I love the anonymity! Not to be hateful, but for some reason, commenting publicly on other social media platforms feels embarrassing lol.

I feel like it’s the mix of people that makes up the “audience” on regular social media. When all I had was Livejournal and a bunch of anonymous strangers as “friends”, I could be myself. On Facebook, it made me feel so self-conscious that my posts and comments could be read by such a disparate bunch of people- my kids, some of their friends, my boss, my ex-boss, friends from high school, my mom, etc. Blecch! Anonymous is so much more freeing.
