EP/SW used to feel like a non intimidating room of diverse friends.

I don't know why I've been outted but it must be good. And if it's the dumb feed, then I've just had enough. But I feel like I'm trying to be part of something where I'm not wanted anymore. There's no point in posting if nobody interacts with you. Or can, because they can't see you. I'm bored of being the outsider in a group of outsiders. I appreciate the people that do still talk to me and I really love y'all, but I think it's time to fade out. I'll check in. I'm done being disappointed if people don't care, or stop caring though.

I'm a different person and the world's a different place.

This is the vibe that began to creep in right after EP became SW. At least I sensed it, so I left for a few years. Only recently did I return to see how things are now, if I missed anything noteworthy. What I feel now is even less emotional effort being put into simple interaction, to legitimate posts, to sharing the human condition. Now, it seems to be mostly memes, selfies with silly questions attached, and copy/paste nonsense. I couldn't even reach my target vote count for a simple poem title poll to see what people would like to read.

If you go, I understand why, but there are still those who care to interact.

@NocturnalTide A lot of vapid jokes and content now.

@NocturnalTide not being able to see each other's posts defeats the point of being here, especially if all we can see is the same Pinterest quotes. Not that I mind the silly stuff, just even that gets ignored or missed most of the time. Posting something thought provoking is off the table.
