Remember that the people of SW can be like a family, if you are lucky. Always comment on the posts of people whom you perceive to be kind, and avoid the sick looking stuff like the plague. The algorithm here will usually note your preferences and give you the people you like in your feed.
You can also go to the profile page of people you like, and click on favorites, and then you will see every one of their posts in your notifications column.
If someone is really awful, and you don't want to see them again, go to THEIR profile page and select the block option.
@bijouxbroussard it seems to be some kind of inside joke among some others, but from the outside he just looks like an @$$. That's not an acceptable way to welcome outsiders, no matter how funny it may seem to some. 🤷
Don’t take it seriously. Don’t post about things you are emotional about because people will mock you for it for a cheap laugh. Treat it like a cheap stand up comedy night.
You’ve already got the green dot away so that’s great Honestly just write whatever you would like There’s not nearly as many posts as their used to be And with the new algorithm a lot of posts fall through the cracks Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a lot of responses or anything It’s a real hit or miss thing here, just keep posting and commenting and having fun
There’s a lot of great people here, you just have to sift through the mud to find them
° Read the posts and reply to them first before posting.
It gets you familiar with the site and the users.
° Use the forums more than your feed.
There are lots of users you will never see in your feed, that feeds never show. That happens on everyone's feed.
° Add as many groups as you possibly can. And mute any groups or whole categories, if you're not interested in them or just can't stand the group subject.
This will help with blocking certain types of users. What you don't see in your feed, you don't have to block. You are limited to 500 user blocks. Many women unfortunately use up all their blocks quickly.
° For women mostly. Set your inbox request filter settings to:
"Users I haven't added as Friend"
This will prevent flooding of your inbox.
Don't forget to follow those you might possibly wish to hear from. They will get notified of your follow and can follow you back, then you're considered friends.
° Last, don't be afraid to moderate your own posts.
It's your post! No one else's post! Delete comments and replies more than block them. You are limited to 500 blocks.
Blocking should be used if they are a frequent problem.
Personally I have yet to block anyone after being here over eight years.
You would get nowhere with your first id. Your inbox would have been spammed right now. So create another I'd to connect with those who you like through pm. Don't make any posts from that.
