What's the main reason you use SW?
Is it to make friends, get advice, rant/spill your guts?
Why this platform over other social media?

To my mind it's the best Q&A anywhere online.
Younger folk post their gripes and troubles and us old'uns smile or grimace and think...yep. been there done that...Here's what you need to do...
Meanwhile us 'middle-agers' are trying to navigate dying careers or mid-life crises along family or relationship lines and it's wonderful the folk you chat to who 'get where you're coming from' and either advise or commiserate.As well as the odd one or two who enjoy being judgemental about whom we'll say nothing.
I have no idea what it's like to be gay or transgendered or female or disabled or 'non-white' or orphaned or.....a billion other things. But I'm constantly amazed when my tentative (hopefully)polite question or inquiry is met by willing enthusiasm to explain to this old boy. And that enlightens me. EVERYDAY !
