Maybe this is just me, but in the short time I have been here, I have changed my avatar at least five times. I’ve only been here four days. I am like this on any social media platform. Then the bio, what the hell do you write? They always say something like create an honest description. But if I’m honest, nobody will dare associate with me, just like real life. Both my avatars and any form of bio are far from the real me, I mean some of it is representative of me. If you read between the lines, but mostly it’s all rubbish. I hate the avatar and bio, and who ever invented them all those years ago, should be shot.
Am I the only one?
I hate writing about myself. I do, however, like using different avatars on different sites. The common sense thing to do would be to use the same avatar on different sites so people know it’s you (my Mastodon one is very similar to my Twitter one so migrating people will hopefully recognise me). Especially on the Fediverse where I have a Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Kbin and Lemmy account, all with different avatars and usernames. My bio tells you about my other accounts! Or at least it tells you about some of them. This one (well, you can check it yourself) has some meta text about my avatars, my Lemmy one just describes the avatar, and on Mastodon it’s “rescuing princesses since tea-time”. Something I thought of for Twitter many years ago. I changed it there eventually, but decided to resurrect it.
I tend to close one social media account when opening another elsewhere. So my huge fanbase can’t follow me. Every place has a different avatar and bio, but all are pretty silly.
