Some unpleasant things i've noticed.

About this site. It's horrible in some ways.

1. I've seen new members get bashed on for no reason, accused of being another account/fishes/bots/cansoftuna etc. Leave them alone. While some might be old accounts, why assume all of them are? High school bullying nonsense.

2. Some a-hola disagreed with me on one of my posts, then blocked me, and get this .. now they are gathering their "gang", telling lies about me, spreading false rumors, and dragging my name in the mud. Another stupid high school bully nonsense.
-- The point here is, it happened to me, so i'm sure it's happening to many others. Bullying needs to stop --

3. Some people appear really nice, but they take the opportunity to talk really bad about someone else, while being really sweet to that person in their posts. Like wuttt kind of snake are you? High school childish snake.

Those are probably some of the reasons why some new members dont last here, and probably why some older members chose to leave.

Keep it up and the end result will not be good, for anyone including the bullies/snakes.

Now you may return to your daily happyness. Thanks for reading and please accept this gift.

I always feel like I'm clueless on what's going on around here, but I suppose maybe that's the best. Hate though if anyone was mean to you

The block button will be your friend

@NerdySoph your eyes need to be shielded!

@deadgerbil
And then you get the "another idiot blocked me" post. Lol
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil She's not ready for this truth yet. Give her 24 hours.
now.. we can understand and appreciate my username.. :)
gossiping biches on Ep that migrated here..

there are gangs who think the place is theirs and they choose whos allowed..
i've only been on here for a year but what i first noticed was how many nut bars are on here. and i got a lot of "you're a new account...we don't trust you" type of replies...i consider myself a good guy that just wants to have fun and meet new people,,
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@beermeplease So you were one of the targetted ones. Sorry you had to go through that.
Have a beer and forget .. we are better!

This place used to be so much more accepting. I really have to wonder what number 2 type people’s real life is like if they put so much energy into someone they had an online interaction with lol. But I guess that’s why they’re here, looking for someone to tolerate them.
You missed the "We speak English here" brigade...

They enjoy replying to every non English post they see "We speak English here".

No, there's no law that all posts have to be in English. If you don't like it and/or don't want to participate, keep scrolling.

I choose to speak Dutch and some speak in Spanish - it doesn't hurt you in any way, so, why does it have to be an issue???
@HootyTheNightOwl I ignore those and move on. You cant control those who do it, they are ignorant.
@Sojournersoul The thing is that I am fortunate enough to have friends who will step in and speak up for me... just imagine what it would be like if I didn't know English and wasn't well connected to this place.

I have no problem with blocking people now - but when I was new, I wanted everyone to be my friend...
@HootyTheNightOwl You do have plenty that will speak up and glad you do. I have learn to use it well too.
cerealguy · 26-30, M
I've seen the meanness to new users and it's messed up fr 😐

The other stuff, I believe it even though I don't see it
cerealguy · 26-30, M
@InOtterWords oy ;-;
I ain't even do nuthin

I'm epicly manly!!!
@cerealguy cute!
cerealguy · 26-30, M
@InOtterWords NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm about to push some giant rocks to establish my manliness
SW-User
Ah so you're not in with the cool girl gang of SW. They ran me through the mud a few times. You're right though, it's truly sad. I've said it before, this place has every opportunity to be an open, safe space. But humans do what they do and fuck shit up.
I've noticed the same, and it has almost always been women treating other women this way. It's also not something new, but it has become much worse than I remember it from before.
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
True , definitely agree.
All of these erode the river bed of trust and integrity.

Bullying and gossip goes a lot behind posts.


That is why I am keeping my distance and selective in my comments.
SW-User
Yep, all true. I have experienced some of this loveliness myself recently, as you probably know, lol.

I've had accusations of being this person and that person but I've only ever used one account at a time and it's always been clear that it's me. I don't have any secret alts, there's just no need. I'm a dickhead on my known accounts! 😐
SW-User
@Queendragonfly Yeah, quite possibly 😊
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@SW-User or someone who likes to be like you
SW-User
@Queendragonfly Well, I can see why they would 😏
They are bullies hiding behind a keyboard. They have their little circle and if you are not in it or with them you become a target.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
It's why I have so many people blocked. 😅 I just can't handle the drama anymore.
All that's happened to me, too. You'll earn someone's confidence after they tell you they're non-judgmental, tell them something they want to know about you, then they'll slam-dunk you and spread rumors about you. It's sickening. I'm so discrete about what I tell people about myself now.
@PhoenixPhail you seem like a nice enough person though.
@froggtongue Thank you. 😊
SW-User
There is a lot of childish crap that goes on here. I choose to ignore it usually. But there is much more than I am unaware of no doubt!
twiigss · M
Yep that was kind of my first experience. I came from Yahoo answers and I figured I would make an introductory post. I was getting lots of views and good replies and then I got someone on my post saying I'm an alt, then they are telling people not to believe me being new that I'm an alt.

