Me and Sobi were talking on Discord a few hours ago and he asked me "are you different irl than online?"
This is actually a really good question, because it got me thinking about how different people treat the anonymity and other differences between the internet and the real world. Obviously there are going to be differences, but I'm kinda interested to know about different people.
Personally I think I probably change less than a lot of people do. Like, I'm slightly more confident than normal but I retain my standard IRL values and am about as chatty as I am irl (granted it's slightly easier to start a conversation on discord or whatever). I tend to shy away from being mean to people online if I can, granted I do occasionally, but I know there are a lot of people who are definitely meaner online than they are IRL, and I also try to keep away from internet culture because my attitude to them is heavily influenced by my attitude towards the same stuff IRL.
What about other people? I'm genuinely very interested in the types of responses I'll see.
