What is your best advice for new people?

Don't let the paranoia of others here, dissuade you.

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.

1) ignore koggg
2) Welcome!
3) Don't hesitate to look around and interact with people

Don't get excited about any dudes here. They flirt like they get paid for it.

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.

Avoid the basement, at all times!!!

For the love of god don't go to the image feed!

just enjoy it. you may get blocked for no good reason but don't let that put you off the rest of the people.

Run now, as fast as you can 😂

Dont pretend youre new when youre not

Enjoy yourself... just post what you want, comment when you want, and most of all, be you.

Don't take it too seriously

° 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’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

Good luck!

Ignore the bullies who only want to demonize and call you names from whatever ideological or religious/spiritual/moral extreme. If they don't get a reaction they will go away. But don't be afraid to engage with those willing to actually engage in a thoughtful dialogue and try to understand one another.

The candy in the windowless van is not very sweet.

Be yourself.

Try to chat with a lot of different people, you never know who might be a great friend! ☺👍

Avoid getting emotionally attached to anyone on this site

Kog dont care

stay behind the tree and watch ,

Be Kind to others.

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.

Use this id for posts ..

New to SW?

How about liberal use of muting and blocking without hesitation. There's always trolls, but try to ignore them.

Do not respond at all to those making negative responses to your posts.

Don't expect people to be able to follow intelligent thinking of an important and helpful nature.

Find people with similar interests and don’t let people get to you

Play in the questions... Find those who share your views and don't bite lol

I don't have much advise really but I hope you enjoy your time on here.
乂º◡º乂

Good things come with time. Don't expect too much too soon.

enjoy, comment when you find post you like, post if you want…and be kind to others

Never take advise from a survivor, until you learn what they did to survive

Have fun and enjoy your stay..... Be careful of the ones that want to fall in love with you....

Welcome to SW and wish you the Best

Be naked, bring whiskey. And maybe tacos.

Enjoy, set up controls on your messages.

you might wish you hadn't.

Don’t take anyone here seriously

Don't take anything too seriously

Less is more...

uhm run?

Just have fun!

Run

Don’t take anyone or anything too seriously. Everyone is seeking something they don’t have in real life.

Always be nice and kind, even if they're being a Douche Canoe

Stop pretending to be new

Here on the site or in life, little bables?
