When I got banned off from Reddit because of a bot, I feel like I lost part of me in a way, because I was getting my news there, I had friends and suddenly I lost it
Here however I feel like more of myself because I get to post whatever I want without pressure or faking anything
No, not really. An account/ profile is just that. An account to use to interact with said platform.
Especially on centralized platforms like Reddit, Instagram and such. It just means nothing. Your “karma” on Reddit means nothing, can be manipulated etc. Account can be banned for no reason. Similar on any other platform.
Neither do I use any of these platforms for friends. I keep the accounts private from my usual real life. If I want to keep in touch with someone, it’ll usually be through WhatsApp.
If I lose for example the Reddit or Instagram account. That’s okay. Sucks but okay. These platforms are filled with trash and moderated by trash (including the actual CEOs).
