I was hoping people would be better about not interacting with the account if they weren't ready. You're dealing with the id and no super-ego and people do not handle that well, both in terms of the user and who they are speaking to. However, I will say that Hubski has a highly rewarding system for people who produce popular ideas, even though they may be incorrect. You gain followers, and those followers have a responsibility to challenge you, but they might not. As long as you're surrounded by people who agree with you, you won't be challenged often enough. Hive minds develop in echo chambers and I don't want to name names, but there are clearly certain opinions in circles that are exacerbated by the circle's members. There has to be a jester in the court. That's what the anonymous user can be.
Just because someone agrees with one comment that I made or one post that I put up doesn't mean they agree with me all the time or even most. I think there is an assumption here that because someone may follow you because they agreed with you a few times, that means they are going to agree with you all the time. I have had disagreements with many hubski members I am quite agreeable with most of the time, kleinbl00, thenewgreen, nowaypablo, right off the top of my head. Just because I agreed with you once or 10 times does not mean I'll agree with you again tomorrow. All it means, really, is that when you say something that doesn't jive, I'll think about it more thoroughly and respond more politely than I would if I've never had a good conversation with you.
There is a certain inevitability that comes with groups. Confirmation bias is a fundamental part of being human. That's what culture is. It is up to the individual to travel, and seek unpopular opinion.
Are you asking if I have a different handle on another site? I only use Hubski, under this account. Maybe it's because I write like a robot.
