This is why I made 2 accounts, as a bonus I get to make and comment weird stuff on my personal, while I can keep it all adult friendly in the other. Downside is that I almost never touch the second, but I’ll just pretend that the main one is some secret knowledge I can pull out last minute to show off at the interview (jk, they never ask me a single thing about my forges 🥲)
My main motivation is inclusion on my resume, and I’m left mulling over usernames instead of contributing! I also don’t want to be too personally identifiable for whatever random thing I want to chime in on, so maybe bifurcating is a good solution.
Definitely feel like I’ll end up in a similar spot and barely use the “official” one. I do see people with full names and all working on and sharing whatever they please, like through Lemmy. I just wish I had the nads to embrace it and not worry about connecting myself to bs memery. Damn social anxiety. Don’t look at me!
I laughed at “adult friendly” but that’s seriously apt.
oh my goodness, I feel so heard right now, that’s exactly as I always felt, I’m glad I’m not the only human obsessing over these things (well, not meaning that I enjoy your struggle lol).
I also don’t want to be too personally identifiable
I think you could do like some other accounts I’ve seen doing, merging their name and surname in some peculiar way, I did the same, but just for having a sort of unique, easy to use handle, I still keep my actual git username as my real one because I want to be identified with it. You on the other hand could do that and also use the same nickname as the git username. Another system I’ve always liked is to use this neat page on Perchance that generates an adjective-animal couple and they are so convenient for making up random names.
If you go all out and keep one identity and in the clear too, big respect, I don’t do it because I never want to end up in a moment where I wonder “what I’m going to do is a bit in a gray area of acceptable, should I make a new account for this?” as that’s going to break all the continuity that is useful to stay connected with the community. When sioling the two identities, I can do everything with much more peace of mind.I laughed at “adult friendly” but that’s seriously apt.
Very happy that the humor came across 😆
And seeing how exotic/esoteric nix looks to older people, yes apt is way more adult friendly than nixyes apt is way more adult friendly than nix
Lmao, I hadn’t even considered my wording there
I cannot understate my satisfaction that you don’t need any /s to see my jokes (probably because I’m terrible at recognizing them myself), thank you <3
I nearly hedged and over explained like a party pooper, but I fought the urge lol. Great minds think alike ;) (and maybe dysfunction in eerily similar ways?)
Lol understandable. Some days I am glad that I dysfunction
and there’s a weird sex joke in here I’m afraid to touch
edit: there’s a programming joke that instead I would like to touch
