Was there a power play here?

Did the most popular users get their way by having SW set up so they don’t see any posts they find objectionable or from people they don’t like?

Hear me out. A change was made so that when you click on home you only see posts of your friends or people you’ve interacted with in some way.

There doesn’t seem to be any way to see ALL the most recent posts from everyone. You see only a select few and many of them are hours or days old. I don’t spend a lot of time here or in private messages or seeking out “friends” so my feed is pretty limited.

For people like myself who like to chime in on posts I find interesting this format has made coming here much less desirable.

So, did complaining from the popular kids bring on this shit?

I kinda feel like i dont see all the posts too. Been going on for awhile but I know enough to guess as to why, i just assumed less people are on or posting. i keep adjusting the customize feed but doesnt do much.

I dont know if it has anything to do with popularity but the change kind of sucks. Even if I refresh, I very seldom see the variety of posts. I continue to see the same things from an hour ago no matter if I click on "new" or otherwise. I'm definitely not a fan.

@PerfectIllusion Exactly. But I prefer there be a conspiracy of some sort behind it. 🤔

I honestly think that these changes have nothing to do with people's popularity and everything to do with keeping people separate.

Too many complainers and whiners for the admins to address them all in a timely fashion.

So they started methodically putting people in timeout and forcing them to seek out each other instead of being exposed to all users on the platform.

@SumKindaMunster I think you may be right but I think the complaining and whining cane from popular people which is why they paid attention.

@StevetheSleeve Totally 1000% percent agree.

My favorite are the fakes who have multiple profiles, stir up shit, then run back to their main profile and complain that they are being harassed and the admins do nothing about it, people here are so mean wah wah wah. 👶
