My poem about Similar Worlds aka SW...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similar worlds is a place where people agree to disagree,
Diverse opinions clashing, people from different countries making their honest plea, some seeking truth, while others are unable to see,

Leftist bots running wild, attempting to control and shape minds,
What a wonderful site, an incredible find, people tangled within a twisting vine, just wasting time,

Users lost in self-pity lashing out every single day,
Other people simply attempting to make their way, from the straight to the trans to the gay, with the VIP's having to pay,

Topics include fetishes most people can't believe,
Truth and facts demanding a reprieve, many people who are upset and just here to grieve, many others who threaten to leave,

Freedom of speech often censored to a degree,
A block button is not enough for people who vehemently disagree, most on a time spending spree,

The down vote being used to show one does not jive,
With the original poster who is just looking to survive, many just hoping to stay alive, people wishing EP would revive,

Women bombarded with messages from men who just want to talk about sex,
Frustrated people who can't get over their EX, basically a place to text,

Oh and the music and the songs played on youtube,
Making people happy or sad or just wanting to groove,

Political posts abusing Biden and Trump,
And the diaper fetish guys/gals talking about taking a dump,

The questions and topics can vary,
From serious to funny to weary to scary,

It all boils down to cliques, hearts, selfies and the current "news" of the day,
The oblivious ones always having more to say, just like toddlers at play, most posts end up being cloudy and gray,

People in the Cheers bar looking to escape reality,
Don't expect this place to exhibit any normality,

Just spend time with the SW crowd and sit down and have a cup of coffee or tea,
I'm sure everybody here will politely chat and just agree to disagree.......

Also to find out about social behaviour in order to figure out things in real life.
SW-User
It's basically a diversion for me.
I try not to take it too seriously although I've had my moments lol
This place is becoming a real shit show. 🤷🏼‍♀️
SW-User
I just use it to entertain myself. But the improvements that you have listed would be much appreciated.
Pfuzylogic · M
I started on EP and flirted very extensively.
This carried on the tradition and in addition I sharied experiences and opinions I have shared personal writings of prose and poetry. The chance to gain an audience with people that know quite a bit about me personally I find very uplifting. I do have two other profiles which allow me more of an unrestrained political and artistic expression.
Im here to offer you all the alternative viewpoints
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
Damn it ... I just saw this.
You probably won't even bother reading it but I must write about this.
You say more staffing????
I want to be a moderator.
Seriously. I think I would be awesome. I got a good sense of humor and know crap when I see it.

Also in the results of the poll I think people are full of crap.
People don't find this site intentionally to pass time.
They all came for another reason. Like I found EP.

Like they searched NSFW and found this place.
They searched for grieving reasons and found this place.
They searched wife sharing and found this place.

Nobody just bumped into it and said hey I think I'll join and waste some time.
WRONG.
Viper · M
To see what silly and entertaining things people are up to, and interact with interesting people.
KimmyGary · F

Lumiel · 100+, F
I am here because there is no other way, iorbix will be eliminated.
@Andrew I come on here to pass time, users on here are immature and judgmental you can't even share your thoughts without someone making a joke or insulting you. It defeats the purpose of sharing your experiences in the first place. Due to the inconvenience, I no longer share my thoughts and feelings I rather use another site.
Here to escape stress in the real world
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@AndrewCan We Have A History Question Category An A Mythology & Folklore Question Category
Is that your real pic? Lol

I just use the site to pass some time when I get bored
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Andrew Sorry Andrew but the support ticket isn't working as promised. The "support" claims that them only being able to see "3" of the suicide reports while I know that I have many many more isn't the slightest bit worrying to them.

If that's truly the case then I am afraid that someone is manipulating your servers Andrew.
Andrew · Admin
@MartinTheFirst, as concluded by staff via your support ticket, after being provided with the actual warning notices you reference to,

the warnings you are seeing were actually "Suicide Help" notices, rather than "Suicide Reports",

thus they don't appear together with user reports in our system, being that they are a different feature (they are logged elsewhere).

(There was no manipulation of our servers)

The user has been internally blocked from your account.
We hope this resolves your issue.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Andrew yay!
TexChik · F
Hi Andrew. Like EP before this, I have cultivated friendships with some nice people and I like to keep in touch with them . To be honest and forthcoming with them, the veil that the anonymity this site provides its members allows me to do that without violating work restrictions with regards to social media. I appreciate your efforts and those of your colleagues to continue to improve this site. 😉
BlueVeins · 22-25
I generally just use this place to vent about shit that bugs me, make friends, read people's shit (almost any topic), and talk about politics and the human experience in general.
SW is like my favorite place to be myself other than RL.
Selah ·
Are you a model Andrew?
Andrew · Admin
@Selah, no, unfortunately too busy with business, for that. :)
SW-User
Keep me sane.
Moonpenny · F
I used to share more writing but there are too many negative comments now.

Thanks for keeping up with people's needs and wants. Good to know you're continually trying to improve the site 🙂
Andrew · Admin
@Moonpenny, thanks very much for the detailed explanation.
We will take all of this into consideration.

