Tell me something a new user wouldn't know here?

I'm new to this site since yahoo answers shut down and I also wasn't a fan of reddit. Can you tell me how you came about this site? What you like? Something a new user should know? Thank you


Yeah I don't like the trolls. I enjoy sharing my thoughts, experiences, or giving advice to people.

Don't feed the trolls.


Welcome to SW :)

Found it after the original site that inspired it shut down. In which this one was created and came here when it was created in 2016. I like the layout, also the people, lotta nice people once you get to know who is okay and who is not.
And yeah, dont feed the trolls. If you see drama, watch from afar, have popcorn.

Welcome. Is a really nice site to talk about experiences.. Many friendly and caring people as well.
I was in ep years ago

Welcome to SW 😁 don’t take this place too seriously. Have fun chatting if you like but be careful... and don’t be afraid to use the block!
Welcome to SW

This is not just another site to argue a point

Expression is good, arguing is counter productive

You have powerful tools to create your own experience ... these include local writing, blocking, muting, deleting comments and wide audiences.

If a member makes you uncomfortable or argues with you ... just block them and forget they even exist.

Members block heavily.

If you argue with somebody, rather than them responding ... they will likely block you (easier for them too)

Everything runs through a single "feed" but you can filter it to just feed what you are interested in.

The best posts are those that express a personal feeling or thought

Worst posts are those that insult beliefs to create argument ... these backfire 19 out of 20 times. (Many yahoo members are doing this and being blocked quickly, which really destroys their experience here forever)
@questionWeaver that's pretty concise ... well done.
@BoobooSnafu thank you!

Thirteen years back I was logged in on facebook, when I'd constantly get an ad for "sharing experiences with people who have gone through something similar". So I clicked on the ad and it took me to a website/forum where I made an account and started to share stuff. Then I forgot about it for a couple years, after which I was freshly heartbroken and decided to visit again. Then the site shut down. Three years later, this website sprang up, so I joined again. And have been lurking around ever since.

@SW-User That's where the fetishers thrive!
Use block button more often
uploading images is kinda pointless here, they display larger and your uploads aren't limited if you put them on imgur and link.

buying vip lets you see who views your profile.... unless they also buy vip and hide views.

There was another similar sight called Experience Project, trolls and pervs took it over and it was shut down. This one opened in its place and that’s what brought me here. It’s a great place to share things, vent, and connect. There’s so many awesome, unique, and supportive people on there!
Tagging limit is 20 most times. some accounts are limited.
have a good reputation on sw.
can import their Ep posts from using the dead EP site "Eport My content forum" which will transfer their posts with their comments of users who aren't here. you can't see their profile, but when they create their sw account comments on imported posts will show the sw members username and basic details.
hiding a post
will let others continue the conversation, the notifications turn off for the op for some reason

@Jabulani can they import yahoo profile on sw?

@mysteryespresso That would be a nice addition. Well, we can download our content to save it, questions we asked and questions we answered I'm assuming. But the only thing I brought over to here was my YA profile picture. I made that during the days of Yahoo Messenger, and it carried over to YA.
@mysteryespresso
just able to download it to your pc. even if it doesn't work well asking admin before yahoo shuts down completely if some things from the profiles can be transferred to sw.
I know the simple download button where your settings are in browsers like chrome can download pages offline.. like messages, or whatever... some buttons wont appear when you open the file but it'll be almost like the page you're on.

The SW water-cooler is spiked with gin every second Thursday.

When it was ep 2 disturbed members hooked up. One was suicidal, the other a cannibal. She got killed but he couldn't go through with the cannibalism.

I saw an ID show on it. That's how I found the site

@Slade omg that's horrifying
