OMG! This site just seems such a mess!

No rhyme or reason to the things I am getting in my feed and I feel like Alice in Wonderland!

Years ago, you could burn hours of spare time with new posts. Yeah, there was alot of garbage you had to sort thru but at least there was ‘fresh blood’ to look at.

Now…you dont get to see the newbies posts…(or maybe there just isnt any newbies posting).

I wish they @Nuno would just have an ‘unfucked feed’ button….where EVERY post displayed.

I love the folks in my circle of friends…(thats why they are there) but I can’t depend on them to keep me interested in this site.

We need diversity.
@Carissimi Yes, you're right. People these days are more wounded by the system, and less trustworthy as a result. Seems everyone is looking for pain relief in some form. (AKA, addictions) So many, in the process of trying to purge the effects of their own damage, just don't see how damaging their expressions and purging can be to others. I admit, I wasn't exempt from falling into that trap for a while, myself. I thank God that's been turned around. I'm fortunate to have found a wonderful therapist.

It’s the culture. @PhoenixPhail
@LunarOrbit Yes, crude, but Unfuck the Feed. That's what I desire too. @Nuno: Do you care what members here even say? What we want? Is it all about you and money? You tell us. Do you want this site to live or to die?

Hello,

We have adjusted the Feed for improved relevance.

Posts you have seen in the feed already will begin to fall out of the feed, so that you can see other new posts in place.

Regards

Wish they would put it back the way it used to be
SW-User
@Miklee02 Yep. When I joined the first time, it wasn't too bad but not long into being here on first account... they started changing a lot of things.
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
@SW-User it is frustrating 😑
SW-User
@Miklee02 Frustrating, aggravating and a waste of my time with a lot of what is coming in.
Peapod · 61-69, F
It's definitely wonky.

I wish they never changed things with how we all got our feed.
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
I take longer and longer breaks from this site. It used to be fun. But over the last two years I find all the cool people have given up on posting or taking longer and longer breaks. I barley see any feed and if I do it’s days old like this post. 🤷‍♀️ I guess it’s time to take a break again 🤔
SW-User
@Fluffybull Sometimes, simple topics bring out the ones who have to turn everything into adult/sexual content.
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
@Fluffybull I have to admit I am guilty of that!
Fluffybull · F
@FoolishLuna Don't feel guilty, it just saves time deleting nasty posts and blocking people 😉. The haters are the ones that should feel guilty.

It is messed up, has been for a long time, i didnt even get this post in my main feed...i saw it on the side bar
SW-User
@Tminus6453 I think you won't see my posts in the main feed because we aren't added as friends and I am not a chosen favorite. That's how I see it.
Fluffybull · F
Agree! I'm getting posts from people who are not friends or followers and there aren't any comments from any of my friends! I don't know why I'm seeing some of this rubbish! But I'm also not seeing some posts by friends 🙄
SW-User
@Fluffybull And that's a big part of the issue. Things just aren't adding up.
Nuno · Admin
@Fluffybull posts from people who are not friends or followers

I recommend you increase the "Relevant Content" slider in the "Customize Feed" button, to the maximum ("More"), if you want a Friends-only feed.

I went about 6 hours this morning watching a 17 hour old post get older because there was nothing new in my home feed.
If it's anything like Pinterest you see in your feed more of what you click on and less of what you don't.
SW-User
@Spoiledbrat I just get some really odd things.
It's not the site, it's just some people. Okay, a LOT of people.
It's been a mess for me, too. But it's worth it to talk with the nicer folks.

I hope you happen upon some feeds you enjoy. 😊
@SW-User Like, what KIND of stuff. Can you give me an example?
SW-User
@PhoenixPhail Sometimes, someone claiming to be a teen boy and posts about being bare chested and another supposed teen boy... I get the idea these two are aiming at being gay, but it's just really "off".
Other times, way too much adult content crap. And it's nothing to do with how I set my stuff... just odd things come around and then gone, but those teens pop up once in a while.
@SW-User Yeah, I get it.

I've set my privacy settings set to
☑️ Block Friend Requests and Messages from people under 18.
☑️ Block ALL content and contact from people under 18.

But sometimes they still seem to come through, anyway.
If minors join SW saying they're 18-21, I don't know that there's a way for SW to know their true age. So, they're allowed to talk with the adults.

In my wanting and needing to not receive threads from minors posing as adults, if I have even a suspicion they're not minors, I just won't respond.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
Oh yeah, it has devolved significantly over the past couple of years.
Ontheroad · M
I just realized my response might have read like it was directed at you. It wasn't!
GermanAf · 26-30, M
I for one enjoy the randomly assembled feed that shows me nothing i like.
Riverman2 · 56-60, M
Probably hooked up to Dominion.
Lilnonames · F
@Riverman2 iobix
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Seems that way because it it🤷‍♂️
It's been ruined
LandOfOz · 61-69, M
A lot of sites are just unnecessarily complicated. Trying to figure out how it all works maybe ok for who designed it but not for the user
Pfuzylogic · M
i use all 3 profiles to see my normal feed. If not i would have totally missed some posts of people i haven’t even blocked!
SW-User
Cup of tea 🫖 ?
SW-User
@SW-User I should have known.... running away now!
SW-User
You can run but you can’t hide 🫣. Lol @SW-User
SW-User
@SW-User BOO!
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
Have you customised it to see any difference ?
SW-User
@scorpiolovedeep from what others are saying here, I don't think customizing is a big help.
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
Oh well , not much of help from me then.


@SW-User
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Oh gosh I'll have to see what I've missed🤭
It seems to be cyclical...full moon?
SW-User
@Mamapolo2016 I don't know... just really "off" topics and people I'd not normally see!
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Don`t bite the mushroom!
SW-User
@Degbeme Thank you for the tip. I will avoid the mushroom!
Jeephikelove · 51-55, F
Right!? Lots of old posts coming up
Zonuss · 41-45, M
Don't worry. You'll get used to the mess. I have. ☺️
SW-User
@Zonuss I'm not sure I want to get use to a lot of what they feed me.
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
Yah and it's only Tuesday. Imagine what it will be like on Friday
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
It’s terrible since these new updates
Lilnonames · F
Yup it's getting worse daily

@RogueLoner I have no clue what's new or old... I don't even have a clue why I get what I get anymore.

@RogueLoner I've noticed things like that in my feed that I don't even wish to see.
