Anonymity is way over rated :) I'm just a back assed country boy and I can find out who you are and where you live pretty easy in about 90% of people. If I can, smart guys can in a hurry.
I just don't care. Who you are and where you are is none of my business unless you need to make it so. I have online friends (a couple who are just really close) but just like in person friends it takes some time to expand the level of trust. I'm pretty careful in a general way.
I once posted my address AND phone number in a completely public chat. I had a guy threaten physical violence to me so I wanted to make it easier for him to deliver. As in come on or STFU. He hasn't come yet.
I support a couple of discord servers (and am part of 3 private ones) where I check in a couple times a day because I like the communities attached.
Looking forward to Friday. Should be a really interesting and engaging topic.
Maybe people hold on to the illusion of anonymity on hive as they believe it's the only place they are able to? It would be interesting to see how many splurge their lives all over the other social medias with their friends though huh?
It's all personal to the individual though I guess; Some will do this, and others that based on their beliefs.
I don't think that guy will ever turn up at your place either. People talk a big game from behind their keyboards.
Nah, he'll never show. Like all bullies he's a fucking coward. I knew that in the instant I typed my address.
So. To bring it back around he violated the Primary Directive. That being "Don't Fuck with Jangle or Sunny" (my two partners at the time).
Maybe Friday would be a good day to ask Jangle how she got the name. It's a wonderful story and doesn't have any Poutine involved.
Hmm, Maybe @jangle will tell the story on the #weekend-engagement topic this week...It'll be relevant. All will be revealed Friday.
