Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no “hacking” could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?
And don’t think about changing your name, or moving, all this info updates in real time. (for “magic” reason)
(You also cannot delete any future posts.)
Meh. My real world would know what my digital world already knows, that I’m much more of a nerd than I portray myself as.
It’s not because I purposefully hide it. It’s because it’s not a topic that is interesting to anyone in my real world circle of friends. I don’t have real world friends who want to talk about Linux, and Open Source, and retro-video games, and all of the other stuff that I ramble on about online in forums where the peeps who understand me all hang out.
There’s probably some very surprising porn habits in there as well that my real world friends and family would have NO CLUE about, but c’est la vie.
Eh. I’m basically the same online as in person.
Ya’ll are gonna have to travel pretty fucking far to fight me. Welcome to the Tundra.
Lots of people have written fan-fiction worse than that!
Not fucked. Of course I have some cringy stuff on MySpace from when I was in my early teens. But generally speaking, over the last two decades or so I don’t post anything I wouldn’t be OK with everyone finding out about
