I've noticed a huge spike in suicidal posts recently that are using "KMS" and "Unalive myself" to dodge the "Sensitive" tag - could we tighten up on that for those of us who aren't in a strong enough headspace to deal with that sort of thing.

I just want for them to be appropriately marked instead of "Mildly Adult".

@HootyTheNightOwl yup I wish we could have separate the feeds by mood tags like the vent app it’s tiring to see those posts
@SW-User I don't mind so much when they are in the "Suicidal" group - at least there I can decide for myself if I'm strong enough to deal with it or keep scrolling... but the ones in vent are getting a bit too much and I'm close to blocking vent entirely for the sheer number of them that are posted there, and thus in my feed.

It's not like we don't have a proper board for suicide talk where I can choose whether to try and help them or keep scrolling because I am struggling myself right now.
Could we get an update of the emoji system? I can't find 🥲 (Smiling Face with Tear) in the selection menu for example. It is converted to an image when inserted from my phone keyboard or copied from the web, so it seems the replacement code is out of sync with the selection menu, unless I'm overlooking it in there. And that brings me to another suggestion: is it possible to implement a search function into the emoji selection menu?
Perhaps a less impactful addition: people tend to interpret emojis in different ways, but their usage is fairly well defined on https://emojipedia.org for example. You could be a trendsetter by including that somehow. (If this suggestion is too much but you would consider a search function, the descriptive names on that website alone are surely helpful for that.)

The implementation is a bit difficult with so many devices able to access SW. A mouse-over/tooltip would be a good way on computers, but that's not supported by phones. There it could be replaced by a click/tap event in posts, but that's already used for insertion in the selection menu and I wouldn't be in favor of replacing that with a popup showing the description and button requiring an additional click to actually insert it. Showing the description in posts on all devices and only on computers in the selection menu would still be a huge step up from literally every other platform though.

Make sharing approved content more convient for users to other social media networks.

Incorporate a live feature like BIGO, so users can exchange gifts for money.

This will serve as another passive income opportunity for SW users but also gain more users of the platform.

Key is making sharing content more convenient 😉

**fyi this is a golden nugget from a golden mountain… it’s because I actually enjoy this platform.***💯

Question about future moderation options. Yes I know they are not available yet. Just thinking about certain possible circumstances.

If either you as moderator or any user have blocked the other and there was a hate post in the moderators group, how could you as moderator even see such a post?

This has potential for a huge amount of drama.

Noticed that I could post in someone else's group, who has blocked me. Not that I would. Yet others are very much revenge oriented.

@NerdyPotato there are already so many groups that no one would know that a person is a moderator. It wouldn't have to even have tags or images. Just being contradictory to the group named topic could considered revenge.

No easy way to know who moderates which group. Yet a revengeful person would know which groups they hate moderate. Sort of like a stalker
@DeWayfarer you don't need to know who owns the group in order to use the report button, so this is a different point. But I think both marking the moderator and not marking the moderator of a group could lead to drama so that's an interesting dilemma.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@NerdyPotato exactly.

Another option is to let moderator see all posts in their own groups and give just them the ability to block anyone from a group they moderate separate from the normal block. Perhaps under the "manage" button.

I've always wished we could design our profiles on here with colors, etc. It would add more interest on here, having our own unique profiles. Adding fonts or symbols to our usernames like other sites allow would be fun too.

Newer emojis are still not supported like these:

@SW-User We've just upgraded our Emoji with the new emojis from 2021 and 2022 (Emoji 14 and Emoji 15), and we added a Search Bar too.

Make rumble videos just as easy to post as youtube.
Umm... I'm unable to unblock people...


I'm trying to unblock some minors that slipped through the age restrictions because I reported them and they should be automatically restricted as the site is designed to do.

Now I want to take back my blocks to use them another day.

I've complained enough.

Seriously, if I do have a worthwhile suggestion, I will offer it.

It's fine that uploaded images resize to a smaller version, but please also include the ability to see them at the original size as well.

Great idea thanks 👍🏻😀
