this really was fun at first. the features were easy to use, the concept was simple, a lot of people got along very well. a LOT of people didn’t. naturally there were fights and people cancelling other people. but I think in attempt to control this, the developer got stricter in what was considered inappropriate to post. a lot of innocent people got banned, a lot of problematic stuff went unscathed. there were problems with doxxing and privacy. when unnecessary bans and restrictions were made, they kept referencing the TOS (which they claimed remained the same throughout) and it was either incorrect, an erroneous interpretation of a post, or similar to other users posts who didn’t get in trouble. what was considered “spam” was not clearly defined and not treated equally. when the mod team showed up, more people were getting wrongfully banned/restricted. when users started to catch on, understandably everyone’s posting asking “what gives?”. the mod team handled the situation immaturely and singled out a user for calling them out (despite many others making similar critique posts), making them a target for harassment outside of SwiftSpace . the developer disabled the feed and shut it down later due to personal reasons.
so yeah. I’ll never forget the interactions I’ve had on SwiftSpace. hopefully it comes back with more confidence in leadership.
