I find I have to go to ridiculous efforts to see the content I want, I just want a stream that's in real time chronological order, you'd think with all the wanky options for your stream they could at least have included an algorithm free option, seeing friends and others posts hours or even days after they've been posted is of no use to me and is what is largely killing it for me.
I come here for interaction but having to hit up individual profiles in order to see the most recent content people have posted is shite.

@SW-User What the fuck! I've not seen him either!
They really have screwed the place up, I'm sure they didn't mean to but they have.

@AntisocialTroll they've done a sw kinda face lift.. They messed their face up, no matter how hard they try to they can't get it back to how it was
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@SW-User 😂 And another thing! I've had to mute countless ANR peeps, WTF is this algorithms purpose? It only seems to block the content I want to see and doesn't seem to "learn" what I don't want to see. It's fucking the place up!

Well, it doesn't feel like home.
But I'm on a lot of other social media and there's only one other site where I manage to stay logged in longer than a minute.
With SW, i find myself refreshing the home feed constantly, yet there's nothing new.
I click on Medium, Top, New, Images... and I hardly find any posts that I'd be interested in commenting on, let alone hearting.
Sometimes I don't even feel like logging in, because I can't see half of the new posts due to the algorithms.
So I just click on Posts without logging in and scroll through. If I see something that catches my attention, then I log in.
Currently the Recent Posts on my home feed are from 16m, 34m, 1h, 1h, 2h, 2h, 3h, 5h, 5h... and so on.
Logged out, I see Posts are 4m, 8m, 16m, 34m, 59m, 1h, 1h, 1h, 1h, 1h, 2h, 2h, 2h, 2h, 2h, 3h, 3h, 3h, 4h, 4h... (Bold indicates posts that aren't visible on my Home feed.)
That's like half the normal posts that are missing from my Recent Posts.
Keep in mind that when logged out, Mildly Adult and Adult posts are not displayed to the visitor. If those were shown, it'd probably be 75% or 80% of posts not being displayed on my Recent Posts when I log in.

@rrraksamam So if we click on "customize feed" then at the bottom if we want more timely posts then put the marker all the way to the left. I have it a little to the left of the middle (less relevant and more timely)

@rrraksamam Maybe change the last one. I have and it did make a difference.

@NerdyPotato That can be changed.

Another sad thing about this forum is that no matter who posts them, the threads that DO get a ton of responses are the ones where people express concerns about this forum. Things about cliques, being blocked, the latest "upgrade" or whatever wrong doing happened.
That or sensitive political or religious matters.
But on the other hand, what can really be done? Tell people to play nice? Bug the admins about stuff?

deadgerbil · 26-30, M
I feel the same as I always have and have no issues interacting
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
I feel the same, but I know that while the interaction has died down significantly due to the “improvements” that have been made to the site, it’s also partly due to me just not feeling the vibe here enough to interact much anymore. And the more I drift from here and turn my attention elsewhere gaining all kinds of feel good vibes, the less draw this place has for me. So, it’s cool what SW used to be for me. But sadly I don’t see it ever being up there on the rad charts again.

SW-User
It’s a dead man walking

@SW-User unfortunately this is true

Too much of a headache..... honestly brings the worst out in me, and I just wanted to show pictures of a fish I caught and pictures of my dogs.
HoochieTheClown · 51-55, F
It's weird because regardless of a lot of things, it just seems like only a select few get much attention. Even some people on here who seem really cool or have been here a while don't get a lot of it.
It doesn't have too much to do with age, gender, location, looks, what they post about, etc. People claim "algorithm" but this has been going on since before the admins bequeefed certain changes on here. Although we notice it is the most controversial men and also the best looking women who are on the receiving end of the attention spectrum. But not all the arguers nor the lookers are in that group even.
Plus some people seem nice but then want to block others for apparently no reason so it feels like a waste trying to get to know people.
I been on a few forums in my time and must say this is the only one where it matters who is who. Most of them out there are based on the conversations at hand rather than who is posting.
So yeah there we have it.

SW-User
@HoochieTheClown yes, we used to converse more on ep, and I am just not feeling it here, maybe its just me being a bit weird or something
The site is okay, but the community is at a low. That has always been changing constantly with people leaving and others joining, and it may pick up again, but I miss more and more people who left or have been considerably less active and I don't really click with any recent new members.
@HoochieTheClown I don't know about that last part, but seeing one side of more and more conversations is definitely annoying.
HoochieTheClown · 51-55, F
@NerdyPotato My last part is kind of speculation.
But yeah that is why I do not understand why some people block so much. I seldom use that feature. It's like that book analogy - if it is ALREADY missing pages, why tear out even more? Soon it wouldn't be worth even trying to read.
All this on top of the admin's algorithm which further limits what one sees.
It makes you wonder how much is on here vs how much we ever see.

AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@NerdyPotato @HoochieTheClown I'm not talking about people who've blocked me! I mean people I've interacted with both via PM and the main stream but who aren't in my friends list.
I have tried the logging out to find content and then logging in to answer stuff and you're right it's far too much faff but it's helluva interesting to be able to see just what or who is being screened out of your main stream for no good reason, people I thought had left are in fact here and posting, I've found new users I would likely never have seen if I hadn't logged out, it is quite bizarre.

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M
I been feeling cold lately like I don't even want to interact with the posts I see.

SW-User
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I feel the same way tbh
@SW-User yeah, I notice myself simply skipping a lot more posts by friends too. Or just reacting without commenting, which makes them disappear from the feed and does not generate notifications, so it's a one time view and they disappear forever.
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
Why? Is it just interacting with new users? Or just others? I think the two of us interact pretty ok.

SW-User
@Longpatrol I have put it to all users, time based, I think it looks better
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
@SW-User Cool maybe not a perfect solution but unless SW reverts to the way we know and love its probably the best you're gonna get :(

SW-User
@Longpatrol yes, it is unfortunately
Alison · 22-25, F
Its more limited than it used to be.
Like you only seem to interact with the same users all the time🤷♀️.
And new users are more ignored than ever, my feed is full of them and i cbf. Im not alone
Like me and you are semi involved, how often do we see each other?

I love it. I write about what I want to write about, how amazing God is, and I try to encourage the Christian community the best I can. The world is not doing good because they don't read the Bible, so why not try to encourage those who are sad or depressed? I have friends here I like to check in with too.

Adogslife · 61-69, M
It’s less fun now as the site gets younger. People are generally friendly but a lot of my good friends have left the site, so my own interactions are pretty trivial.

BeJeweled · 61-69, F
I'm not on here as much as I was when I first joined. I joined for long lasting friendships but the majority of friends I meet just want it to be sexual. So I only come on here for about 5 minutes then leave. I enjoy my real life much more. Its very boring on here unless someone comes up with an interesting question.
It seems a lot smaller than it ever did

SW-User
@TheDeathOCuHullainn omg, yes, I see the same few people, sometimes my pots don't get responses for ages, I don't see posts from my friends, it's all a bit weird

SW-User
A bit up and down. There are fewer people I interact with.

SW sucks - Just like 90% of socìal media.
It's not about interaction, it's about distraction. Because drugs are expensive and thinking hurts.
I hope that didn't help.
You're welcome ✌️

PM is kinda meh
I interact quite well on here. But I find women and girls are too cautious to men. Maybe they are right to be so
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I'm okay with it. The feed is annoying but I still can find something interesting. One thing that really annoys me though is the abundance of vapid sexual posts probably satisfying needs of lesbians and heterosexual men, if you know what I mean. I really don't need to accidently read about cum dripping out of someone's fanny... 🤢🤮 Or a nobhead asking for five thousandth time on tenth account what does female orgasm feel like. I don't consider myself prude but it's been way too much of it lately and that's really not content I can appreciate.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@SW-User I'm afraid it's not only one person. It looks like type of people who just come here to shitpost and vent pent up sexual energy. Like...most of us been there and post sexual content now and then but now I feel like there's hardly anything else showing up. I open SW and the direct feed is full of posts from people I have in my friend list and 80% of recent activity is someone answering these idiotic questions that might be even 2 years old or posting nudes of random women they found on the internet, the rest 20% are always the same people having quarrels about politics.

SW-User
@CrazyMusicLover I really dislike seeing posts from years ago, I really think there's no point in replying
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@SW-User I don't mind them if they are relevant. I actually hit the search bar and try to find something interesting relevant to me no matter how old because there's absolutely no chance to catch these things in the feed normally. This way I realized how many things I miss and not because I haden't been here or what, it's because the feed is constantly cluttered with stuff from people in my friend's list or someone I interacted with recently.
Ontheroad · M
I'm sort of the same - it's a crap shoot on what you'll see in the feed and that's frustrating. I do have some marked as favorites and that seems to help in seeing their posts, but whatever algorithm they use needs to give us a chronological feed and let us block or mute those we don't want to see.

SW-User
@Ontheroad I have not made any favourites, maybe this will help
Ontheroad · M
@SW-User it helps, but even then it's random... a chronological feed with the umlimited ability to mute or totally block would be the best.

SW-User
@Ontheroad totally... We just aren't allowed to have what we want though..
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I just see the same people and when I see other posts it’s through comments and it’s usually people commenting on nudity so I mute them.
I want to see more people.

same. the feed is a mess and the clickbait is getting worse. not sure why i bother with this website anymore 🤷♂️

SW-User
@tenente I understand completely, I don't regularly see old friends like you, I have to find their profiles to see their posts, I'm seeing the same 12-20 people online or commenting or posting all the time. I reply to others posts and I get no response or notification, maybe months later I see that they actually did respond and I somehow missed it, even though I checked my notifications each time I sign in.
I think I'm coming here out of sheer habit, probably one that needs to be broken.
