This is excellent advice, but there is one exception: on the internet, behave as if your username was your real name and everyone was in the room with you. Don’t use the cover of anonymity to be mean. Act as if people knew you and remembered you.

- Joel_Mckay 3y agolol, many wrongly assume the convenient services haven't made billions off those that assume any anonymity exists in their metadata. Prior to ML, it was computationally unfeasible to develop speculative dossiers on the majority of populations. Best not think too deeply on the matter... Have a wonderful day =)
- probably_wrong 3y agoI wanted to comment something on that same vein: you probably won't be famous, but someone will definitely read your blog when considering whether to hire and/or date you. I applaud those that bad-mouth their previous employers because it makes my daily reading more interesting, but I can't in good conscience suggest that people should do it more.
