Though, I never understood why you’d join Facebook and shelter details from everyone else. I understand the need keep certain things secret – but why don’t you just choose to not include them on your profile?
I’m not knocking you for you choice to keep certain things secret, I’m really not. But the anonymity of the internet is both gone and stronger than ever. If someone really did want to track you down, find out who you are and whatnot, they can easily do so. With or without Facebook.
Maybe I just assumed Fluther was more a social site – one that catered to those who have a thirst for knowledge. I felt that the communal aspect was it’s strongest feature. It’s just a bit surprising to see people… afraid? Afraid of what people might think, afraid that they may stalk them, afraid that their presence they’ve built up might be shattered if someone saw their profile.
I dunno. Correct me on this.
