🍉 Albert 🍉the opposite is also true. online I’m more talkative and confident, IRL I’m shy as fuck from lifelong trauma and masking. my online me and IRL me might as well be two different people.
explodicleLemmy’s lack of total karma has only increased this effect for me. I just write whatever is on my mind because the Fediverse needs more stuff and there aren’t even digital consequences.
there are people who when let loose in an RPG are good because we would feel bad if we hurt an NPC’s feelings.
i think that’s the majority of people.
I treat online spaces like that. there’s no cost of being good, unlike IRL.
That’s not the opposite. It just the same thing in a different form. Offline you mask and online you don’t need the mask. Racist do the same exact thing.
The difference is that at their core they are deplorable and you are not. The masking is the shared trait.
yhea, it’s the same unmasking, one is just then being assholes and other is being good.