So I reported them, admins shortly thereafter took care of the situation and then I blocked them. I guess honesty and trust doesn't exist anymore.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

Then there is me :D
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Degbeme Is that so? 🤨
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Degbeme Good.....Means I have to explain less 🤣
i don’t hide my snake scales,,,, they don’t believe me that i am cruel af until it’s too late.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@deathfairy It's okay, cruel with a cute pink phone in one hand .. sounds good to me :D
🥺 u dont fear me
let’s change that 😈 @NerdySoph
pride49 · 31-35, M
@deathfairy ok I love that gif. How the butterfly wand looks like the butterflies.
Like V00d00 said it's women tearing other women Down.... and it is so easy to get caught up in that .... trying to defend the people that are being harassed i have retaliated in a way that probably isn't best ....
What i have noticed is that people who come to you and slag off others or constantly post negatively about someone are usually the ones at fault.
Peeps need to live and let live.

New members..... no-one believes amyone willingly joins this site anymore and people are always wary
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@InOtterWords I understand, but like i told someone else, being wary doesnt give the right to bully.
Be wary and observe
@NerdySoph i do agree, but also everyone has a tipping point and if someone is being a bully then they should expect the retaliation
TexChik · F
Unfortunately , that occurs very often. They are trying to get past being blocked in their main account by creating an alt (NEW) account. I have seen it so many times, an so have many others .. hence the wariness
TexChik · F
@NerdySoph sorry that happened . You have proven to be very sweet and kind . Not everyone is .
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@TexChik Thank you 🫂
TexChik · F
@NerdySoph 😉
Ducky · 31-35, F
Couldn't have said it better myself. Many of the popular regulars we have here are that to a tee. I can't tell who's worse, them or the people who know damn well how shitty they are, but just keep on kissing their asses. All of them are quick to decry bullying and harassment, but then become just as quick to support it so long as it's the right person doing it.
Fairydust · F
That’s Why so many leave here.

These platforms always attract drama.
You have your clicky groups who will pick apart anything they don't agree with.

Stay awesome and ignore the idiots!
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Purplerain78 I do ignore their antics. I just feel really bad for the ones targetted and victimised. But it's fine, karma has a way of returning favors 😅

I felt the change from when it use to be more inclusive to what it is now. Like, you might not agree with someone, but then you'd leave that person alone and not interact with them. These days though, someone mistakes someone else's intent and it's nearly all out war.
Jeephikelove · 51-55, F
Well said and you’re 100% right!
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
Sad but true! But this is why I have a couple dozen people blocked…I’m just here to goof off, and people wanna piss on my lil party, I just wave my magic ward (index finger) and cast a vanishing spell (hit the block button) and all is well again 🙂
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
There are trolls and catfish and just plain miserable people. Using the block and mute buttons are a good thing for that problem. This sort of thing is common on social media. I am seeing more of it in Facebook too.
pdockal · 56-60, M
Unless you have multiple accounts how do you know what somebody who blocked you is doing and why do you care
pdockal · 56-60, M
@SUPERVlXEN

I never said i don't defend myself ... get your facts straight
Sensitive .... i don't remember interacting with you ... but if defecting myself is sensitive then i guess i am
I said once I'm blocked i don't give them a second thought
SUPERVlXEN · F
@pdockal
pdockal · 56-60, M
@SUPERVlXEN

What is that suppose to do ?
Scare me?
Shut me up?
Insult me?
Make me laugh?

Good luck
Bub bye
sben4200 · 51-55, M
I'm sorry to read that you had such a bad experience. I hope you find your people out here and that the A holes don't ruin it for you.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
I haven't heard a single bad gossip about you or me so their so called gang must be holding their meetings, in my block list
😂📃
Elessar · 26-30, M
Unrelated but I had never seen the full gif, I thought it stopped like half a second after she started looking down 😲

SW-User
you filter the fuck out of this place with 5000 VIP blocks and fine tune your feed and then it's pure gold 🤣
Teslin · M
You have to have thick skin, or be able to let things roll off your back.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
Yes... I've seen that behavior myself. Sad really. I bet the dog wouldn't play with them.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
There is a lot of bullying there that is for sure. I agree, can't we be nicer?
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I really need to know if you can make that face? 🤔
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Degbeme No i cant lol
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
Don’t get involved with people here. Most of them are loony

Never get meta on SW. It ends badly.

It is like the difference between taking out your trash and diving into the dumpster with your trash.

2.
It's mostly other women tho.

Rise above them
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@V00doo I will try to, thank you
@NerdySoph It's hard. But just know, your life is fuller than theirs.
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
no shitting me
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I am really sorry you have come across that here. We all do unfortunately but what’s different is how we handle it.

You’re doing a really good job. I haven’t been here as much because I am tired of it and I am not getting as much joy as I once did here.

I left high school a long time ago but some people just never grow past that stage.

You’re a good one @NerdySoph and I am glad you’re here.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
Your complaints are valid, but not unique to this site. This is the case on every social media site or forum.
Best course of action is ignore such people. Or block. But blocking is something I don't do myself as I think even that is giving them too much attention.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@FeetAreFantastic I have managed to avoid all forms of social media simply because my mind was not in the right place to handle anything heavy .. I thought this would be light and nice.
It is light and nice in many ways .. but yeah that darker side is there too unfortunately.
I feel the same way as you about blocking, it's why i never block :)
Sounds like You met Ms Swan and her clique.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@NerdySoph That clique viciously attacked and accused my Dearest Friend on here some time ago, headed by that one member, she's the worst troll on this site, and the admins protect her.
