For those who were on EP: How have your posting and commenting habits changed from what they were on EP?
On EP, the default setting showed posts from friends, experience groups we had joined, and the Question of the Day. The only questions that showed up were questions from friends. We could always opt to see all the questions or all the stories being posted, or if we wanted to check out questions on a particular topic, we could do that too.
But on SW, we can either see all the posts (unless we’ve opted out of viewing adult material), or we can see posts from only friends (which is a bit too narrow for me), or we can see all the posts from our friends, all our experience groups, and all the question topic groups that we've posted questions in as well (unless we choose to view only stories, which would mean we would see no questions). I usually choose this last setting, as it seems to be the most reasonable middle ground available, but I still end up having to wade through, or scroll past, all kinds of inane posts.
On EP, I responded to almost all the posts that showed up in my feed on the default setting, because they were almost always posts that interested me. But on SW, I find that I’m much more picky about which posts I respond to. It’s frustrating sometimes to have to look through so much crap before finally finding something worth looking at. But I keep at it, a little bit each day.
If my posting habits have changed, it’s because there are different things going on in my life now, and the stuff that I had posted about on EP is now old news. Also, the last presidential election got a lot of people (including me) talking about politics, which, believe it or not, I usually don’t talk about too much.
So how have your posting and commenting habits changed, and why?
