    I am in SL since 2007 , I am tired of having to roam only in a 256 m wide sim , when will we get a Decent Terrain upgrade with proper tools and Large size ?

    For large size I mean at least a 4km by 4km region with proper landscaping and texturing tools like any modern game engine has.

     

     

    I never had a full sim in sl, but...cant they group a few sims together? sim crossing is much smoother that it used to be.

    One of these days we’re gonna have to settle on E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. Might be easier to remember, if not type.

    probably those communities want to be recognized? just saying. Not  E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. is the same or have  equal experiences.

    I met a guy on here that happened to be gay and started helping him with his avatar. He didn’t need much help, but he immediately started seeking gay friendly sims.

    I tried explaining to him SL doesn’t really work that way and just about anything he searches is going to be pickup places. He didn’t believe me and soon got frustrated. I tried to explain it’s more about what your interests are and to just find friends that way, because no one really cares about things like that. He ended up leaving. I’m sure he’ll be back at some point, but it really got me thinking. People talk about improving the new user experience, but I think community building and updating those tools is equally important and never really discussed.

    The thing is SL is already LGBTQ friendly and from my experience it always has been. I think where LL dropped the ball is community building. Yes, there are groups but many  specific groups are inactive despite having hundreds of members. Group chat doesn’t work well. There are people that come here looking for a specific community... it’s here and not here, so they end up leaving.

    So, sorry for that detour! I can only really give you the same advice I gave my friend. Try to focus on your interests and you will naturally meet the kind of people you are looking for.

    10 years ago there were tons of communities. But SL has less users by the year so it is to be expected.

    Sad thing is there's a modern mindset of people being so hung up in political identity the moment you strip that away they are completely lost and assume you or that environment is x-phobic the idea of people and places that do not care what they look like or which consenting adult they love scares them because they might have to be real people hand have real interests, for a change. 

    Every time there is a republican president I am afraid I am going to lose the legitimacy of my family...so yeah...you feel lost.

    It's not that we don't care, it just isn't an issue what anyone is to a lot of people.  I rarely give a thought to what anyone's sexual orientation is in SL or RL.  I don't need allies being black.  I just need people to accept me regardless of what color my skin is.

    You don't have to. Like everything else in life, we choose our interests and pursuits.

    I don't think you understand my rats ass comment.  I simply do not care what anyone's race, sexual orientation, level of wealth, place of birth, or religion is. You are what you are and I accept that 1000%.    Your interactions with me are what I judge. Nothing more.

    This is especially true in SL where, unless you have moved to a RL relationship with an ava, anyone can be anything.  

    I'm sure you are a good person and you mean well..but if you want to be an ally you have to care lol...accepting is okay...caring is better :)

    "illiberal"    What the hell is that?   

    Just to be clear I am a conservative, and I could give a rats ass if you're gay or not and many of my conservative friends are the same way.  Some of my best friends in RL and SL are gay.  Just don't care.  People are people.  That's all I care about.

    Two points:

    Point one " Illiberal", yes, that word does not exist in the English language , nevertheless we are respectful or people who may not be native speakers or dyslexic etc...we don't know...

    2- not seeing gender and sexual orientation as with race, is ignoring the differences and the struggles those communities go through..."not seeing a rat ass" means you do not care...and that's your right.

    Can anyone please give me some basic info, thoughts and pointers on second life and where to begin?
    thank you.

     

     

    Start by making some friends, it really will enrich your experience and you can learn a lot from them.

    It is sad to come back yo SL to find that the big Lesbian (I mean...you know...real lesbian) communities have vanished. Any places you can recommend for boi/ftm that is not a sex place? Also, I would like to make friends from the community in general...do you notice that the gay community is going invisible rl too??? sighs.
