> Seeing stuff like this makes me wonder why people keep using social media at all.
I also wonder this. I know this is a common theme on this board, but I haven’t posted anything under my own name since 2015, when I left Facebook during the run up to the 2016 election.
I am careful with my words when I post. I try to avoid sarcasm, try to mean what I say and say what I mean. But I am not confident that a poorly worded question or statement won’t resurface in a few years and make me look like an asshole.
So I choose not to post under my real name, and even then I don’t dip into anything controversial. I don’t post pictures of myself on the Internet at all. I advise everyone to do the same.
