I don’t know what ignoring someone actually does. Blocks private messages maybe? I didn’t notice anything or get notified.

icedchai: that sounds horrible!

omg chai i'm soo sorry :-( i'd be so sad!!!
i wish user interfaces wouldn't let that be an option in the first place, i feel like it's just good design to prevent users from accidentally doing something like that
did you ever get to talk to that person again? :-(

i think it hides that persons posts and threads :0 as if that person doesn't exist on voltra ... ?
i wonder if it hid my posts from you too when it happened?
i tried to say something in this thread too and it disappeared! lol (but came back after i fixed it)

That sounds super weird.
I’d have to be really upset to make someone invisible

mm true ^^ i was thinking of how like i feel like i talk to internet friends way more than irl friends ... ?
since these kinds of internet spaces are specifically for chatting :0
whereas i might not constantly chat w my friends ... i think bc of the nature of texting it feels like it's like ... i have to reply to every message vs. w online spaces you can dip in/out whenever you're in the mood for conversation

I totally agree
I definitely talk to me online friends more.
I’m a way, that makes the connection even stronger.
You have have a really genuine and strong connection with someone online here, just because you get to know each other so well over time

i wouldn't mind talking to irl friends every day ^^ like if they were to all be on voltra Lol
but i probably wouldn't over like text just bc of the format/expectations of it

outside of school/work there aren't that many contexts where you would interact with someone on a daily basis :0

I would love my friends to be on here, but this isn’t any of their jam. This isn’t something they would do.

When we were younger, my sister and I both belonged to the same roleplay forum, and she became super popular instantly because she’s such a ”people person”. I have not invited her to join any of my things since.. >.>

hahahahha
it's sweet that your sister enjoys forums too ^^ what kind of rp did yall do?

i have a few nerdier friends irl but i'm p sure none of my irl friends would ever join voltra on their own
i have 1 acquaintance/friend who said they used to gaia back in the day but that's it, i'm p sure i'm the only person i know irl who spends time on these kinds of sites

It was a Harry Potter role play forum, your character was a hogwarts student. XD

I have one friend who used to be on Gaia but I don’t think he was ever that big into the talking aspect. I think he was a pretty casual user, and only joined because he knew people on there.

I enjoy that I can be totally honest on here and not have to worry about people I know seeing it. Like if I’m mad at a roommate one day I can vent safely. XD

haha yeah definitely!
i think growing up when i was on forums i never talked abt it or shared with my friends :0
but this time i feel comfortable mentioning it to some of my closer and/or nerdier friends that i've been spending lots of time on here hehe

i do think not having any links to irl lets you talk more honestly about stuff or explore things you might not otherwise :0
like i think the whole rp / character making/toyhouse stuff i might feel awkward talking about irl, esp since i don't have any friends who are into it
but it's so normalized and like ... even cool to be able to share about this stuff in online communities :3

I know what you mean!
Harry Potter no doubt has had a huge impact on my life.

Yes! No matter what you’re into, there are other people online who share the same interests and can encourage you! It’s so nice to know there is always support somewhere.

All the smaller avatar sites seem to be overwhelmingly positive towards everyone! It’s such a wonderful place to spend my time.

yeah i'm glad it got so many young people reading too! those were some thick books lol i can't believe we just gobbled em up like they were nothing lol

aww yeah it is sweet ^^
i quit social media earlier this year and i think unconsciously voltra has filled or replaced that role for me
it definitely feels way better to interact w people online this way over the ig/twitter feeds i used to look at every day
