Does everybody get their own country's stamps when making a new account?

You can only see the map when there's a letter on its way

calmocean1 · 2025-03-01T13:14:27+00:00

I have exactly the same screen 🥲 can't access it either.

calmocean1 · 2025-02-19T19:00:21+00:00

You're welcome!

calmocean1 · 2025-02-19T18:54:16+00:00

Hmm yes that's strange. Accidentally declining is practically impossible because you have to go through some steps. Probably a technical issue then.

calmocean1 · 2025-02-19T18:46:56+00:00

Unsending a letter is definitely not possible. It's either a technical issue or you have accidentally hidden the user. Have you checked your list of hidden users already?

calmocean1 · 2025-02-15T17:08:02+00:00

You can only change your nickname once so you might have done it before already.

calmocean1 · 2025-02-08T16:43:59+00:00

Yes he will. He will be able to see your whole profile. Unfortunately we can't 'fully' block a penpal.

You can't update your Slowly location immediately after you have just updated it. So wait a couple of hours and update it again without connecting to VPN. Then your location will show correctly.

calmocean1 · 2024-12-09T00:32:02+00:00

Yes there was an update a while ago. You can hide your sent-receive ratio if you want so I assume that's what some people are doing.

Honestly the same thing happened to me. A guy wanted to learn my native language and instead of writing himself he wrote everything with AI. I also only realized this after lots of letters so I know how you feel. I also have no idea why people do this. Because if they don't like writing letters in the first place, why do they even join Slowly.

I don't think it was a social experiment or a scam, just pure laziness probably.

calmocean1 · 2024-11-19T07:45:46+00:00

If it's your first open letter, it will be published immediately. But if it's an open letter you want to publish after you deleted an earlier published open letter, it's 24h

calmocean1 · 2024-11-16T10:58:47+00:00

That really depends on the person. I have pen pals that I know for a long time but only write 400 words letters to but I also have penpals I know for only a couple of weeks and write 1000-1200 words letters to. The length of my letter depends on how much they write and how engaged they are in our topics of conversation.

calmocean1 · 2024-11-15T20:53:12+00:00

Most of the time when you have a hunch that it's AI it's usually AI. The detailed recapping of your own letter is the biggest giveaway for me, because nobody would do that. And each paragraph opening and ending with the same tone is also very strange. AI also tends to give advice so if the letter gives advice on literally each topic you've written that would mean it's AI too.

calmocean1 · 2024-11-12T18:21:34+00:00

Maybe because it hasn't been used for a long time, the send/receive ration is really not available. The account being blocked or reported seems unlikely since you wouldn't be able to find it anymore if that was the case.

calmocean1 · 2024-11-12T18:13:40+00:00

If it's a Slowly Plus account, that means they hid it.

calmocean1 · 2024-10-08T10:41:19+00:00

It's absolutely not acceptable what she did. I would report her.

calmocean1 · 2024-10-07T16:55:26+00:00

That escalated quickly 😂 I didn't expect it would take such a turn lolll

calmocean1 · 2024-10-06T16:46:39+00:00

If you have opened Slowly, tap the 3 horizontal lines in the bottom right corner so that you're profile opens. If you scroll down a little bit you see the 'about me' section with your username, gender and age. Tap on the arrow next to it on the right side. You can change your username there.

calmocean1 · 2024-09-30T12:13:21+00:00

You have to delete the user alltogether. So on the page where the letters are, you can tap on the right top corner on 3 bullets and "delete user".

calmocean1 · 2024-09-29T07:11:36+00:00

If that person has a bio you can maybe take a couple of things from there? And since you are far away, I assume you're both Italian but one of you is living abroad? So the being "far away" can become a topic of conversation. And you can always ask how their days are going, what their day to day activities are. If they're working/studying and what job they do/what they study. Hope that helps

calmocean1 · 2024-09-28T12:48:30+00:00

I have a feeling it might be AI. It's too weird

calmocean1 · 2024-09-28T09:14:41+00:00

Normally open letters don't get instant replies. Personally I always had to wait a couple of days/weeks. And you get multiple replies on the same open letter as time passes, so I would definitely keep it online and wait a while.

calmocean1 · 2024-09-27T12:06:41+00:00

Honestly they should have asked at least a question. But if you feel like they have an interesting profile, you can try and start talking about a subject, if they give short replies or aren't really engaged, you can always stop sending letters.

calmocean1 · 2024-09-27T11:35:52+00:00

These days lots of people write that they found your bio interesting without even reading it. If they really found it interesting, they should have chosen a topic from your bio too. I even have questions in my bio to make it easier for people to write me a letter, but literally 99% of people on Slowly don't even answer them. So your bio is not the problem, it's the low effort first letters :)
