Are there any psychologists or psychiatrists on here?
If so what are your thoughts on people that come here, why this site out of all others, why are you on here? Just curious :)

@IntrepidGirl
The best evidence I can give is found that the bottom of this link:
https://similarworlds.com/help/57-You-reached-the-limit-of-X-you-can-Y-for-now
Reputation is key in everything.
Yet even in this sites predecessor, EP, was known in their mission statement as being "a social experiment".

@IntrepidGirl you are limited from day one!
This is used to determine how you fit.
Is your behavior socially fitting? Then you're a good pavlovian dog. And will get justly rewarded. 🙃😊
Arguing with the admin will conversely severely punish you BTW! 🤣
Your reputation score will drop dramatically.
Right or wrong is determined on how much and where you argue.

@IntrepidGirl it's their site. Many have complained about it. Not much anyone can do about it.
Heck "X" is no different. 🤷🏻♂️
Once Elon Musk bought it he fired half the staff to change it his way.
No different.

@IntrepidGirl Question: How would you change any site so there is less social confrontation?
Please bear in mind many on this site have very strong opinions. And their opinions are unwavering. In other words, the arguments will never stop. So the algorithm hinders argumenting.
Keep this in mind as well when you see your own feed doesn't have many new posts. The site is protecting you from an endless argumenting.
Arguing in general lowers your reputation which lowers the number of people you see in your feed.
Noticed below you asked about what type of people are on this site. The majority are social introverts. Yet that means they often hold strong opinions of their own. They tend to think things on their own.
That doesn't mean they are right or wrong. Just that they don't follow others very well.
Being a social introvert doesn't mean they don't have strong opinions. Quite the opposite really. To be a introvert you spend a lot of time thinking on a number of things. And little time talking or listening to those around you in real life.
Other social media has popularity as their goal. That is very difficult to do on this site. That is extrovert behavior. And brings about other consequences. Like scandals which is quite popular in today's limiting social media.
The social followers on other sites, for the most part, have few opinions of their own. They are neither extroverts nor introverts. They follow the extroverts, which generally are the minority.
And the extroverts are always wanting extra attention from their followers.
It's this attention seeking is why the extroverts do not do very well on this site. The site algorithm actually limits their number of posts. Yes there is a maximum post limit. The algorithm will slow your posting down. As well lowering your "site" reputation if you post too much.
See this link again about that...

@DeWayfarer I think having norms around discussion that are enforced is good, this could encourage healthy debates where people are open to genuinely and charitably considering the other side. I think there's a way for similar worlds to this, simply by promoting users that are open minded in how they talk and produce engaging posts.

@IntrepidGirl yet it limits the extroverts.
I just made a post about that a few minutes ago.
I got one that believes they are an extrovert. Which is probably borderline extrovert.
