RESEARCH POLL #207

A year out, when the Fediverse is everywhere among business, government, family, school and friends, will you always be comfortable with things like: 1) contacting and discussing personal matters, 2) reaching out to agencies for help, or 3) yammering about a weird interest or hobby in front of your entire social graph of followers? Or will you prolly do what many on Twitter did: use another account just for things you don't want to over-share with your main social network?

I'd want a less-public account for ONLY this.

@shoq Yeah, I mean, I love my job, think the world of the folk I work with, it's mostly a top-notch, A-1 organization, but the 'social media' policy amounts to, 'don't do anything online that'd make us look bad.'

'we'll know it when we see it.'

And so, I use a pseudonym.

@RufusJCooter Yes, I specifically avoided the workplace issue as I figured that's almost intuitive for most people and covered by the the "many reasons" choice.
