what preconceptions or assumptions did you have or make about SW when you first joined?

It was different when it first started. People were a lot kinder. I expected that.

i was overly shocked at how open minded and weird everyone was. Then that came to be the very beautiful reason I love it so much

I was shocked at all the pooping crap and all the weirdos on here and was not going to join but as a few friends joined, so did I ....there are so many lovely people on here, but still too many assholes, but the good out number the bad by a long way and so blocking the vile ones makes this a great site......and those poopy ones seem to be few and far between .....so a great site

I was expecting EP 2.0 but did not happen unfortunately

I knew what EP was like. I ghosted it without becoming a member.

What it changed into is a totally different monster. Who wins when a community turns from whole group of chameleons into a minority of trolls?

There's definitely no saints here now. Nor was their any saints there then.

Ich liebe deinen unsernamen, fräulein. 😁

Is it like EP?

That it would be like EP(experience project), but it's a bit more toned down

That it'd be a reasonable EP replacement, which it is. In many ways I think its better.

I honestly didn't have any in the beginning. I was recommended here by my friend and so I turned up with no particular expectations. When I was first here there seemed to be a lot more gross posts happening so I guess I had mixed feelings, but there are less of those now. I mean, I haven't had to witness shitty underwear for a while, which is a blessing 😂

I assumed that personal messaging would be a bad idea.

That people would be nice. Some clearly aren’t.

It'd be something like EP, it kinda was correct

...it was never, ever EVER going to be as cool as

Exactly the same.😏

Was better than facebook. And it was at first actually.

I expected it to be very similar to EP, and it is.

I didnt have any.. 😄

I thought this is like EP

I originally thought the way it worked was that you only saw posts in groups you were in.

No.
