weird

Oh, I was okay with it.

If you're not on, it does that.

Well that's kind of nice. I was expecting it to be like, 80 by now.

Yeah they changed it a little while back, where if you're actually not on and not just on but not doing stuff, then you don't get penalized anymore. I think they FINALLY realized that people can wind up away

randomly for stuff and coming back to shit karma is a big turn-off for using a site, heh.

Good, now they can make 87 other changes and I might like it here.

goes back to MeWe where it's quiet but drama-free

and Google Plus, even if it lacks a certain special bookworm

Lol. Actually one thing I noticed about MeWe is, for some reason, there is a HUGE amount of anti-vaxx, which is in conjunction with "christian" homeschooling gun-loving "patriots." It's a little disconcerting

how many groups there are on that nature. Like the name of a group will be something I could be down with, but then it's all, Jesus, freedom, non-forced medical... and I'm like ...Oh. >>

Oh I noticed that right away, but that's not surprising, given the pro-privacy aspect of the site. Those same people are paranoid, so they WOULD be drawn to that.

I figure, the site itself doesn't seem to promote that stuff at all, it's just a platform like any other, and can be used however you like, so if anyone bothered to go there, we could use it for good, not evil.

lol. but yeah... won't happen. It's just as well that I'm antisocial

or hyposocial...

Oh yeah, I don't think it's related to the site itself.
That's an interesting thought, though a lot of those kind of people do shout it loud on FB, too.

In any case I do like it there, it's just too quiet. None of my plurkies will even check it out, except the sole one who joined right away but hasn't gone back since "too many sites" blahblah. The rest just

either completely ignore the posts about it, or say it's "plurk or nothing" for them, even though there's been assloads of issues here lately, way more than there ever was when they "upgraded," people would

apparently rather lose their "friends" and never have any contact with them again than join any other site. Like wow, nice to know how much I really mean to anyone!

I'm confused by the concept of drama free homeschooled anti-vax people.

Lol well you don't need to join those groups

with guns. i left out with guns.

Primo group! XD

What's this about upgraded? Who upgraded? confused

And yeah, that's how it is, geekmonkey, people don't really care. For the most part, my closest, TRUE friends don't even actively use Plurk. Kinda tells me something right there.

People who are so sucked into this site that they can't fathom communicating outside it... are usually a certain type of person, whom I'm better off without

looks at geekmonkey 's image oh god... yeah, that trash abounds there

But those are groups, just like Facebook has groups and Google Plus has communities... you don't have to join them, they're for like-minded people, so make a group of your own.

Only problem is, you have to have 5 members in that group before it will be public for others to join - and how do you do that, when your friends won't bother joining? I am so fucking misanthropic lately. Sorry

Lol don't worry, I'm the same. And yeah it's not like I think all groups have to appeal to me XD it's just there's a lot of these, and they're among the biggest groups in the categories they're under. That

crap I posted is the largest English group under freaking Friends fer chrissake! Also, these people are EVERYWHERE. In my, what, 7? total contacts, of people who added me from groups, 2 of them turned

out to be anti-vaxxer morons. One of them posted this asinine img about how it's such contrived bull that non-vaccinated kids could possibly be the cause of anyone getting diseases when those kids are healthy,

so I replied to it telling her how misleading it was and what the actual FACTS of the matter were and she was all, everyone is entitled to their opinions, no problem! and I'm like, NO, everyone is entitled to

opinions, that does not change SCIENTIFIC FACT that is bringing back nearly eradicated diseases and killing people! Then I pulled her posts from my feed & pulled her access to see mine, but didn't remove her

for a few days. Then I found out there's another one when she complained about some family member on FB and vaccines and how to convince them and UGH. I left her because she at least hardly posts, that other

one was flooding my damn wall, and it was repeats of what she puts in all her groups. >< Anyway point being random sane-seeming people in other groups turn out to be them! LOL
