If I wanted to be noticed, I’d go outside. The reason I liked reddit, more than any other social media, was because my identity was practically irrelevant. Only my posts mattered.
Same here. I hugely prefer lurking until I feel compelled to speak on something. My MIL is a Facebook addict and routinely complains about people being rude and mean about things she posts; for me, it’s just like, if people are going to be mean, might as well avoid tying your personal identity to the target of those insults. It hurts a lot less, and it doesn’t follow you around the same way.
