Do You All Gatekeep SW?

I’ve been gatekeeping the site since we were EP. I didn’t like to tell people about EP because I felt that this was the way for me to write freely on here. Having people I knew in real life on here would have inhibited me from feeling comfortable posting a lot of the stuff I had posted over the years.

Second question… I also noticed that we still have a lot of EP OGs (originals) over here (a fact that made my heart swell with joy). Is there anybody on here who isn’t from EP and if so… how did you find the site? It has never come up in any searches for me. If I hadn’t come here after EP fell I never would have known this site existed.

I only found EP because I was told about it and it’s shut down led me here. That person, and the two other people I told about this place and later joined, are the only people in my realm who know it exists.

Side note…I had to scroll through the comments to find out what gatekeeping was 🤦🏻‍♀. I’m so out of touch with the new fangled terms these days.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Usually I’m the one who never understands what people are saying nowadays and has to ask for clarification. It’s nice to see that here on SW I’m the one who has to do the explaining instead of being the one scratching my head. 😂
