Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no “hacking” could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?
And don’t think about changing your name, or moving, all this info updates in real time. (for “magic” reason)
(You also cannot delete any future posts.)
Meh. My real world would know what my digital world already knows, that I’m much more of a nerd than I portray myself as.
It’s not because I purposefully hide it. It’s because it’s not a topic that is interesting to anyone in my real world circle of friends. I don’t have real world friends who want to talk about Linux, and Open Source, and retro-video games, and all of the other stuff that I ramble on about online in forums where the peeps who understand me all hang out.
There’s probably some very surprising porn habits in there as well that my real world friends and family would have NO CLUE about, but c’est la vie.
Meh. A whole bunch of cringe posts from twenty years ago will show how much I’ve grown since I was 19. Some more recent arguments I got tired of will rear their ugly heads. But I generally try to be the same person online as offline, and that person isn’t particularly controversial, at least around the circles I run in.
But there would be a lot of people who would be in bodily danger.
Nobody cares about growth. Cancelled!
I’m not. My real, full name is already on certain web accounts right next to “Tattorack”, which is the online handle I use everywhere.
Im not fucked because nobody gives a shit about me. If people actually start looking me up, it’ll probably create the most traffic to my art pages I’ve ever had.
Not fucked. Of course I have some cringy stuff on MySpace from when I was in my early teens. But generally speaking, over the last two decades or so I don’t post anything I wouldn’t be OK with everyone finding out about
Noooo it was sooo difficult to find how to delete my Facebook account. With warnings like “people losing Facebook often loose their social life, are you really sure?”. And now my nearly empty page is back you say? Cringe.
But I’m not fucked, I try to treat people online like I treat people in real life, like I want people to treat me. I’m not scared of a heated discussion but I prefer to stay civil. So if people want to look me up, that’s fine, I make great coffee.
I only have issues with people who do not respect my boundaries so I prefer to keep them out of my life. But my mom already knows where I live, so still no harm done when my address is posted online.
Just me? Or everyone, everywhere, all at once?
everyone, everywhere, all at once
Lol. Its just you.
(is that a reference to the movie?)
doubt something would happen
All that typing doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.
Not all that much, as I already use my real name. I tend to only post things that I believe in, and I’ve never really been one to hide my feelings from people.
The only thing that would change is that people are gonna know I’m a bit less straight than I say that I am… Though I generally live life/post things, knowing it can never be deleted once it’s posted on the internet so… Not much would change really.
I wish it was true that nothing can be truly deleted on the internet. The reality is so very much has been posted and long since lost. There are some things I wish I could find traces of, but are likely lost to the vastness of the internet. Of course, you should treat everything like it cannot be deleted, but the reality is many things can, and have been, entirely deleted.
I stand behind everything I’ve ever said. I’ve been posting for years with the mindset that what OP is describing will some day be reality. I might not be correct about everything but I’ve always been honest. I look forward to that day and all the hypocrites being exposed.
Depends on the statute of limitations on drug trafficking I guess.
I should be reasonably ok… I think. Sure, there were a few instances where I, uh… let the internet anonymity get to my head, and… used sarcasm. But it’s past me, I swear. Reckless acts of a younger man.
But it’s past me, I swear. Reckless acts of a younger man.
Yeah, it’s crazy how much a person can change in 20 minutes.
Meh. Only the NSFW stuff I guess, but nothing that I wouldn’t tell someone if they really wanted to know.
But I stay off Facebook because I’m not interested in having an online presence or profile, so I guess in the sense of suddenly being thrust into that world at all, not related to the content I’ve posted just the literal online presence - that would bother me more, and the threat of violence or crime from being more visible like that.
Ya’ll are gonna have to travel pretty fucking far to fight me. Welcome to the Tundra.
