I mean, I do use Twitter but since i'm rarely gonna use my phone anymore I kind of want to delete my account.
I don't see why you would delete your account. Do you primarily browse the internet on your phone?

Hi.
Yep. I would've already gotten rid of this phone were it not for the fact WhatsApp is forced down your throat nowadays. The thing affects my mental health and I don't think that should be happening.

Teachers are seriously blind by not noticing the trillions of social media that don't require a phone. LINE is seriously WhatsApp but without the neccesity of a phone, Skype is... well, Skype, and Discord, though daunting because 'it's for gamers', is brilliant for many reasons.
Was there not a PC version of Whatsapp or am I imagining things? Suppose it doesn't matter anyway. I guess your teachers probably prefer the fact it works on the go.

Honestly, these days there isn't a point where you don't see some person looking down at their phone. You are one of kind for trying to reduce your usage. I can respect that.

Oh! That brings Latios one step closer to reach his goal.

Doesn't it require you to still be connected via a phone, though? I vaguely remember that app just being a router of your phone's messages to the PC. Though maybe they changed that.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
You're required to scan a QR code on your phone indeed. Maybe I could do that and then hide away my phone but eh... not entirely sure if it's worth the hassle.
It requires you to connect to your phone with a QR code, yeah, at least the web variant.
I'm not sure if the PC app also requires that cause I never really tested it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't (correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't want to cause a whole new drama or point people towards attacking others by this post, but I thought deeply and I think a reason newcomers don't quite feel at home as they used to is the amount of 'sarcasm' that's being used or has been used on some parts of the site.

With that I mean using intentionally worse grammar and punctation to stay out of trouble because 'it's joke' even though they really aren't, '>' memes for the same reason, or make odd posts in odd topics even though some lads don't quite know how to do it 'right' (a surden deaf Brazillian for example)

I apologize in advance if I ruined a peaceful day in the office, it's moreso something I have noted after reading through some threads and thinking back to the Discord server I feel extremely out of place on.

While I somewhat see what you mean, I would like to point out that—for the most part—none of that is really exclusive to SMWCentral as a site or community. Don't get me wrong, those aspects can definitely be annoying at times and I agree with you on that. Granted I think you still go overboard with the hate toward it, but that's a hugely subjective thing. I really do disagree that it's a reason newcomers don't feel at home here, though.

Of course, I would be pretty blind if I didn't notice. I think it'd would be great if we would be one of the few sites that at least attempts to minimalize these for me somewhat big, for others not so much issues. It's verrrrrrrrry farfetched that it would be completely resolved but we could the initative.
I've found the prevalence of "it's just a joke" or "I wasn't serious" type excuses to be a good test for how toxic a community is. Those sorts of attitudes are defensive; whether they're actually serious or not, they want to have plausible deniability in case the flame cannons get pointed at them. Of course, that's no excuse if they're trying to explain away actually bad behavior, but still.

SMWC is neither the least nor the most toxic place I've been; kinda in the middle.

I've noted this behavior is very much prevelant on the Discord server but not a lot on the site, balancing it out. You would actually be quite right to say it's in the middle.

Let's not.
Just... let's not.

Sooo... umm, random question unrelated to whatever you guys were talking about before. Which of these sites do you go on (if any)?:

I only use Twitter to check up on what's happening with a few people. I would post more about my own life but it's pretty boring so it mostly just stays there empty. Although Twitter sucks for any meaningful conversation or discussion, almost everyone has a Twitter account, so if you ever need to quickly talk to someone I guess it's kinda useful.

I rarely, if ever use Tumblr. Not saying it's a bad place, I just don't use it all that much. I also recommend limited exposure to 4chan/8chan, if any. For talking to IRL friends, I just go ahead and talk to them in person or use an instant messaging app like WhatsApp.

I check some subreddits occasionally. Some places, specially the more popular ones, can easily develop into chaos from just a random comment, but the more chill places are nice.

The thing with reddit is that you have to go out of your way to find good places for discussion with sensible and sensibly-enforced rules. If you stick to the defaults, you might not have a good time. For example, instead of going to r/gaming, go to r/games and r/truegaming. Instead of going to r/politics, get your news from a more reputable source and talk about them in r/politicaldiscussion.

Very yes, I agree.

wat
I'm keeping my vow to be active! I posted *twice* this month! Yaaaay!

Jokes aside, I have ports coming. I fixed my laptop, so I can port anywhere again! Yaaaaay!
Is this working for anyone else? I'm just getting timeout errors. I think my country could have blocked the site...

EDIT: Downforeveryoneorjustme says the site's up, but the Australian version says it's not, so it is blocked in Australia.
