I don't know, I was at different place in life and in different headspace. It's hard to compare.
All I know is that I've grown very skeptic toward social media sites in general over time. Regardless of the site, some initial magic got lost. I don't see the same spark and will to connect and share.

Yes. It felt more personal and real somehow. It seemed like there was more connection on a meaningful level. Maybe I was just more naive, lol. I do appreciate the expense and effort it takes to create such a site, and I am grateful for SW. There are some lovely people here, and I hope to see more discovering the site.

It was a very different place and time.

Social media has exploded since then.

Politics has changed since then.

Some weaponize social media as a means of expressing their own brand of hate.

Some will express hate using the anonymity social media allows them when they couldn't before.

EP was new and something different. Many flocked to it. Then became dark.

SW is much more structured and smaller. The concept is good though.

Even if I am your polar opposite and don’t really like you we both have this SW experience in common and therefore kindred as not many people in general get the unique qualities of this place

It was more cozy and a lot of fun.
Many interesting posts to read and feel good about myself when I felt so alone.
Alonejasmine was my username, generally people were nicer than SW, I don’t remember any unpleasant time there.

All i know is i had more friends and talked to more people on EP,im not sure why that is ???

More cozy and less intimidating at the same time LESS INTERESTING.

1. A lot less members of SW as compare to EP
2. Very few trolls on here
3. Organised trolling does not exist over here anymore
4. People trying to sell stuff like camp, people those black magic can things on EP. I miss all of that
Sometimes the whole homepage of EP would be flooded with spam and advertisements from all the trolls
5. EP was wild SW is more sanitised version

Yes

100% correct, and a lot more friendlier

Yes I do.

I was only on EP for a short time but the two seemed different.

EP had some beautiful people and places. It also had some dark stuff going on in dark pockets.

SW is more like the Breakfast Club. We are all stuck in the same room together. On one hand, it makes you realize that there are a lot of awesome people who would usually hide in their respective cliques. On the other, it might hinder the creativity and expressiveness of some individuals.

yes

Absolutely. It is the difference between sitting outside in the winter on the cold earth (SW) or relaxing on a nice leather couch with a warm throw (EP).

If you miss EP... look for help first.
Because missing EP can have serious consequences...
Like having a subscription to Nexus magazine. 😱

SW is smaller so how could it be more cozy?

EP is long gone and dead. Does it really matter what it was because it’s never coming back and SW is what we have.

I barely remember it anymore at this point.

A lot has happened in the last five years and usage of mobile and content available in the internet. People have reduced attention span, and social media has drowned in contents.
That makes it a problem to compare.
EP was nicely structured into groups and we were more focused, involved and inquisitive.
SW is competing with so much of social media and other stuff on internet.
One doesn't feel that kind of involved, focused participation.

I would have to say yes. More meaningful as well. But this place is a bit livelier though.

Was there for 2 years barely remember anything about it

Neither of those two ever felt cozy.

Experience project was so much fun.

doesn't matter much anymore, last i checked using Microsoft Edge the website Experience Project doesn't even exist anymore, it was fun but did have a dark side to it which eventually became it's undoing.

For me it did.

Yeah I certainly felt more comfortable sharing my actual thought

Yes. I still communicate daily with someone I met on EP.

Different place, different time. EP was fun for it being pretty wide open but there was also a darker element to it nearer the end. Since then we've all experienced Covid and tRumpism, this place has gotten nastier too as time has progressed... I don't seem to remember as many godbots on EP though?

As far as "coziness," they're about the same to me.

Definitely yes and much friendlier.

It was fun.

Little bit different.

Absolutely

Can’t remember…it closed back in [b]2016[/b].

its different for sure. There were a lot more search options on EP that helped you find specific people to connect with.

Not more cosy but more exciting. I miss the vibe it had. Everyday was thrilling.

Too many years ago now to remember without rose tinted glasses.

Nah I didn't really get along with anybody on EP.

Sure if ya liked getting murdered

its exactly like Twitter and X

It had tackier furniture.

It was for me!

Yes very much

Yup

Yes

Ep only actually operated for about 8 years, this site is 7 years now but yet we can't get rid of the ep stink🙄

Yes i BLOCK more here than e p and isee every body not only ten people
