I think this is super healthy and a really sensible approach - but it does seem unorthodox in today's internet.
People see it as a right to say whatever they want to whomever they want, but really should we be able to do that without consequence?
Anyway, I love this idea - it just sucks that I can tend to have what some would consider politically extreme ideas that some employers may or may not find off putting. I inevitably create "alt" accounts on sites like Reddit to voice these views.

Also, as a rule I only use this name on sites that are clean and professional, ie: github, where I know I will only post sophisticated things that could benefit my career, unlike reddit where i just want to fuck around.
- tjr225 8y agoThat's part of the problem with sites like reddit and exactly what I'm getting at - is it healthy to have forums Where we can air our craziest ideas anonymously? Or maybe should we have to think critically and be kind before doing so?
