I am pretty much me, but the anonymity is for protection in part of myself, mostly o my wife. On Non-Block chain social media people can delete, and be forgotten. I think in some places they can tell google to forget everything about them, on the chain...not gonna happen.
That being said, it is only the private issue, job exact location of living, income level and things that are really not need to know things to understand who I am. I don't discuss my job because I really do not think it has much bearing on who I am. I am retired for several years, and have no contact with former employees or co-workers, it was a job, not a life for me.
I do feel what I reveal is honest, likes and dis-likes, life is not a simple thing, there is no handbook, and every single life is different. I probably get pissed off more off-line than I do on-line. On line it is easy to move on to another page. Rules change so I look for and find alternative communities and pages of interest.
I tried a lot of different social media places, but like oft basterdized facebook to fakebook I just did not find very many real people, just drama kings and queens and woe is me ... and no my shit don't stink ... people.
Steem started it, it was a shame it changed so much and the centralization was not something I wanted to participate on. I did find some real people there though and they almost all came over to Hive. Then I found a few more real people on Hive, like you and Tom and a few others. I think that is what makes Hive different than most places.
To long sorry, you should give more word limits.
I totally agree that some degree of privacy is important; The term overshare was coined for a reason. There are so many aspects about me and my life that I've not even alluded to here, or anywhere else, and I think that's how it should be. I've been asked particular things here, specific questions, and have either advised I'll not comment or that I'd rather not...It's all good, people understand.
It's all personal choice and whilst I might be a knucklehead I understand the reasons for it...I mean, it's not like I'd be happy to put my phone number on the blockchain... (1800-unremarkable if you're wondering) Lol.
I like honesty, people being themselves, and I guess that's what I try to be, albeit behind the filter of privacy and security such that it is these days.
You're one of the people I referred to in my post...You come across as genuine, comment in the same way and interact openly...Other's should take your example...Passion, personality and effort; That's what get's me interested.
Thank you, we all have bad days, and good days, I just like to keep the interaction real and fun at the same time. Like the little mine game and zombie game I like, they are games and comments can get quite fun.
Like I mentioned I have found lots of people that try to keep it real on Hive and that makes this place enjoyable for me.
And me. If it wasn't enjoyable I'd be gone.
There are the KEY words:
Exactly.
Enjoyment is what it's all about. The rest will follow on.
