DO NOT go on this website before you read this! So I was just needing another site to share my experiences, and I was asking my questions about why and how I'm curious about something. Guess what?! They were attacking me for being the "s" word! Even the admins and mods are doing their job the wrong way! Be careful when you sign up for this pred prone website! People there are fake! All they do on their profile pages for examples is lie about their "g" word, put false pictures that are not theirs and write up creepy messages when I never asked for them! AGAIN: DO NOT go on this website before you read this!

While there was once a sense of hope, that SW would evolve, sadly, it has followed the demise of its predecessors.

Writers have abandoned the site enmasse, leaving the feed with just sadness and occasional dramas.

The site abandoned efforts to preserve the individuality of members. This included eliminating the EP inspired features that use to support many with depression and mental health issues.

Currently it appears to be downsizing to something akin to an aimless social blog.

It has some interesting design aspects and lots of troublesome content.

While originally habit forming, the designer has drifted the site towards a highly locked down european centric paradigm, lacking an essence of the american experience.

This leads to a high turnover of new members and alienation of existing members.

Membership growth appears stalled, with an obvious long-term trend to less serious writing and reduced interaction.

Wall Street should eye this venture cautiously.

New members should dabble, test it and follow their interest.

If you are seeking friendships, romance, humor, alternative points of view and discussion... this is not the place.

Recent design changes have made the site lame.

Overall, I recommend avoiding it altogether.

No social media site does it better. It flows 24x7. You can endlessly expess yourself, while at the same time systemicly ignoring those you do not want to read.

Everybodys experience is unique

Not a site for those wanting to torment

A good site for those inquisitive about others

An excellent site for expression and healing

Ideal to find a friend at 2 AM

I love it it's better than Facebook to me. Like the post on there. Love the photos there have on there

I was a member a very long time ago. I was booted for a very absurd (and many users thought so as well) reason. I DIDNT EVEN violate TOS and I was gone for over 2 years. I decided to give the site another try. DivineWind77.

Everyone I spoke to liked my posts. Nobody and I had ANY arguments. And guess what. INSTANTLY booted. No explanation. No review. No justified reasons.

Talk about a bunch of petty people. The moderators apparently hold grudges and play favorites just like children.

If you want adult interaction and fair play. Don't look here. Apparently if they don't like you. They ban you FOR LIFE.

I really haven't been on there long. I heard about the site through a friend on Facebook and I thought it would be a good change of pace, compared to Facebook.

The first day I signed up I noticed my posts wouldn't show up on the main forum of Similar Worlds. And a few more posts after that, same result. I wasn't visible on the site. So I was basically shadow banned. I contacted the admins of Similar Worlds, and got no response at all. Eventually I closed my profile. Clearly my expectations were a little too high for that site.

I tried to make a review about this on Trustpilot. But they took it down, Trustpilot said that my review didn't seem genuine. And wanted evidence. Like... what? What evidence are you looking for? My posts literally got no interaction for the time that I was there. So I sent them screenshots of my posts. They have yet to get back to me on that, and I doubt they will.

Because it looks like there's favoritism going on. Smh.

My first review was on another site. And the owners of Similar Worlds flagged it, for "violating" the guidelines of that review site. Which is nonsense. I stated nothing but facts as to what they did. They're just mad because I wouldn't delete it. Why would I delete my review when it's TRUE? There were reviews much worse than mine on that site, but they flagged mine. Hmmmm. And I hope the owners of that particular review site are not being paid off to hide and/or remove reviews. Because then they would be breaking their own rules.

The Similar Worlds admins accused me of "creating multiple accounts", "violating terms of service", and "defaming" them.

Now I don't know who they've dealt with before, but I refuse to be silenced because they're tying me to something I have nothing to do with. And because of that, I will be reaching out to more people to find out what's really going on.

UPDATE: I wake up to an email from Trustpilot, telling me they've removed my review because they found it to be "suspicious". As you can see in the picture provided below. Smh. At this point, I'm encouraging EVERYONE to speak up about the negativity they've experienced on Trustpilot. Write as much negative reviews as possible. Because by the looks of it, the admins seem to be hellbent on keeping a "great" rating over there. All of that needs to change. THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL!
