Most of my friends came here from other websites that either shut down or change formats.

This is our form of Facebook without the use of Facebook.

One of my friends on here we go back to America On-line Chatroom days in the 90s

I feel more seen here.

My relatives aren't here.

It's one of the very few places on the planet I actually feel "comfortable." Which is interesting.

Some of the people here are lovely and interesting. ^•^

I can send people lil tiny cute gifts that don't cost me real moneys.

Reminds me a tiny bit of MySpace, only less awesome.

Categories.

I just do. 🤷🏾

The Peeps are what makes this site what it is..

It’s the small town of social media.
I love this place.
Idea! Look later

This is the only one I use. I was on Reddit briefly, but I bailed because the mods were a bunch of degenerates who wouldn't let anyone speak the truth.

The awesome algorithm, and the asscrack guy that must make his Mom so proud. 😉

Great pancakes!

its more interactive imo

I enjoy all the free imaginary cookies 🍪 my friends send me 💁‍♂😃

Because SW is almost as good as Sodahead and Amirite were.

SW is good because everyone knows each other but nobody knows each other's real-world identities. When everyone knows each other, there's some measure of accountability if you say something bad. That keeps interactions relatively pro-social and it cultivates interpersonal relationships. The site is too small to be botted but too big to feel dead. Also the way this is framed as essentially a therapy site encourages people to be more personable.

I enjoy exchanging views (mostly in the public forums) with people of very different perspectives on life anonymously. Most of the most unpleasant/intolerant people end up blocking me because they only want to hear their own ideas magnified. It's great when I am able to meet people on a human level and not just at the end of a visceral insult.

Some private chats are also very satisfying,

its the only one this dinosaur can figure out how it works.

Other sites are overladen with rules, here you can pretty much do your own thing, and there's a good group of folks here no matter where you fall on whatever demographic.

Smaller and more intimate community.

Right wing and conservative views aren't suppressed or removed by the admins and moderators...Reddit, YouTube, BlueSky, Substack all have this problem.

live action..
you dont get interaction on other platforms..

It's as close to EP as we have available. There is nothing like EP was. This was created for that purpose even though it's a sad replacement

I love the anonymity, I can chat to anyone about anything and it won't affect my offline life.

It seems easier to have a conversation here. Less distraction than Facebook. SW is not trying to be an 'everything' platform.

SW is more social than the rest I think.

I agree with you with all you said, and I just feel more myself here and less defensive of myself and life as to how I would be on other sites with narrower minded folks on it.

You can filter what you want I guess.


I come here when I have time.
Yes,I am selective in my interactions.

The biggest lesson from SW is to limit your time and energy to those truly matter to you and those who align with you in a similar way

Post likes,hearts, gifts do not mean anything.

Good question. Hard to put it into words. 🤗

I don’t know but I’ve never considered this social media. I’ve just thought of it as a forum with crazy people.

I too like the anonymity.

I like the anonymity here.

Because it's anonymous.
