Similar Worlds

I was invited to Similar Worlds while Experience Project was in it's death throws. I love the site, and I applaud the staff for their open mindedness. Of course they won't tolerate bullying or hate speech, but they don't censor opinions that are not in lockstep with the status quo. The bells and whistles are great too. I personally think they are better than Experience Project in that regard. SW is a fantastic site, that in some small ways is helping to make the world a better place. It really is nice for the world to sit for a cup of coffee and a chat.

Been here since the beginning

Been here since the beginning. Like any social media site, it takes time to navigate the strange waters, but if you're patient, you can make genuine connections.

Similar Worlds is a good place to pass…

Similar Worlds is a good place to pass some time. There are a number of regulars who you will soon come to recognize. There will definitely be people you like as well as people you don't like. People go there because they are bored or lonely or they want to help others. Or because they want to argue politics, or tell/hear a good joke, or procrastinate about real life. Just be careful not to be sucked in too deep!

I like the site

I like the site, I love to share stories from my life, and the people there are overall nice in their feedback, plus I get more comments than elsewhere on social media, so I'm happy with it.

A good place to be

Joined after it's predecessor The experience project closed. Like all social media sites, SimilarWorlds has it's good days and it's bad days. At it's worst it seems over-populated by irritating Trolls and annoying 'single issue posters' with nothing of value to say. At it's best, SimilarWorlds has some fantastic contributors whose advice and friendly nature have made me happy to still be a part of it all this time.

Similar Worlds

It’s good if you are not into Facebook and Twitter and stuff. I like the family feel of Similar Worlds.

The site is an anonymous social website…

The site is an anonymous social website with a q&a forum, and a private messaging section.

On the plus: can be fun, good banter and a good laugh. Admin are engaged with the users and respond to feedback. You can gift others, you can filter to tastes, and you can easily block.

On the minus: users circumvent the blocks by creating new accounts. There is a lot of bullying and harassment, stalking an extreme debate. The site permits nudity and tends to turn a blind eye to nudity, some users who are banned just make a new account with a new email address. There is no safeguard for the under 18s. In fact no age verification is actually carried out and as a result there are children on the site, some able to view the adult content. This is the main reason for my low score. It also treads a fine line between acceptable fetishism with many questionable groups and posts about child spanking and rape.

Edit following response from SimilarWorlds: Facebook and Twitter do not permit nudity, Google request that an adult pay $1 via a credit card to ensure parental permission. SimilarWorlds does not require verification or check parental permission. The review remains as is because the site permits nudity and permits children.

Reply from SimilarWorlds

Hello,

We appreciate your review. However, we'd like to clarify that:

1) We allow, at most, *mild nudity* (no sexual activity nor zoomed to genitals), as long as the post is marked as Nudity. Other users can easily turn off Nudity posts from appearing in their feeds, and groups they visit.
Nudity is absolutely not allowed in Profile Pictures.
Users should use the Report Abuse button to make us aware of users breaking these rules.

2) We do take a lot of measures to prevent suspended users from creating new accounts. Every day, we successfully stop many users from doing so (we have logs for that), but unfortunately, no system is perfect, and some users can find ways to go around these measures. The same applies on Facebook, Twitter, Google and other services.

3) It's correct that there is no age verification on Similar Worlds, just like there is no age verification on Facebook, Twitter, Google and most other services. Similar Worlds would have almost no users there if we forced age verification.
However, we do ask for the Date of Birth at the time of signing up. We don't allow users below the age of 13, and we filter away most Adult content from minors, and block contact between Adults and minors (based on complex criteria), as long as the users put their correct date of birth. We cannot do much if users lie about their age (which happens on any website).

4) We have a huge amount of Groups on Similar Worlds, and only less than 5% of the groups are Adult/Fetish (auto-rated based on a big list of words). The groups that can be questionable are already marked as Adult/Fetish, and any posts on those Groups can easily be filtered by other users, and are automatically filtered for minors. If users find Groups that they believe shouldn't be on Similar Worlds, they should use the Report Abuse button to make staff aware of them, and we will review the report and action appropriately.

Very kind regards.

Came to this site after EP and I'm a member for almost 4 years

Ι see many people judging this website by its users- which is illogical. You can block whoever you like, just like you can block adult content and of course report any inappropriate behaviour. The admins care about their image so they are trying to reduce the unpleasant parts. Their work is hard, because as this site is the "continuation" of Experience Project, it's infected by many groups that still aren't filtered out with triggering content (such as pedophilia and child abuse in general).
Also many people keep complaining about how SW is full of liberals or conservatives or what not... Personally I haven't noticed the admins taking any stand on politics apart from not allowing outright racist posts that are basically hate speech.
The site is easy to use and you can be yourself completely and as long as you're not a threat to society, most people won't judge you.

Honestly one of the most underrated…

Honestly one of the most underrated Social networks out there, it's predecessor was a bit superior because of various features such as being able to create groups and people being able to easily find extremely old writing of yours.

But this one is a lot more anonymous than others and people feel free to be a bit more wild.

A weird website what's runned by otherworldly narcissists

The fact last four days seven new reviews about Similarworlds popped up and what are all positive and changed the SW rate at once from "poor"into "average" tells already what a manipulative, corrupt organisation we're dealing with here. Beside that. it shows what a simple minds those "professionals" are, in four days 10% of the total reviews from the last four years and even all positive doesn't look suspicious at all and is pure coincidence of course haha.
