Negativity on SpaceHey

why is it that whenever i go onto spacehey blogs, the first couple of things i see have to do with something like proshipping or politics or whatever, i dont fucking care. HOWEVER, i do care about how the negativity nd creepiness of social media is creeping on here. this used 2 b a niche website where people could relive the 00s and escape from the echo chamber that is the internet today. now, however, this is beginning to thrive on this platform and it saddens me.

What I've encountered so far:

  1. Multiple blogs on proshipping and darkshipping -- no hate to Dana and the others. Jackie needs to go rethink her life decisions, however.
  2. Trolling/ragebait(?) -- a user by the name of "panini" has been posting a multitude of questionable funny posts that I think is supposed to be trolling? idk. they do have ONE valid blog though.
  3. This one is just sad(and its not their fault): ive been seeing some blogs that might be encouraging EATING DISORDERS. its quite sad that these people feel this way, but its also sad that theyre posting it onto spacehey where other people who are insecure about what they eat see this. Just one post could send them over the edge.
  4. I've also seen multiple posts where people are getting harrassed on SpaceHey IM. They are genuinely disgusting, and SpaceHey might want to step up their moderation just a bit..
  5. SO MUCH. FUCKING. POLITICS. SpaceHey was supposed to be a revival of MySpace, and on the latter, the worst thing that could happen on the platform was your emo bf putting you on #2 on Top 8 friends. Now? We have extremists on both sides of the political spectrum sharing their views and spiraling into insanity when ANOTHER EXTREMIST has opposing views in the comments. Like, hello??? We could literally avoid all of this if people just stopped talking about politics here. All the other corners of the internet are absolutely infected by redpill Andrew Tate stuff as well as far-left beliefs and echo chambers. SpaceHey doesn't need any of this bullshit. 
And, hey, maybe it's not that deep. Maybe I'm just looking too deep into this. But I get so mad when I wanna look at cool blogs but I get shot 67 times with "communism BAD", "why i believe spacehey is no place for proshippers dni", and worse instead of, i dont know, an art dump? someone sharing what they had for dinner? If you look the less popular topics, some of the stuff there is downright HORRIFYING. I pressed the "Clubs and Nightlife" category on accident and the second thing i see is some dude threatening to end it all because "hoes ruined his life" or whatever idc.

Also its so sad that actually light-hearted and interesting topics are overshadowed by all this negativity. There are so many cool topics, like waffles vs pancakes, and art dumps. THIS is what SpaceHey should be filled with: niche topics where geeks can nerd out, actual blogging(idk how a call it, public dairy or whatever lol), and FOOOOOOOD😋. Not these dark topics that ruin people's mood and is literally turning SpaceHey into any other social media sites. Guys? Do better.

signing off,

irr <3

P.S. i hope none of this came across as insensitive, and if it did, ill change it :)

Ugh yes i agree!! i literally made an account here for the same reason as you and many others; to escape the social media slop and negativity seen on tiktok, twitter etc. at first it was super cool seeing people decorating their profiles, posting bulletins about how their day went, posting their art like you said, etc. but over time i saw how theres so many creeps and idiots ruining everyone's day...like go do that on twitter!! idk if myspace was like this but i am TIRED of seeing these weirdos on spacehey howeverrr, i don't mind seeing people post about politics, as in talking about what is going on with the world, it is only okay when they are against genocide and oppression, you get me? i support palestine, congo, sudan and so many other oppressed groups and countries so personally i like seeing others do the right thing, but yeah if i see idiots deny those things or try to support tr*mp or other tyrannical leaders then actually gtfo

Or Discord. Or Tiktok. Or any other big gigantic platforms plummeting into toxicity.

We got bullying, stalking, cult behaviour, expose, etc

I'd do what I did back in 2015. Block out harassment and stalking. Stay devoted to things I like
