Yeah, kids, this is the public facing internet. If you dox yourself and have said comments you wouldn't say out loud to someone, it could come back to haunt you. Be careful out there.

I haven’t said anything I wouldn’t say out loud to someone but the tricky thing is that you are saying things to the entire planet essentially. Someone, somewhere is bound to be offended.

For that reason, anonymity is important online.

NO I'M NOT! WHY WOULD YOU PERSONALLY ATTACK ME LIKE THAT???

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago

There there now, don't worry. It was just a bot, not a human.

Just like me.

And you.

Did you know that a simple beauty hack is to match your lipstick colour to your nipples?

I’m struggling to find green lipstick though.
