πŸ”’ Private Posts 🚷 for your Friends & Circles Only πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘πŸ‘­πŸ‘¬πŸ‘«

Similar Worlds has now added the ability for users to create
Private (Circle/Friends Only) Posts!

Steps:

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:

Visible to: πŸ”˜ Everyone | πŸ”˜ Circle/Friends



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

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

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!
-SW Staff

Hi everyone,
Just want to give an update on how this new Privacy Setting is doing.
As far as we can see, we've had an increase on the number of daily posts on Similar Worlds, and part of the difference being related to the Private Posts. The average number of daily Public Posts hasn't changed.
People seem to be posting more, now that Private Posts is an option.

(Private Posts were introduced on the 26th March)

@Nuno So you're saying we're seeing MORE posts as opposed to less.

@Nuno Maybe people were just testing it out

@TurtlePink Does it really seem like so? You can see the yellow bar (Private Posts). It eventually drops a bit after the big hype (but still a good amount per day), while the Total Posts (gray bar) stays up. The average number of daily Public Posts hasn't changed (unlike what some negative users keep saying).

@Nuno Thanks for the update. Hopefully less people will complain now.
@Nuno excellent data ... like myself, folks are feeling themselves into how and when the feature works for them.

I do see use of the feature right after a bad experience with another member. Forming a version of protection till the disturbing member tires.

I am using it to publish my better posts ... providing the info to a trusted audience.

Thanks again

@Nuno What's the scale on the y axis? πŸ€“ In other words how much shit posting happens daily πŸ€”
marsbar Β· F
@DeluxedEdition I noticed them shortly after the feature was announced, a negative perspective as opposed to positive.

@marsbar that is always what happens whenever they try something new. people tend to not like change πŸ˜€
@marsbar People here don't give the SW staff enough credit and complain at every change lol.
marsbar Β· F
@DeluxedEdition @SinlessOnslaught I agree with you both.

@faithfulhusband Excellent observation, I applaud your analytical skills 🧐
@Nuno Nuno, are you a white man? ,_,

I just wanna know if you're a white man .-.
I'm curious
TurtlePink Β· 22-25, F
@TheBlackPowerRanger delete your comment, now 🀣
@TurtlePink is it illegal now to ask a man if he's a white man? ,_,

Don't be silly v.v

@Nuno It's not made a difference tbh. People are still stirring shit about me with others that have had me blocked and didn't know existed.

@TheBlackPowerRanger it’s just awkward πŸ₯Ί but if you insist, live your best life
