Is SW mostly negative place?

I know there is good and bad everywhere, and there are some great people here as well. But is this place more abundant with negativity or am I tripping?

I think it skews negative overall, but if you're willing to block shitty people, it can be more positive than negative. I only have 35 people blocked and it's basically peachy for me. A very large chunk of it comes from a small minority of users who are extremely dull and have nothing to bring to the table, so blocking them is basically a no-brainer.

It can be, yeah. For me it always depends. Some days it seems like everyone wants to shit on me, and other days everyone decides I’m the best person in the world.

@SW-User There's definitely a... seasonality to it, if you will. I think it's kind of a chain reaction, where when a couple of users are feelin' bitchy, it peeves off more and more until there's just this general stench of disgust and vitriol in the air. Stay heavy on that block button fam. ❤️

There are moments of negativity on here but I try to look beyond it . When it gets really bad I just log off and find something else to do

It's a sewer.

@hunkalove you've been here for a long time 🤔

@leeloh I suffer from low self-esteem.

Most people come here cause they’re depressed and tired of their “real life “, so you can imagine. I can tolerate negativity unless the main purpose of it is bringing someone down.

@SW-User accurate af

On some days, seeking out the positivity here can be a little challenging.
Carissimi · 70-79, F
This is so true. @StarLily
StarLily · 51-55, F
Yep.
Hello @Carissimi.🤗
Carissimi · 70-79, F
Hello, my dear@StarLily 🤗🙂

I just found this place a couple of days ago and it seems pretty positive to me so far
Can you feel ... the salt tonight 🥰
leeloh · F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout not me lol
This is just a general observation
@leeloh it’s the virtue signalling.. 😁

I think it mostly depends on how seriously you take it and how badly you need the positivity...

SW attracts a lot of people who want to "be themselves" in a way they can't be, on other social networking sites...it can be a hard pill to swallow sometimes.
leeloh · F
@LucyFuhr it's possible, but I try to understand everyone.
Coppercoil · M
People come here for a reason.. real life is unsatisfactory and therefore by the very act of coming here, most are expressing that they are unhappy. So its not surprising that their posts would, more often than not, reflect this generally negative attitude.

I've been a member since April 2018, and it's definitely changed a lot in the past 2 years. Not at all for the better, either. It seems like there is a lot more negativity now mainly due to politics and COVID-19 which has affected the whole world.
SW-User
It would be really interesting to do a study of backgrounds of sw members..
SW-User
True..no one would care about a qualitative study about this crew of misfits..though@Pfuzylogic

@SW-User
I am sure that EP did it’s studies.
SW-User
Yes, exactly @Pfuzylogic
Carissimi · 70-79, F
It’s not as bad as FB or Twitter, but it’s a lot more negative than it used to be. It’s not the site per se. The site is reflecting the present day culture, which, unfortunately, has become more hostile and intolerant of every faux pas, or innocent comment.

I suppose it might depend on what interactions we have with each other. Especially around sensitive topics that arouse passion. For me personally, I’ve not had very many negative interactions or experiences.
leeloh · F
@Longpatrol neither have I. I avoid nonsense fights and provocations, because I'd rather use my energy doing something I like.
But scrolling though the posts.. Eh I don't know, looks pretty downish
Carver · 31-35, F
A couple years ago, I’d be quick to rush in and point out all of the positive aspects of this “online community” we have, lol. But no, it’s mostly negative. There is no community here. No good one, anyway. 😆
leeloh · F
@Carver I honestly feel couple of years ago was more positive
Pfuzylogic · M
If you browse through past posts you will see the positivity when it seems that is negative.

There is a supportive community here.
leeloh · F
@Pfuzylogic could be
Pfuzylogic · M
@leeloh
Try it!
The world is a hard place to live in and there's way less censorship here than on most other (way more compartmentalized but constricted) forums.

So you see more reality.
I haven't made any stats on it, but it's likely more than 50 % of SW. However, our own mood will play a role on what we focus during our time here.
leeloh · F
@SapphicHeart yup I agree here
SW-User
Not for me. I agree that there is negativity here but it doesn't affect me.
leeloh · F
@SW-User you're a BOT
SW-User
@leeloh True, that might be why 🤔
leeloh · F
@SW-User 😊
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
It goes through ups and downs.
There's a lot of negativity in life generally at the moment. That's bound to be reflected on these pages.
summersong · F
Sometimes it can be but I think it’s possible to circumvent the negativity most of the time.
AuRevoir · 36-40, M
Maybe it's based off how many penises to vaginas get shown in the nudity section ratio?
leeloh · F
@AuRevoir hahahha very possible
JupiterDreams · 31-35
I feel guilty when I'm negative here. I try to be happy
leeloh · F
@JupiterDreams Good God no, don't feel guilty. I am just making a general observation. We all have days, girl ✨
Jasondf · M
It can be negative. There are many good people here though.
JoePourMan · 61-69, M
Not that I have noticed.
I see lots of kindness and love
SW-User
I must have em blocked it’s been cool vibes for me here lately lol ☮️
Wraithorn · 51-55, M
Maybe it's just the Covid depression.
Summerbreeze45 · 46-50, F
That seems pretty accurate
