
