Because you people get really way too weird when you’re strictly anonymous. Quite frankly the rampant sexual deviancy is a clear example of that. The only reason we dont have more outright racism is because of the guardrails. I rather be transparent about who i am while still maintaining my anonymity than be a weirdo who hides behind a number and 2 letters
Because this is a space I come to talk shit on here and I want yall to know that I am the one who’s talking shit. The goal of the app is to remain anonymous which i am still doing because no one knows who i really am, and yall only know who this moniker is until I decide to change it
“I want y’all to know that I am the one who’s talking shit” is precisely the attitude my post is referring to. it seems like what you get out of your usage of this app is the illusion of being a public figure, even though the majority of the attention you’re absorbing that way is explicitly negative
It’s not an illusion, I am a public figure . Irl the attention I get is pretty positive so idrc if the attention I get on here is negative. It’s just a place to be myself and say what’s on my mind. I just enjoy having my signature be on things . I think ppl who use this app explicitly anonymous are actual weird
“I am a public figure” is, again, exactly the attitude my post was about 💀 feeling the need to forcibly establish yourself as Visible and then scoffing at the majority who use the app as intended, and yet you still choose to spend a lot of time on here rather than in an environment where no one is 100% anonymous you say you don’t really care if the attention is negative, but when people are hostile to you, you react very emotionally.
I don’t think I react emotionally at all, and even if I do, I don’t think being emotional is a bad thing. I’m human after all. You’re saying “forcibly establish” and “as intended” but I think you’re just bothered that other people use the app differently than u do. It’s also not a force to just put a name on. It’s also not a force that people pick up on my posts and who I am.
I mean, the entire point of this app is that you’re interacting with others without knowing who the other person is. that’s always been the case. idk man, what you’re saying clearly doesn’t line up with what you demonstrate about yourself via your own choices / behavior, it’s sort of morbidly fascinating
Idk how long you have been on YY for , but names have always been apart of it. If there were no usernames or post history , or even the ability to follow other users, then you would have an argument, but because we can do all that I would argue that I am using this app the way it is intended more so than you are considering all the features
nah, it’s good to feel emotions rather than aiming for stoicism, but that’s part of why it’s cringeworthy to front like it doesn’t affect you on any level that you receive such a high ratio of rejection and hostility all the time on here. if I were you I would certainly be interested in further unpacking the cluster of cognitive dissonance that is your continued usage of this app
There is no cognitive dissonance. People disagreeing with me or having negative emotion towards me is not my business. I go where I am appreciated and I focus my attention there. I enjoy posting on here for my own personal benefit and that's really all there is to it. Like I said, it's a space for me to talk my shit, and im not weak minded enough to let the musings of sheep besmirch my body 💁🏻
and no, when >75% of posts don’t have a name or pfp attached, you really are Forcing other users to take notice of your presence by choosing visibility. that’s why you do it. you aren’t content with how little you stick out when you aren’t the only one in the room with a name and a face… you’re so desperate to live out the fantasy of being “a public figure” that you even convinced yourself it’s a good thing to stay on stage while you’re being pelted with tomatoes
LMAOO it’s not a force when there are at least 5-10 people who post with their tag on in confessions alone. People like me using their name influence more folk to post with their name on as well. Also, it’s not a fantasy . If you think im this popular on this app and it doesn’t translate to irl then idk what to tell u 🤷🏻 if i turned my name off cuz i didn’t like how people perceived me, what kind of life would that be? shrinking away and hiding behind a mask because ppl don’t like me is sad
also, I’ve commented on this several times now, but you keep deliberately avoiding acknowledging the fact that you are Choosing to spend so much of your time on app where the vast majority of users are totally anonymous. you repeat over and over that you think the anonymity is Weird, but you’re the one deciding to take up space in this environment instead of a different one that’s based in more of a level playing field
Bruh u don’t know what percentage of my time is taken up where or on what apps lol, that’s why I think it’s so funny that your whole thing is that ppl who make themselves publicly known are strange when in reality you’re making baseless accusations off of limited information. I understand u think it’s a lot of info because on here u aren’t seeing anything, but u really don’t know
no no, you’re absolutely right, nothing about the volume of posts and comments you produce indicates that you aren’t simply multitasking. you’ve probably been kissing your girlfriend the whole time you were typing out all these replies, you’re a popular guy irl after all. it’s not that deep, you just like it here… being a public figure comes naturally to you, you stand out organically because you’re unique and interesting, and the haters are just jealous. god bless
