this being the comment in which anon rants like it's 1894

...I never got into LJ. The whole exhibitionistic put-your-life-on-the-Internet thing turned me off from the beginning, even when it was in its larval stage. Now, with things like Facebook and Google basically taking over a person's whole life (literally), it freaks me out completely. I'm not lost, OP, I AM TOTALLY PARANOID. It's horrifying. If you get caught in the background of somebody else's picture just because you're standing outside, minding your own business, suddenly you're on the Internet, and anyone who wants to find you, can. (Look up Facebook's brand-new "auto-tagging" "feature.")

There are Very Bad people who I DO NOT WANT TO FIND ME, Internet. Stop trying to upload me without my knowledge OR my consent, kthxbye.

The thing that I liked about LJ was the various privacy levels, so you could choose who could read your life-on-the-internet. Tumblr and Facebook and Google is just HELLO HERE YOU ARE LET US NOTIFY EVERYONE EVERYWHERE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I do not like it.

This. I picked a username for a reason, Google and Youtube and even freaking AIM. Stop trying to force my "real" name -- which half of you don't actually have -- into everything I do online.

This is the reason why I am just a teensy tiny bit peevish at my brother (who reads fanfic, so I thought he understood the internet a bit) has a Facebook account in his Real Life name.

The only accounts I still have my RL name on are PayPal and the bank, while everywhere else has either Mimi Sardinia or MajinBakaHentai, or some variation on those, or is an RP account.

I don't even use my brother's name when I talk about him online, I always call him "Grey" (short for "Greyknight"), only noooooooo! He has to have his effin' RL name on FB!

Sorry for the rant.

ITA. I don't use my real name on Google or any fandom-based thing, only on Facebook and a couple other small things. I'm glad I don't on Google because Google spews its shit everywhere. I had to get a new account for it, but worth it.

Google and Facebook both have huge problems with privacy imo. :/

I totally white-out with rage over the google-plusification of youtube. STOP ASKING ME TO CONNECT MY ACCOUNTS. I DON'T WANT TO CONNECT ACCOUNTS. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT EITHER. I WANT YOUTUBE TO STAY ON FUCKING YOUTUBE.

Are you talking about LJ or tumblr? Because it was easy to never have your personal stuff show up on LJ or to anyone you didn't want to see it. Tumblr is the one that has essentially zero privacy controls. You can post something and set privacy controls but anyone who sees it can share it out publicly. That's why so many of the old LJ users who grudgingly followed fandom to tumblr don't make personal posts and still use their LJ for personal entries.
