RE: Benefits of a Real Persona VS. Anonymous Profile on Social Media

in #socialmedia8 years ago

This is a semi-anonymous account incorporating the online handle I have had for a very long time. I prefer this slight anonymity because I have received death threats from keyboard warriors for posting things they dislike, and while we all know they're all probably incapable of carrying out such threats, why bother giving them extra ammunition to expand the sphere of their trolling into my real life?

It certainly won't stop a truly dedicated troll or a government agency from finding out who I am, but if either of those are after me, I have bigger worries anyway.

Sort:  

sad to think that because you don't want to receive death threats out of opinin that you wont get as much pay out as someone elese with a fake account and fake identity that has been verified.

There's a reason both villains and heroes often wear masks :D

yup, I personally don't think an extra 5 bucks a post is worth having people harassing my work or family because they disagree with an opinion I have.

but..... extra 5 bucks a post to get verified under a fake name and pic could be worth it.
lol