The idea of the "anonymous 'confessions section'" will also be considered, as we continue to receive feedback from other users over the coming months.
Moonpenny · F
@Andrew Thanks 🙂
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@Moonpenny

Great ideas.

It sometimes can be hard to determine if the poster is seeking compassionate understanding, or seeking suggestions, or challenging others beliefs, etc. So maybe an extra keyword to serve as a filter to help keep threads on track and as the poster intended.

It also may be beneficial in some cases to limit both visibility and participation just to group members.
Ingwe · F
in many ways our worlds are not so similar
I log on when I need distraction
KuroNeko · 41-45, F
for company, to have a laugh and a joke..a little banter..

To make someone smile 🤷‍♀️

You guys do a good job, thank you.

@BlueVeins I love to do the PMs
BlueVeins · 22-25
@SW-User I also love PMS.
SW-User
@BlueVeins hahaha
These days, pass time / boredom is all there's left.
Earthwrap · 41-45, M
As far as I'm aware the original idea of EP and SM is exactly as the name implies "Similar Worlds"

to find others with the same problems, experiences, or interests to work through them, support one another, and improve.

However, it seems instead it's mostly trolling and bored people on here that detract from that goal.
Andrew · Admin
@Earthwrap, I see. Thanks for sharing that experience.

We will keep these responses in mind, and see how we can improve things.

We believe that the Group Consolidation / Restructuring should help to improve this aspect of our site.
BlueVeins · 22-25
@Andrew Are we ever gonna be able to create new groups?
Andrew · Admin
@BlueVeins we are working on Group Consolidation increasingly these past days. It's a top priority for us now.

As for the creation of "New Groups",
if we allow something like this, it may not be "Groups" per say,
but more so a private Community or Blog, which can be used for the same purpose.
Lostpoet · M
Procrastinate, share experiences, troll, meet people, understand other people, share Coffee and puppy pics.
SubstantialKick · 36-40, M
I don't really have any friends offline, and so it's my place to connect with people.
SW-User
Meant primarily to be a short-lived stay for me because of temporary retirement and taking care of a family member during the virus craziness.

Now, after a month or so on the site, it seems to be worth hanging around as time permits, and right now I still have that time.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Personally i just love the interaction with folk of all ages and backgrounds and experiences from all over the world.

It reminds me that whatever troubles i have there are others dealing with far worse.
I find something cathartic in that.
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
Andrew...I’m laughing at all the reasons for being here. You nailed it! I can’t wait to see what new features/enhancements are being made! Thanks for your hard work!
4meAndyou · F
I like to read while I am drinking my coffee or tea every morning, and I also like to comment.
SW-User
Share experiences. Chat /connect with friends I've made on here.
Hasmita · M
Looking to find like-minded people to help with my purpose as well as others who can benefit but always find great people who become friends.

Thank you for everything you are doing🙂


I also enjoy the people who are nothing to do with my purpose. The diversity is invigorating.
Leafkiss · 26-30, F
Well, sharing some thoughts may it be postive or negative. Some people here will support you and sympathize with you even that you won't feel all alone. You and all of the other people here is important and is living in the same world. "Similar Worlds"
Echoing · 61-69, F
Hello!
I come here to voice my thoughts that can be both.. positive and a release of negative energies. Sharing my days.
But I come here looking for friends, who are like-minded.
gregloa · 61-69, M
Love my friends to join in prayer. Especially in these uncertain times. Thanks for all that you do.
helenS · 36-40, F
I'm here to learn and listen. Especially to people from foreign countries.
AuRevoir · 36-40, M
I'd say I come here to try and have fun, or vent about things...
Sometimes to escape real life negatives...
One thing I'd like is if the limit on changing our names could be taken off so I could get into characters and entertain more like I used to do on EP.. But since how the site works against that, I haven't been able to do such things in a very long time..
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Hell I come every day to see If you have games yet
Peaches · F
I come here to be entertained. ⭐️ I try to post things I think people will like as well. It's thoughtful of you to add "share thoughts without being judged" to your poll, and I've been brave enough to do that too once in a while! 🙃 You and the staff here are appreciated more than you may realize.
JupiterDreams · 31-35

I share my writings here
Andrew · Admin
@SW-User, I've added this option to the end of the poll:

• Share my content (Writing / Art / Photography / etc)

Full steam ahead on the development of SW games please. You'll see many more users on the site I imagine. 😌
texasborn89 · 31-35, M
Be myself anonymously and talk to people on here who like the same thing I do
xSiFiGamer2016x · 26-30, M
I would share stories, make friends, and my hobbies more than anything else.
rottenrobi · 56-60, F
Definitely to share my thoughts and experiences.
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
Oh dear the multi answers didn't work.. not a good start! I come here to relax, unwind, interact with people rather than vegging out in front of the tv.. To find likeminded people, make new friends, chat with friends, discuss politics and issues, be entertained.
