When I got banned off from Reddit because of a bot, I feel like I lost part of me in a way, because I was getting my news there, I had friends and suddenly I lost it
Here however I feel like more of myself because I get to post whatever I want without pressure or faking anything
That feeling after quitting your first mmorpg.
Gets less and less, don’t have it anymore 😉
Not so much an identity, but more of a reflection of myself.
It’s kind of like I’m standing around the corner where the rest of you can’t directly see me, and Social Media is a mirror that let’s you look around the corner and see a glimpse of me, and also let’s me see an image of all of you.
I keep meaning to interact on here more and actually post stuff, but then don’t. This is almost exactly how my relationships with people IRL are. So… a little bit, yeah.
Well I had multiple accounts so if so then I must be very disturbed lol
No.
I don’t think I’d feel like I lost a part of me if I my account got banned. But I could imagine feeling pretty angry if it was unfair, and frustration at losing access to save post or conversations with that I still reference.
But I do think an account is a ‘face’, just like in real life. I talk differently at work than with my friend, I speak differently to my boss and my students, and even different friend groups have different ways of talking or humour they enjoy. In that sense my lemmy account talks about some stuff I wouldn’t bring up with certain people, and there’s some stuff I wouldnt post on here.
