Having never been on the previous network, your experience on here is likely to be much different, then. I'll admit, I'll probably have a few things I won't like about Similar Worlds because I'll compare it to its predecessor too much -

One thing I do miss though is Billy Madison, and how easy it was to have like 100 different Teirdalin accounts.
I really enjoy it.

I'm a grumpy cat but don't really like it so far. It's lot smaller, from what I can see mostly same faces have been talking here for months continuing and forming cliques from EP. I've been here couple weeks, and I'm already getting hate-mail, people I've never talked with who have me blocked, and the Spanish Inquisition who will have your head for asking about features, lol. A LOT more sexual talk for the sake of talking, no responses to deep questions with thoughtful responses usually going unacknowledged, and few if any actual experience stories. However, of course as usual, you experience will depend largely on what you're looking for, and let's face it, the old EP (including the ones before the end) is gone.

Well to each their own I'd say, I also forgot to add it's new so let's give them time. But frankly, if the userbase grows, the problems will also multiply by at least as much, part of it is natural evolution of any online community, and I see no evidence of intentionally directing that evolution. Main thing is it's the only EP-like site right now, though with the apparent preference to one-liners, I'll have to think how it's different from a more adult-content oriented Twitter on technical front.

Yeah, I'm sure things will improve with enough time (I hope). Based on what another person mentioned on here, the developers have taken initiative to prevent creeps and weirdos from creeping on people that don't want that kind of attention. Efforts to prevent harassment and spam seem to be a positive change -
Faust76 · 46-50, M
You could just block people, or simply not read/respond, so I don't see how that's a real change. Besides of which, women are constantly posting images of their mailbox with hundreds of unread messages. So yeah, about that... Being able to kinda choose when you see pictures is nice though, but it's not a make or break, and I wish they had the fuzzy view as option for posts too. But not much point talking on this, just try it out for yourself and see if it's to your liking, and try to change things if it's not.

@Naeramarth: Measures in place to keep the harassing down. You can only be messaged twice without responding back and they can not message you again. The unwanted pics come in blurred. You can stop notifications on posts individually instead of either receive them or not at all. No resident troll that make fake accounts to look like others.

@curiosi: That's good they moderate harassment. We don't need that kind of negativity here. The anti-spam element for PMs is a really good idea. Why haven't other people done that before?? It'd save people a lot of trouble. It seems they really took the effort to silence the creeps and weirdos out there looking to prey on people. They removed all the troll / fake profiles?? That's excellent if they really did -

@Naeramarth: I often wondered when on ep if they just stopped caring.

What do you think is better about this than EP??
JoserJekter · 26-30
Somewhat the same.

I like it here more.

The moderators actually do their job here and the block button actually works.
Naeramarth · 26-30, M
I just like the font color. My ep friends are not here.
Naeramarth · 26-30, M
Hey, at least you're being honest. Not having old friends on here is a bit disheartening, though -

This place is better than EP but I miss the app and vibe in general lol
