So far I'm pleasantly surprised by Similar Worlds.

I've been hanging around different Q&A sites for many years, and I've had many strange experiences. A lot of them are run by some very biased people that lack integrity. They aren't nice, and they try to silence people that that disagree with them. They also don't encourage people to be themselves. I found Similar Worlds a few days ago. I was immediately ready for whatever abuse was in store for me here. I have to say though, the more I explore this platform, the more impressed I am. The people seem welcoming, and it's got a lot of cool features that I've never seen on Q&A sites before. I've never found a place online that feels peaceful before. I don't feel like I'm under constant attack here. It feels nice.

Thank you.

@Chris00987 the people around here can be nice sometimes ☺

I hope you and SW continue to get along. I think the only thing that would rile the natives here are pedophiles and perverts. 😉
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@TexChik
Well, I'm definitely not a pedophile. I was a single father for many years. I wouldn't even let anyone else babysit my son because I don't trust people. As for being a pervert, I do have a high sex drive, but I'm also respectful about it.

@Chris00987 I get that. My kids are/were home schooled. My son will be a freshman in college this fall and is taking some college courses now a the local Community College.

Did😑Andrew and Nuno pay you to say this?!

@Lostpoet
I don't really know anybody here yet. I'm just going by my first impression of the site.
Lostpoet · M
@Chris00987 Well, you seem like a nice guy. This is a pretty good social platform.
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@Lostpoet
I appreciate that. I do like that some people here show themselves and posting pictures on your profile is encouraged. I get frustrated with the sites that are just a bunch of anonymous avatars saying snarky things to each other.

That's so wonderful. I'm so glad to hear that. We do try to support people here. Of course as with any forum, you'll have different opinions and all and some may not be what is expected, but that's why we have a block button here. Haha or you can just ignore them. I am hoping that you will enjoy your stay, and welcome to SW!!!

@LadyGrace
Thanks a lot. I'm happy to be here.

We're glad you're here. We do try to help people on this site and I'm so glad you found us.

Don't worry, that euphoric feeling will wear off and the reality of thinking you keep hearing a tune in your head.... 🎶 you can check out any time you like but you can never leave 🎶 will soon replace it. ....LOL 🤣...
Welcome aboard 😁🥃

It's good that you are starting with such a positive experience. On the whole, I find if you are respectful, people are respectful back, even when we disagree strongly about things. Those that aren't have blocked me and won't read this.
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@FreddieUK
Fair enough. Thanks.
Pfuzylogic · M
You will find others with opposite opinions. There might come a time when you need to block them. This place isn’t perfect but it comes close if freely expressing your voice is important.
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@Pfuzylogic
Yes, I value being able to have an opinion. I hate being shadowbanned, attacked by moderators with 5 fake accounts, or downvoted to oblivion. I'm not the type to bother other people, so I definitely like being shown respect in return. Thanks

@Chris00987 I came from a preceding website called Experience Project. It terminated 6 months before this site opened. You will find at least a third of the people here share that experience.

As long as you follow the acceptable behavior policy on the link below, you should be okay. Yet do know the algorithm is very strict on much of it. And the consequences can be harsh if not followed.

This site is very much run by the algorithm though. So, while it may not make sense, there is sort of a consistency.
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@DeWayfarer This algorithm you speak of, does it just look for certain words and phrases, then it removes your comments?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Chris00987 Far more complex now. It's gone AI.

For more hints look at the bottom of this link below. Especially on "reputation". Yet keep in mind the admin will not address the algorithm at all...

Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@DeWayfarer That's interesting. Thanks for the information.
Block and ignore any negative behavior I do it all the time. I am okay with healthy debates but disrespect, rude, immature users will not drain my energy. I find that some users on here are unhappy with themselves
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@Souls Thanks for the advice. 🙂

I'm glad you like it here and hope you don't get hit by the disagreeable people. They are here, but they are easily muted or blocked.
Chris00987 · 46-50, MNew
@exexec
Thanks. I'm used to people disagreeing with me. I just don't like how some sites like Reddit use a bunch of shady tactics to make people invisible, just because they have a different opinion. I tried my hand at being a moderator there for a while, and it's ridiculous the amount of power the mods have. It creates a bunch of echo chambers.
