Do you use SW and FB in the same way?

Myself, I am much more open and upfront here, than I am on FB. The things I can say and share here, I could never share there 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know, this place is just different for me
The anonymity here tends to lend itself to more freedom of expression. For better or worse. 😳

Same here. I rarely post on FB at all actually, and I would NEVER post half of what I post here. (my issues, therapy, fears...) Most people I know at FB are from high school, and they were acquaintances. Most were stuck up snobs too :( I post here just SO much more and can feel myself.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@Coralmist most of mine were too. One reason why I no longer use it. What's the point of me staying "connected" to people I haven't seen since HS nearly 15 years ago 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m more myself here, I’m with you definitely couldn’t say the things on FB that I say/do on here.

@Jeephikelove Same with me

I quit using FB, so SW gets all my wit and charm🙄
robertsnj · 56-60, M
I use them in complete different ways

FB : Use my full name Very conservative in what I post. Use to keep in touch from people in my past. including high school, college, ex works and ex neighbors i join groups of common interests like biking group. It is very superficial and generic. My PM's on facebook are mostly "how is your life going emails"

SW: I am anonymous and don't really have an image to protect. I can ask or respond to more sensative topics. Some of my PM's on here are like my FB PM's and some are much deeper or topics I wouldn't talk about on FB

LinkedIn : you did not put LinkedIn on here but I guess it sorta fits. Just for business. Network, make business connections and nothing else. I am friends with some of my LinkedIn connections but it was almost always that we shared an employer in the past. I send happy bday emails on LinkedIn but almost never anything else.

I have over 2000k LinkedIn connections about 450 FB and well under 100 on SW.
No. I use SW a lot. With FB, if I get a notification I might check it out. It’s been years since I posted on FB.

FB is like Mardi Gras on crack.

@Mamapolo2016 hahaha such a terrific analogy 😀
bookerdana · M
I don't use FB......so its what you see is what you get,here 😑

Can I have my cookie now??
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@bookerdana well okay, but don’t forget this is SW, not FB so…..

@ImpeccablyImperfect Tug of war challenge...accepted🤨

Lilymoon · F
The anonymity is why most people would prefer SW.
Lilymoon · F
@LordShadowfire plenty do lol
@Lilymoon That's why I said anybody with a brain. 😆
Lilymoon · F
@LordShadowfire Oh. 🤣
Musicman · 61-69, M
I have never had a Facebook account. SW is my only social media.
GunFinger · F
Differently. I'm not as open on Facebook.
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
I dont use FB
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Im only on FB to be in contact with family as we live a big distance from each other as well as my kids living away.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@ImpeccablyImperfect it drives me crazy but most of my family are on it so thats how they choose to stay in group contact.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Primnproper yes, I have some family in England who are much the same 😊🤷‍♀️
Primnproper · 56-60, F
luckranger71 · 51-55, M
Ditto. This place is crazy. But in many ways not nearly as shallow as FB. If my friends and particularly my relatives were local to me and not spread all over the world, I’d consider getting rid of FB.
Sort of. I wander away from both often but I enjoy this much more than FB. I enjoy interacting with the people here more.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@DancingStarGoddess Right? I don’t ‘interact’ on FB….its just not the same when everyone is either related to me, or we’re friends in life hahaha
@ImpeccablyImperfect Yes! That is exactly why actually!
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
I sure do. I'm a funny sarcastic ass no matter if I am here or there😒. Lately the only time I have been on FB is when I am talking to family and one of my closest friends.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I slowed sharing random on FB stuff in the way I do here/EP around 2013/2014. I slowed to rarely even visiting FB a few years ago.
jackson55 · M
Never had a Facebook acct. EP then SW are the only social accts I’ve ever had.
Thatsright · 61-69, M
I let it rip in FB, with my real name attached
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Thatsright you’re braver than I 🤣
Thatsright · 61-69, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect A lot of my neighbors are scared of me.
SJones48 · 41-45, M
No. I keep my fetishes on here and more wholesome stuff on FB
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
I don't post much here & hardly anything on FB.
jackson55 · M
I’ve never had a Facebook acct.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
It's called anonymity 😉
JustNik · 51-55, F
I only have facebook for some groups anymore and still rarely look at it. My feed turned into stuff that had nothing to do with me. I never liked how fake it felt anyway. I prefer this place, warts n all. 😂
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@JustNik yea, I hated my feed. Others peoples junk would always appear. Dumb videos, dumb memes and stuff that I didn't want to see, every time I added someone new, I'd see more things that are not positive.
There are more reasons but, yea I took myself off in January. I took only looked at groups stuff, skin, hair, home decor, events in the area etc
FB is the me the world sees. SW is somewhere I generally don't have to care what people think,
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
The only think I really go to Facebook for is to monitor two groups I started ten years ago that are very active.
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
Facebook lost its tact a long time ago.

At least on SW I feel no internal desire to censor myself.
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
I don't use any other social media but here. I agree it's much easier to be open here and I really like that.
Only use messenger. Here I share thoughts
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@BeefySenpie no need to censor your thoughts here 😊
Much better than FB, they don't censor here
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
I have an account on Facebook but never use it …
DDaverde · 56-60, M
I am more intimate with my friend on SW.
Julien · 36-40, M
I can’t handle Facebook so …
Thatsright · 61-69, M
SW is the bad part of cyber town.
I vent more here.
brian29715 · 46-50, M
I’m the same.
GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M
hell no 😶😅
Teslin · M
Yes, I absolutely agree. I am definitely more open on SW then any other social media site.
RudeBoy1977 · 51-55, M
I don't do much with FB, but that's for my G-rated life. SW is for the other stuff.
Coldplay · 56-60, M
Same as others. I'm more anonymous here. Can be more open with things.
Ducky · 31-35, F
I don’t have Facebook, so I couldn’t say. 😅
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
I’m here and not on FB for basically that reason.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Different largely
CuriousCouple25 · 51-55, CVIP
I understand
DDonde · 31-35, M
No, I use FB for family and people that know me IRL
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
No, not at all.
Azlotto · M
No...I only use FB to advertise items I have for sale.
Same here. Hell, I barely even use FB anymore. There's maybe a few people I keep in touch with there.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I am much more open here. I rarely post on Facebook
