PheebyKatz Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Peeve: I go out of my way to wait until the only other dot on the mini map is inside their home, where they got their own parcel and all, before daring to rez a prim, turn it into a musical dance floor, and dance on it, so as not to blow anyone away by blasting metal across the entire sim. I rez my prim, start to dance, and THEN a visitor shows up, runs for the quiet zone, and then leaves. -_-; I can't even sneak around and jam out by myself without scaring people. Sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Peeve: found a difference between the Forum and Social Media. "Edgy" pic posted here caused verklempt. Same pic posted on Facebook got 20 likes so far from fine upstanding church friends. The difference possibly could be the "friends" factor. Things here are public; things there are "friends only" depending on your settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I didn't report that image but I'm glad it's gone. Edited February 28 by Garnet Psaltery Added text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then from that there is main sections about the subject or thing, then sub sections and then threads. Where Social media seem more about nothing until someone puts something there. I'm not a user of any of them or anything like that. But they seem to be one big place to post rather than a lot of sections.

Not you, but Peeve: The reasons some (others) give that the Forum is "not Social Media" are pretty irrelevant. But, each to their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) @Love Zhaoying The difference I usually have noticed on social media vs forums, are that the algorithms on social media tend to be more manipulative. At least that was my experience, the suggested posts I would see would be intrusive, while on the forum it usually is just sorted by date (for me). I don't like feeling as though I am being manipulated, it just gets to me - and the way a lot of sites keep you glued to the screen is usually through topics that will induce a feeling of fear or anger, which bothers me to no end because I feel, it is counter productive to society. Buuuuuuuut! I am sure not all social media platforms are the same, and I hardly am an expert when it comes to social media. I just noticed that when I did use facebook, I would be given all sorts of posts that frustrated me, worse yet, I saw former coworkers, friends, even family change slowly by what I would consider programming. Youtube is more or less the same. In short, social media makes me feel like I don't want to live on this planet anymore After seeing what it did to people, I really grew frustrated with it.

Just that the two worlds are completely different of the Forum and your basic, everyday, vanilla, upright and uptight Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I think we need to take care not to discuss discussing the discussion. The Peeve thread is meant to "keep it light"! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good thing to push people to go to a dumpster to get their information rather then the source itself. It peeves me when I have to root through the garbage to find nuggets of truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make a "mess" and clean it up for the um.."straights" (meaning the upstanding types, not meaning "straight / non-LGBTQ+") before morning comes. Kind of like "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network.
