SimilarWorlds, a recreation of the old site Experience Project, brings together just anyone from anywhere. I've never met such a cosmopolitan group of users with people from all walks of life, political viewpoints, and parts of the world. It can be a weird place to get into but so many users are amazing people. SW also has amazing community and administrator policing of exploitative content. The problem exists as it does on all social media, but people really band together to stop bad actors from hurting people. I've been there for years and hope it lasts for so much longer.
I got put onto Similarworlds by a friend on Reddit. Apart was very littler replies to my questions the thing that put me off was Gangs. It has 2 main groups of users that think it funny to abuse or report very small mistakes in your question. Also, when someone from a group/gang steps off the line with abuse, it's a waste of time reported it. The Moderators have favorite users it seems, those gang members can do what they want with NO action taken against them by the moderators. It's just not a fair place I out in the 10 months I used it. Needs a big change of moderation thinking to allow honest users a fair go.
It's a unique site for sure and what makes it that is that you can see content from every group and every user, unlike most sites where you can just see what you subscribe to. This can be a negative to some, but I think it's the way to truly connect to people, plus you can block whoever you want. The anonymity is what attracts many questionable people though, so be careful while you're at it!
(Honest Review, unlike most others here)
Pros:
- Provided a stable home for ex EP members.
- Staff, the admins & mods are all kind and professional.
- Develops a lot of neat features and improvements, and listens to user feedback.
- Has a lot of security measures in place to protect teens on the site.
- Goes out of their way to tackle child abuse and predators (report to law enforcement), unlike other social networks.
Cons:
- Needs more staff, to tackle issues and abusive users more quickly.
- Could improve the offered list of groups (which they said they are working on)
The reviews on here that claiming that the Similar Worlds staff supports predators, are 100% false.
They in fact work with law enforcement on these cases, which is a process that can take time.
Those false reviews sound like troublemaker users who didn't like the fact that they got limited or banned from the site...
Tip for consumers:
Don't worry about the false, negative, hate-filled reviews on here. :)
Just angry troublemakers, who didn't have their way....
You'll meet a lot of amazing and beautiful people on SW, but also a lot of disgusting pervs and obnoxious trolls. If you can get past the latter though, it's a great place to express your thoughts and feelings, and have authentic conversations with people all over the world. I recommend this website to anyone who's got a strong stomach and a big heart. The UI is pretty good.
The site's users can be hostile sometimes but there are good ones in the mix you just have to find them. The administration are wonderful and do the best they can to improve the site, it helps a lot in this time of social distancing.
I have came to except this site but I'm not crazy about it. I think there are ways to improve this site.
I think that everyone chats should be in a row oldest first and go from there. So you can always have the option to go back and read all of your older posts.
Each of your friends should be at your fingertips easy to find all of your chat buddies with your favorite ones the easiest to find.
I wish that there was a easy way to share photos here. I haven't ever been able to send but two or three pictures at a time.
The reviews here are horrible and are NOT true. I can't believe anyone would post these kinds of reviews yes the site is still in development but the site hasn't even been open for a year yet. These people make out the admins to be idiotic morons which they are NOT they are amazing men that care about the community!
It took over from experience project otherwise we would have had nowhere to share our feelings and experiences.
You can be upfront and post your own photos and name or feel comfortable using the available anonymity. Public and private messages. Posts and questions.
Lots of great people but of course just like irl there are unpleasant characters. The admins jump on problems but with a growing site that is a challenge.
Functionality being improved all the time.
Give it a try. No cost involved. Been there over 4 years.
I very much like this site. I was a member of EP until it was shut own so to find a site i can find n share lifes trials n tribulations or get advice or just talk with someone about anything or nothing is a wonderful thing.
Any place where people gather there will be good and bad people. You can block, mute and report people also. The site is what you make of it and what you put your energy into. There are wonderful people on there that give lots of advice and support and encouragement and lots of interesting experiences and stories and poems shared. There are also trolls and bullies. There is also a block, mute and report button. I dont argue with anybody. I simple block people who are looking to argue or cause drama. I also do not look for problems either. Even on youtube, or facebook or anywhere theres combative individuals, but if you dont want them interacting with you, a simple block or mute will do the trick and also not feeding into it. And that goes for the perverts too. The site has a lot of wonderful people and id hate for that part of this site to be overlooked because of some bad apples.
Similar worlds like the name suggests, connects you to like minded people. It's a no judgment space where you can be yourself. Everyone has their own opinion, their own life going on there. There's no herd mentality to be found. It allows you to be free.
