Haha, this is so rich, because you seem to care enough to make a throwaway and not link it to your real account.
- GotURsolution3 10y agoI don't have a "real account". Not caring about accumulating points and not caring to be involved in a discussion at all are separate ideas. I have no obligation to link my identity to the data collection schemes. I use multiple VPN services to, FWIW :) That maybe could have been implied by use of a throwaway and explicitly stating disinterest in points. I'd rather focus on the ideas and conversations. Upvote/downvote leads to watered down groupthink. "I'm too lazy to think up something, so I'll just quickly upvote/retweet what sounds closest to what I'm thinking." The point of the sentence was to let people who are going to reach for it know that no long term status will be valued by either choice. It's only going to improve visibility in this conversation and cease being valuable after. Since some of these things matter to people, I'm up front about it. Logging out now! Never to post with this name from this IP again!
