Creeping Out From the Shadows of Anonymity
Hello my name is @choreboy and I must say I am very intrigued by steemit.com. So much so I am considering breaking my normal practice of being anonymous on social media platforms. This new platform makes me want to give up my ways of shit posting behind a picture of someone else and emerge from the shadows of anonymity.
With the trend of call out culture where getting people fired over a different opinion was the best way to show your virtue, I felt it was best to remain anonymous in my online arguing endeavors. While hiding behind false images served the purpose of protecting me well it also negated the impact of my arguments. With this in mind I considered creeping out of the shadows many times before. Up until now the reward had no chance of outweighing the risk.
With this new platform and it's set up I am very hopeful that I can present myself as myself and have discourse without fear of blowback IRL.
So I thought I would first do an anonymous intro and follow it up with a real intro in the near future. So here I am baring absolutely nothing, posting a photo of someone else in the form of a meme waiting for my moment to step into the light.
Thank you in advance steemit!
Don't do it @choreboy ! There are ways to have an impact AND stay anonymous. If you have a job and are worried about getting fired, fear not! When you retire on crypto, you won't be reporting to a boss any longer.
As long as they want to know who I am - I will be sponge-bob. When they decommission the Utah Data Center, I will go back to my linkedin profile (but never to my job).
Hmm I'll have to think about it some more
Great post, I was actually thinking about doing the same thing until I saw this reply. But yeah I still find myself wanting to put pics on here sometimes but I guess I should take some time and find a better way to go about it...
Anyway, welcome to steemit! Can't wait to see some future post.
Thanks, im going to think about it some more but I am really leaning twords creeping out.
