[u][i]Steps:[/i][/u]

β˜€οΈ Create a New Post: https://similarworlds.com/post

β˜‘οΈ Select a Post Type

βœ’οΈ Write your Post Title & Content

... then in the options available below the post content box, users should now see the following options:

[quote][big][c=#666666]Visible to:[/c] πŸ”˜[c=#804600] Everyone[/c] [c=#666666]|[/c] πŸ”˜ [c=#800055]Circle/Friends[/c][/big][/quote]



"Private Posts" allow users to communicate much more freely and openly, with a form of privacy, between trusted Friends and Acquaintances.

[b]Posts marked as "Visible to Circle/Friends", can only be Seen and Accessed by those in the poster's Circle and Friends Lists.[/b]

Once a post has been created as "Private" (Circle/Friends), it cannot be converted into Public (Everyone) thereafter (for privacy reasons, to the existing commenters).


We hope that you will be able to enjoy and make good use of this and other new features we have worked hard on and released for you all!

Kind regards!

the danger i see in this is the further balkanisation of the site.

members will create their own echo chambers, hearing nothing but the reflection of their own views.

people will retreat into their silos, with cosy cohorts of like minded individuals. the site will degenerate into mutually exclusive tribes.

the exchange of ideas will diminish. the grit will disappear. and the opportunity for a pearl to grow in this oyster will be gone.

SW risks becoming not a potentially explosive forum for ideas but a series of polite coffee mornings.

SW risks becoming boring.

@Yulianna and it's already boring 😬

@Lilymoon no, i don't agree with that... it is interesting, has the potential to be more interesting if the members make it so.

there is no excuse for being bored... by SW or by life.

@Yulianna it's not interesting....hasn't been in quite a while. I'm surprised it's still running tbh

@Yulianna I am old dinosaur.
If it isn’t broken don’t fix it.SW is fixing things that weren’t broken.

Other forums I occupy don’t seem to do that....
And they aren’t all for over fifties either..

@Yulianna I mean it's basically already like that because of blocking. People block everyone who disagrees with them and create echo chambers.