I really enjoy Similar Worlds. I have met some really interesting and awesome people there. And the best part is you have the option of blocking anyone who says things that upset you or even annoy you. They also have a feature of giving a nudity warning if you are going to post a naughty photo. Anyone who does not want to see such a photo does not have to open it.
My name is Blodyn. I am 20 and I been on Similar Worlds since it started. Quite a few years. It's like nothing else on Earth. We are a community, a family. We trust each other. And the staff are really dedicated. When I was younger they made sure to keep me safe. Well they still do keep me safe but you know what I mean. Because people who are not really wishing the good of other people do sadly creep in and when you are older like me you have the option of blocking them but when I was younger the website protected me from them. So if you're in your teens give it a go. Tell everyone about your interests. There'll be someone who will want to talk to you. I talk to people from all over the world. And sometimes you make life long friends!
This is a great locale to let your hair down, let your thoughts and feeling flow freely. If a person loves to live vicariously through the actions of others, there are many accounts to read, satiating the desires.
Like many websites, Similar Worlds can be a great experience with wonderful people, or it can be a playground for trolls. The admins are really dedicated to making it the former. Know that if you participate, you can completely block posts from deliberately offensive people, or you can have an email conversation with the admins about them.
The start of the website was rough but the administrators of the website and have met all of the challenges to make this a very unique and fun website that includes discussion groups and emotional support groups.
I was on another site that used to have an issues with trolls, That is, disputers and those wished to spread lies and falsehoods. And I read most of the comments below, I realize those trolls have found a home here. So many untruths have been told as fact. The character assignation that two two owners of the site have gone through in these comment is seldom seen.
I went to the site the week it opened and I am still there. I have watched it grow -and evolve- and I do not believe it is done. Will they give the users everything they want? No. A site cannot please all. But the majority will be happy.
As for the owners I know very little of them. And that is fine, I need not know their business. Personal or private. And neither should any business they have be anyone else's concern.
I suspect the negative comment. Below, is a coordinated effert on the part of one, or a group--o demean similarworlds.
Long time users of the site can see right through the BS.
I was in love with the experience project and the only thing I'd really change back is to make it easier to find older post and essentially stop notifying the whole site when a post goes up.
One of the things I loved about EP was all the hits I got were Targeted Traffic from people who had searched terms rather than the whole site because unfortunately notifying the entire website of my activity just invites the trollish responses.
There are a lot there- But you know the same snot nosed $#*! for brains exist on all social networks so it's not SW that's the problem.
So, after trying to get my account and plead to the admin. They let my account be unbanned. So, its been fun. I post Gif, I talk to people, there are very nice people that I can relate to but the downsize is that there are some very unstable people on there that try to report you and get you banned. There are some users, long time users that I have noticed that I had no beef with them are very... awful. I've never interacted with them but they can say some right out horrible things. You have to navigate around them by blocking them. I do believe that these users should be given a warning for making false reports. I do hope the Admins get the control on those abusing the flag report.
Similar Worlds is a well designed, administrated, and moderated site. I cannot fault the efforts of staff to provide a free and functional social site. There's simply little they can do about the large number of people intent on being as pathetic and troublesome as possible. I want to be a success in life, and so I left.

Similar Worlds is a good place to pass some time. Sometimes I ought to be doing something more productive, but if I weren't wasting time at Similar Worlds I'd be wasting it somewhere else! There are nice people there. Despicable people. Funny people. People who are looking for friends, people who want to tell jokes, talk about their love life, talk politics. People who want advice, people who want to give advice. After a while some people will be very familiar to you.
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.
Tip for consumers:
Beware. Fair play TOS doesn't exist here. Its whatever. Whenever they randomly decide applies
Similar World is a great discussion site. You can go there to vent, have some laughs & post. As with any site, you need to be cautious. Not everything is believer. But once you become a regular poster, people get to know you, & you become part of the community. The same goes for people who comment often. Of course, there are also users who aren't genuine & are there to make others miserable, but that's what the block & mute buttons are for. The admins & moderators on the site try their best to update the site, respond to reports & complaints, & ban certain users. It's a community site with both good & bad users, but it's a great site overall.
I rather like visiting Similar Worlds. I have met some interesting people there, and we discuss everything from politics to history, writing to how bad the Scottish football team are this season!
And insignificant. It's mostly a mecca for angry Trump minions and older men trying to groom young babes. The site works pretty good, but the quality of users is terribly lacking.
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.
