What's something you don't like about SW?

Someone calling me her favourite friend has me blocked. I just noticed it. Lol. No reason, no warning.
I've never had such shit going on in any other area of my life.

I think it was a big mistake to toss the longer form stories into the Qna feed where most just want a meme or something simple.
People here are much less likely to contact you or have a desire to know you..not SWs fault butt its true

As for the block thing most that have blocked me are the chaff,not the wheat..a woman demanding to know where her Christmas "prezzie was";I do all my gifted on one day. I only have about 20 blocks so she merely prevented me from upping that number by one...I don't need shallow phonies,frankly

@bookerdana Yeah it looks messy to navigate.

I have no problem with the block, its the additional extra verbiage of besties and what not that had me mindfucked for a moment. 🤣

@SW-User It's not navigation so much as on the QnA people don't want to have to read anything more than a half paragraph,I haven't written a real story in aeons and even then someone commented TL,DR...can you give me the Readers Digest condensed version😶

That particular instance of blocking was weird,particularly since there had been no falling out.Maybe you were a victim of malicious gossip?

@bookerdana For me navigation is messy mostly because I am still getting used to it. And the TL; DR seems to be what people are infected with now. Everything needs to be condensed and hold someones interest in 2 seconds flat, lol. They've already moved on to the next thing while doing a current thing. Always on a look out for a quickie distraction. And I don't think that is going to really change any time soon.

Maybe and I will just let it lie now. I am not getting into any such nonsense again. 🤣

@SW-User There are some who are looking for more on SW,its almost abusive to funnel a story into the roiling water of the Qna.
As for the latter,good choice👍

@bookerdana Totally agree! I hate that there is no separation now. It feels like one big messy school playground full of a lot of gunk. It was detrimental for good quality stories and poems. @Andrew said he may have a fix for it. Hopefully soon!

So very true. And I find that sad yet pathetic all at the same time.

@Magenta That it is. In a world where isolation and depression are very rife, people seem to be enabling it further by their ways.
