Anyone else noticed this with NEW users

I have noticed that NEW users are not able to see all of the users on SW when they open their account. I am not sure why they are doing this.

When my friend started a new account I could see her but she couldn’t not interact with me.

I submitted a ticket and they told me this.


I have noticed this happening again with NEW accounts. All the legacy accounts (no NEW tag) can see the NEW accounts and we can comment on the posts but NEW accounts can’t see all of us.

I found this statement in regards to an algorithm in place to restrict contact between users.

I believe that they are doing this for NEW accounts. I have asked in another ticket but I was ignored.

Once the NEW tag is lifted that restriction seems to go away.

Now click on this post and tell me if you see my reply here because I posted the same thing on this post but no one can see it.

Some other users are having the same issue too.

I just assumed the ones I couldn't contact were all minors.

@LordShadowfire Nope they are only minors if their profile picture is blurred out.

I have noticed this happening since they introduced the NEW tag.

@iamonfire696 Interesting. Also, I couldn't see your comment. You may wish to ask the admins if they've "reduced or restricted your audience", which is their euphemism for shadowbanning.

@LordShadowfire they haven’t. Look at my posts, I get lots of comments.

@DDonde reacted to that same post and it couldn’t be seen.

Go through the posts of the NEW users and you will notice that there are higher reaction and message counts that don’t add up. Also there will be people that comment that get no interaction at all.
