The share thing is why I'm going to leave

@SW-User *gulp*...the "share" thing???
SW-User
@Pretzel yes, we can now share posts directly to twitter, WhatsApp or whatever... I used to like the fact that the site was more low key, I don't want my stuff shared without my knowledge
SW-User
@SW-User I genuinely don’t understand why someone would share a similar worlds post on Facebook or elsewhere…it makes no sense to me
SW-User
@SW-User but they can now, and they might and how would you know
SW-User
@SW-User it’s just a weird addition

@SW-User
Can they share our posts, even if we limited access on them?
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@SW-User yeah, but technically you could always do that by just copying and pasting the URL in your clipboard. This just makes with a tap of two buttons.
SW-User
@SUPERVlXEN if they’re in your circle and can access the post then I’d imagine they can
SW-User
@basilfawlty89 I know that, it's just more obvious now
SW-User
@SW-User it's really weird

I'm using this setting on all my posts (sounds like more posts than it is in reality, lol).

@SW-User
I noticed that on my own post, but I'm not aware if that option only shows up for me, or also random users.
SW-User
@SUPERVlXEN I just looked on your profile and all of your posts have the share button- whether or not those outside of sw without accounts would be able to follow the link or not

@SW-User WTF!!! Why do they keep doing things to push us out. This is not a feature that’s needed or wanted.
SW-User
@iamonfire696 I've deleted all of my photos, I've started on my posts, I'll just leave a blank profile..

Obviously more unnecessary and stupid updates are going to arrive also
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User I don’t blame you. This is BS. I get that it’s their website but why do they keep doing this. They better release a feature where we can have the option to not share when we make a post.

@SW-User I agree
SW-User
@iamonfire696 I agree, there ain't nothin anonymous or private about anything here now. What a stupid feature. Sure not something the users asked for
caesar7 · 61-69, M
@SW-User Does admin know about the distaste of this feature? If so, they should remove it!!!
SUPERVlXEN · F
@SW-User
Okay, there goes the posts. Thank you.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User it’s not at all but they won’t give any fucks about what we think.
SW-User
@SUPERVlXEN if you make a post private - to just your circle - the share feature is removed
SUPERVlXEN · F
@SW-User
Yes, someone made me aware of this on my standing post. I used to use the limited setting as I really don't have more than a handful people in my circle and do not plan on adding people I don't interact with in private too. It won't change anything for me, and I did delete my posts already. Thankfully I learned the lesson not to have too many posts at a time, nor pics. Thank you for the heads up though.

@SW-User and others - I tested sharing a limited post and it does work but the link just brings you to this
no title preview either. So the limited things will still be kept only on SW. Admins should really remove the share button from these posts too though for clarity hopefully they get on that
