Experience Project Blues

This post has received a Note or Correction by the SimilarWorlds staff.
Staff Note:
We understand, and can agree with your sentiment.

Experience Project displayed only (or mostly) content from Groups / Interests the user joined, in its main feed, which caused it to be a more relevant and useful community, for finding others with similar interests and experiences.

It is our wish to provide such an experience on SimilarWorlds as well, however, we receive tremendous amounts of backlash and complaints, unceasingly, for not displaying "More / All posts" made by any and every user of this site.
Basically, many here seem to demand a more Random, Irrelevant feed (at least the more vocal users).

This is non-ideal in our view, as it only perpetuates discontent by most users in the end, being often shown content that is non-interesting, non-relevant, and even offensive or inappropriate (from their perspective).

We suggest that you considering trying out the "Customize Feed" preset of "Most Relevant", to see if the feed's results and sorting become more preferable to you.
Otherwise, you can experiment with different Customize Feed settings, to tailor the content being delivered to your feed.
When I was on EP, I felt as though I was constantly surrounded by people who have had either interesting experiences or looking for similar experiences.

99% of what I have seen here makes me think that the users absolutely aren’t in a similar world to me. What on earth is going on? I’ve been blocking and muting way too much for my… what? Third day here?

I was on EP for seven years, and it’s been seven years ago now that it closed. SW is a smaller site, and of course it’s not going to be exactly like any other. I can’t help but wonder if people who still long for EP aren’t at least partially romanticizing the memory of it—it definitely had flaws, too.

@bijouxbroussard No place is without flaws but I am not "romanticizing when I say I am still in touch with many of my old EP friends because of the nature of the site;while here they use algorithms to prevent us from seeing many posts and VIP is a must..super VIP 50,000 blocks..a must

@bijouxbroussard to me the biggest flaw was by far the predators.
@bookerdana I’m not meaning that I didn’t love EP, I remained until it closed, after all, and I too found some wonderful friends, including you. But EP has been closed for a long time now, and overall I’m happy to have SW, which is why I’m still here. 😊
