one of the things i like about "indie web" sites like this one, neocities and perfectly imperfect is the fact that no one in my real life is on them to dissect what i post. the drawback im finding is that it's hard to talk about some of the stuff id like to without disclosing too many details about my personal life.
do i think i matter enough to dox? lol no. but having been terminally online for about 30 years has taught me a lot about anonymity. trying to find a balance between authenticity and privacy is a struggle, even on sites that aren't supposed to be part of the panopticon.
the eternal struggle of finding a good place to put the brain worms.

I feel this. While I kinda miss the MySpace days where I actually knew most of my friendlist in real life, it's nice to have a place to get away from all the real life drama. But it is really hard to truly express yourself on here without giving away too much.

Yeah, you're pretty anonymous here which is a good thing so your personal identity isn't open to anyone.
But still be kind anyways and don't be awful.
i do my best!
