Why do people here say experience project was so much better?
I seen lot of posts talking bout experience project and how good it was so I wanna know why and if it not around no more why dont this site just copy it and make it the same if its so good?
The site layout was much better, especially our home page where we opened up to our private whiteboard by default, could immediately see responses from our friends on a separate column and could post our daily moods, customize our page layout with different dialogue blocks and even change the colors of the page. Home pages really helped make it a personal experience
@matthewjames Sure but EP was different. My home page showed me everything at once, my whiteboard showed the good morning messages from my friends, comments on my moods random messages about new stories. It was My special page. Others could only see the parts that were open to them, we had friends only stories and posts, comments from friends were displayed on a sidebar so they were always visible immediately
Groups, layout, a bit more freedom than here, an actual APP on google play and the app store, more people, better communication, felt more like a family than here, not everything was run by an algorithm that makes you think you're looking at stuff you want to see when you're clearly not, EPAllie was amazing, the coins actually had a purpose outside of giving gifts and hoarding, VIP actually made sense, no Block limiter, no chat message limiterposts were actually very interesting and not a lot of catfish like here. At least not until the end of EP
I had been on it for 2 years and had no idea of blocking. It simply wasn't needed. Generally, SW is the first social media site ever when I actually learned about blocking other users as a common thing to do. On EP, I was in my bubble interacting only with people who had something relevant to say on the topic and no random outsider budged in.
@Magenta Yeah, I've never been to a site like SW before. It's much more about a community where your history and identity matters. Before it was more about anonymity, experiences and opinions. Now it's about who is expressing the opinion or tells a story.
You'd have to been there too see. Similar worlds is a spin off from experience project. I think over the years similar worlds has made it better. Just for me, one or two of my friends passed over to this site. And I miss the ones who didn’t.
It changed over time. In the last year or so of EP it was very much like SW is now. Before that, they were way if you were trolls. There was almost no political debate. And frankly people had more intimate fun. Yes they were catfish, but there are more here now. Yes you could have sexy chat like here but it was a higher quality to be honest. When might say the people there were more sophisticated and it’s first few years. Conflicts did not last long or they went private.
@SatyrService Yes, it fell apart in the last year, but it still created lasting connections. The veterans of EP here among us like me can attest to that. It was sophisticated, fun, cool, and time spent there was rewarding.
I think way back before EP got flooded the crowd was just a lot nicer to each other. The community was smaller and friendlier. Then apparently they were on television and got flooded with perverts and towards the end in my opinion it became worse than here, only because on here we have better filters.
@matthewjames I'm saying the filters offer more protection from the kind of degeneration that happened at the end of EP although EP was a lot better and didn't need nonsense filtering to start with, as I recall. SW has had that **** from the start.
That's what they did here at first. Then they started implementing their own ideas and forcing the worst feed algorithm in the history of computing on us.
@Magenta Hi, M! So nice to see you here! Happy Sunday! It is my only night off in a week. I am so craving my bed, but staying up until midnight if I can. Gotta pack some living into this one night! *Sprinkles star dust for you to take home and sew with golden threads into a winter quilt*
