A Tumblr friend asked me for my Skype contact info so we could chat. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It feels a little weird to me and kind of unsafe. But maybe that's just me. Do you give out your Skype info to online friends?

I have, but it's not attached to anything besides a side email. And I constantly forget to open it and actually talk to the people.

I have, but my skype is specifically for online friends. Its not connected to anything else about me irl really. Also I have become very close friends with some people on the internet, so it doesn't bug me giving it to them.

same. I advise having an account that doesn't have too much RL info attached to it; it's generally useful. Then, as you'll become closer to the friends in question, you can tell them more about yourself.

I have, but my Skype isn't really connected to anything about me irl, except my first name and country of residence (which is already listed on my Tumblr sidebar, so not exactly a secret)

Yep. I use it for chat and it only has my city available to view - no other personal info. If I get to be better fandom friends with them, them we might video chat.

No, because I don't ever remember it. D:

Yeah. I don't really use AIM so Skype's my primary chat program.

No. And if I'm honest, I look askance at people who just straight up ask for my info like that. It's not that I think they're a serial killer or something, it's just... whoa too soon, fandom acquaintance. I also prefer a more gradual lead up, lots of online conversation first, a casual, "Hey we should totally skype sometime!" and THEN a mutual agreement to exchange info.

But I'm a little biased because every single time someone's asked me for more personal info, it's been somebody I barely know. I don't know if we mesh well enough to chat, and if we don't, it'll be super awkward.

since tumblr is so hard to communicate on, if i've been chitchatting through reblogs and the occasional message, I'll ask for skype info just because it's easier to communicate that way. sometimes we mesh. sometimes we don't.

Yeah, and that's fine. If I've been talking a lot with someone online and we want to continue the conversation in a easier forum, skype's great. I just get a little weirded out when someone I barely know asks for personal info, because I just don't operate like that.

i haven't, but if i knew them really well i would be okay with it. my skype name is firstname.lastname so i'd be a little more wary in my case

As I don't use Skype except for monthly conference calls, no.

However, my Steam profile is linked on my tumblr.

I don't, but I try to keep my fandom an irl stuff as separate as possible. If I knew them well enough(like on first-name basis) I'd consider it but not just user-name.

I don't have Skype stuff, but if it was my only IM program I wouldn't care about giving it out. It's not like you need a cam for it, and it's not like you're automatically giving them your phone number or other information.

That's the preferred means of communication for tumblr people from what I've found. Everybody just uses fandom-only accounts.

I do. It doesn't do anyone any good right now since my phone's my only way online, and the app overheated my phone, but I don't mind giving it to people. What are they gonna do, hunt me down at home? I have a large dog, two guns, a hunting bow, and a lot of knives. I wish them the best of luck in trying to get into my house uninvited.
