One thing I’ve learned about SW is you cannot tell what someone is like based on the content of their profile

While there is an issue, really, with how Facebook has an algorithm that connects like-minded people (and articles, etc - framing this is how the world is), people are true oddities, and have attachments (emotionally) to things they only know and when there is little filter it becomes?

@SW-User What are you trying to say?
SW-User
@SW-User I figured you might ask :) There might be something about leaving people alone, unfiltered without nudges connect with this person, on an online only thing without what would be found in the real world where people have to read body language too
SW-User
@SW-User Ah right. Body language comes in handy a lot in communication but it’s useless on here lol
SW-User
@SW-User Bingo. Im actually having an interesting conversation about the internet and relationships elsewhere here, but there was a time I was way more open (I was younger, yes) but here often feels like a game of words to me.
SW-User
@SW-User What makes you less open now?
SW-User
@SW-User Maybe it's my age; it's a possibility. I at one time felt people expressed more freely at one time without as much pretence, where now it feels, often, are looking to out with your words and chalk something about you to an imagined vision they have in idea.

Politics of now would actually suggest this as possible.

@SW-User I know what you mean but maybe if you worried less about what people think of you, you’d find yourself more expressive in opinion?
SW-User
@SW-User Yes, but when I do that I find myself in trouble from someone I don't want trouble with :)
SW-User
@SW-User And you don't know how much I hate drama; yet get taken by it. Something I have to work on, yes ~ but doesn't mean I can't find a societal element too
SW-User
@SW-User Lol The trouble lies within them, not you
SW-User
@SW-User Lol Nobody likes it
