I‘d like to know: Do you use your real name on other Social Media instances? How do your comments differ from the ones you make public from those ones made anonymous?

    Regardless of the account, anonymous or not, I assume that my identity will be revealed and post accordingly. I’ve been doing so since I first posted on the internet in 1990.

    Not for nothing, the same is true for email and any other form of (electronic) communication.

    Do I make mistakes? Absolutely! Have I regretted making a post or comment? Over the years perhaps less than a dozen times, that, or I’m getting old and feeble minded.

    I try to make my contributions positive and supportive, sometimes I even manage to get the balance right between my odd sense humour and misunderstanding promulgated by online communication with strangers.

    I only have an instagram connected to two or three hundred close friends and family. But it’s only for like, you know, pictures of our morning stools and stuff.

    Unwritten rule online; you don’t. Unless you’re paying bills online and whatnot.

    Fuck no.

    My comments wouldn’t differ, but I’d be too likely to have to shoot some moron that can’t leave the internet on the internet.

    I use fake name generators for all accounts. I also have a system to get an email which can’t be easily tied back to me.

    The difference is I guess I comment with anonymous accounts.

    Never. I have a very rare first Name and the combination with my last Name is unique. I also have cut contact with my abusive family so I don’t want them to find me.

    I kinda do, my first name at least, though technically my lemmy/piefed username is a contraction of my real full name.

      Nice :-)

      OT: I can see your message in my inbox and was able to teils from there, but I can’t see it in the comment section of my initial post.

    Before we used our real name online cuz we wanted to be called by our name but over time we rather just have a Pen name of sorts. People still know and call us by our name but to random people it’s GarboDog. Yk?

    I used to do it before but not anymore. I use pseudonyms nearly 100% of the time whenever I make an account for anything.

    In case of the comments, I used to use Instagram at a time, and my Instagram has my real name, bio, and information. And as you know, there’s a lot of racism and toxicism on the platform’s comment sections so I have faced racism a bit. Aside from that, nothing much.
