I am so confused by this. Do y'all have like, separate journals/tumblrs/twitters for RL and fandom? And I'm not talking like a fandom run shipping tumblr/journal whatever yeah fine, keep real life stuff out of that, but peoples' personal pages...

Idts, but there is a small vocal segment of people that insists we should?

If blocking every mention of politics works out for OP though, good for them.

So I guess this hasn't been my experience, but in your experience, most of the wankers you see are people you know RL and consider compelled to follow?

I mean I guess on like... Facebook, but your Tumblr and Twitter is full of wankers you know from your RL life?

For me, IIRC, MySpace was more about IRL me existing online. Had my friends and classmates on my friends list and interacted with them much similarly as I did IRL.

LiveJournal and forum sites were much more strictly for fandom. Most of the people I knew IRL weren't into online fandoming or were in fandoms I wasn't into.

So I relatively began to see online stuff as more hobbyist stuff, not so much social media is the online representation of "me" as a human being.

Facebook never appealed to me because for a while MySpace was more fun to be on but when MySpace began to die out, a lot of my fandom friends were on FB and they were friend requesting small time celebrities. Shared some dumb shit those celebs were posting. I created a FB profile to stay connected to my fandom friends since the forums spaces we were on were dying out. I generally tried using FB as a small glimpse into my RL but also a small bit of my fandom interests. When people I knew IRL began friend requesting me I used FB less and less, never a place I posted on a lot.

So generally speaking I tended to split up my online ID.
Twitter started out similarly to FB. Most of my IRL friends weren't into Twitter and slowly I saw fandoming become more prevalent there. It eventually became my main fandom ID. It was me, I didn't hide my name or age, but the majority of what I used Twitter for was for fandom stuff. And then I deleted my Twitter account because by 2021 I was using it less and less. Fandoming sucked on there, Villain of the Day BS was getting tired, Musk buying the thing made the place worse and worse so I deleted my account once I realized Twitter wasn't a fun or interesting place anymore.

I never really used LJ but my friends used it a lot. As it died out, friends on LJ moved to Tumblr. Tumblr's formatting was really ugly and not fun to scroll for me so even though my fandom friends were super into it I didn't join it. Until Twitter began to suck ass. I joined Tumblr way past its' prime and it's OK. It's a space where I mostly repost fandom stuff and DM my fandom friends.

All this to say, I don't think people use socials in the same ways and everyone approaches their online ID and/or fandom ID differently.

I personally find it hard not to engage in some form of politics no matter what you do.
Also, some stuff is way more engaging when it's stuff I can enjoy with others. Sometimes with IRL friends, sometimes moreso with fandom friends.

I think it's interesting for people who can both have their IRL ID be part of their fandom ID (like YouTube creators for example).

Most social medias don't/never appeal(ed) to me because I generally see online stuff as more hobbyist/fandom stuff. Anything outside of that is boring/uninteresting to me.
In terms of politics...I suppose only so much of it can be a thing online, because politics affects our every day lives so it's bound to break the barriers for me and...it can become exhausting to engage with.

... yes? Why wouldn't you?

AYRT

Because I'm not keeping two journals, two twitters, two facebooks, two instagrams lol. Ain't nobody got that kind of energy. Plus most of my "RL" friends were friends made in fandom in some way, so it doesn't make sense to me to split them.

[(Anonymous)]

No, why would I?

[(Anonymous)]

*looks at the above two comments* Two types of people, huh.

[(Anonymous)]

I never had one for RL, only fandom. Had no interest in posting random pieces of information about myself or the world. I used them to escape reality, not preach about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a blog for RL stuff but I keep it locked down to the people I actually know in RL who would care about what goes on in my real life. I've added some friends I've made in fandom when I actually got the chance to meet them IRL, but the idea of sharing that kind of thing with people you don't actually know is just weird to me.
