The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

    I worry about becoming too recognizable because I have an unconscious bias to begin self-censoring my harsher opinions once I begin to “know” people in the online space. I prioritize people’s feelings over being right, and that can cause me to sugarcoat too often when someone I like says something truly tonedeaf or unintelligent.

    I just wanna be able to say “The US is a fucking third world shithole” without some American acquaintance giving me the 🥺 and making me feel like a bastard man about it lolol

      The only thing that annoys me personally is when people start implying that it’s like, my fault as someone who was born here
