I’ve been exploring the Fediverse for a bit, and I really like that different instances can interact with each other. But that also leads to some oddities, like how the culture on each instance treats anonymity.
On Reddit, most accounts were anonymous. Personally I always tried to keep any personally identifying information to a minimum.
On Twitter, many accounts are just [Firstname][Lastname], in fact many of the accounts I follow are because of who they are IRL.
In the Fediverse, these different cultures can interact with one another. Kbin users can interact with Mastodon users, etc. I’m just wondering how Kbin users feel about anonymity. Would you be distrustful of an anonymous user? Would you avoid posting personal information incase of doxxing?
In the abstract I would rather not have my up- and downvotes be public information, but in practice I don’t think anyone will have enough interest in me and my doings for it to matter.
