What does this mean?

So I was going through the list of those I am following, and I see this:

It's got the 'X', meaning "away from SW for now" but the name is gone and isn't clickable (others ARE).

So is this REALLY the same as "no longer a member" (the "Not" sign)??

@SomeMichGuy Right?! And sometimes I'll not see someone in awhile & think I've been blocked 😔

@Tumbleweed Well, I'm sure you WERE... 😉🤣

But yes, who ARE these people? I wonder if they are in a countdown until they are fully nixed ("NOT" symbol), or if their name, not being used, was picked up by some other user...?

I seem to remember "SW User" indicates the person is not returning, at least not under whatever username that used to be.

@GrinNude Thanks!

But this is what I'm seeing about a profile of someone I follow.

I'm not sure how to interpret the 'X' with a name which is gone / can't be clicked on...?

This seems like an equivale to the "Not" symbol...

?

It means they’ve left SW

@Bleed The 'X' is supposed to be

This user is taking a break from SimilarWorlds.

The "Not" symbol is supposed to be

This user is no longer a member of SimilarWorlds.

In THIS case, it seems to me that

• no "last user name",
• no "last user profile pic", and
• the 'X'

is just exactly the same as

• the "Not" sign...

I guess the question is: can the user ever come back and refresh that data with a new user name and a new profile pic?
