Do you think people on social media should be required to disclose their names?
- llamaimperative 2y agoI would love a real-names only network. There should be other networks as well, but this should be an option.
- echelon 2y agoWe already have a few: LinkedIn and the real world.
- llamaimperative 2y agoLinkedIn is a professional network. It's not designed to facilitate the same types of conversations that happen e.g. on Twitter (and no, I don't think the presence of anon accounts make Twitter what it is, at least not in the circles I care about). "Real world" is umm... okay. Thanks for the contribution.
- ryandrake 2y agoA lot of people on Facebook use their real names, and back before I quit it, I was pretty shocked at the kinds of horrible things people would say under their real name and under a picture of their face, also, knowing full well their friends and family could easily see it. I don't think real names would help that much.
- llamaimperative 2y agoThat strikes me as boomer stuff though. Not as many millennial++ doing that, and I figure that number will just decline (especially given that you can easily just go be socially repulsive with anonymity and no repercussions on other mainstream networks now).
- cryptonector 2y ago> boomer stuff Makes note to self: calling people boomers is totally a-ok!
- llamaimperative 2y agoI am literally referring to baby boomers, which is a generation of Americans. "Note to self: It's okay to call people millennials now?!" Uh yes, it is.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoI use mine. It keeps me honest.
