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.

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.
