Oct 28, 2026, 10:39 PM@dajb haha! No, more how we put out into the world how we want to be perceived, yet very often without much to back it up.
Especially online. How real are our online personas?

Oct 28, 2026, 10:43 PM@renwillis Well I could discuss/debate this all day (in a good way). There's been a few times in my life where I've casually found out that the way that I *thought* I was coming across was 180-degrees different to how I was actually coming across to that person.
So my conclusion is that, even if we're intentional about how we want to be perceived, it's unlikely that the world will confirm to that wish.

@dajb you see, your problem is you are self aware. 😉
Unfortunately, on the other side of the spectrum are a bunch of holier than thou people presenting in-authentic personas for nefarious reasons.
