You will be blown away by stuff people post at eachother on facebook, the site where you use your real name
- ljf 1y agoConsider; a. Not all people using Facebook are using their real name, and b. Not all Facebook accounts are real people
- jrflowers 1y agoYou have a good point. Some people have anonymous accounts on facebook and that means that my old neighbor did not publicly surprise her husband by announcing that she was polyamorous in a status update
- nialse 1y agoReal names? I have an old novelty account (not used) which still sends me updates via email from the family of the same name as the ready made meals company I was making fun of. At the same time you are completely right! Troll culture has enabled an era of unhinged communication. Many people have lost the little decency they had. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not immune to it.
- jrflowers 1y agoYeah my point isn’t really about troll accounts. They exist but that doesn’t have anything to do with the amount of crazy stuff people post under their real names on facebook. Like I could say “imgur, the place where you post dogs” and that would be accurate even if somebody saw pictures of a cat on it
