#realnames — Public Fediverse posts

What is America and what map is it on? I know what North America is and I know what South America is but what is America? There is no such thing as America.

The way “America” is used—especially in media, politics, and pop culture—often erases the presence of Canada, Mexico, and the rest of the continent. It’s a linguistic shortcut that’s become so normalized, it quietly reinforces a kind of U.S.-centric worldview

Anyone here familiar with the #Realnames product from #Hover? Trying to buy a #domain which they've hoovered up for their service and am getting contradictory information as to whether they'll sell #domains if people ask and are willing to pay enough to make the sale viable for them. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@GavinChait News24 shut down comments for a while because things got so bad. Moderation is better these days, but the level of debate can be dire.

I'm still championing #realnames as the only mitigation, but that is hard to sell given economic headwinds and the inherent challenges.

I still use my real name for historical and now largely irrelevant reasons, but if I was younger and getting onto the new, cool as heck, information superdooperhighway then I would just use a consistent pseudonym.

A consistent pseudonym seems to be the optimum sort of interweb handle. Its a balance between familiarity and privacy.

Have to handle names in your professional capacity, this list of assumptions people make about names goes way beyond programming.

Make the world a better place, don't assume first and last name are common or necessary. Have a box, let people fill it in as appropriate for them and make it big enough that a super long name will actually fit (if you're thinking 32 characters is super long, then I have bad news for you).

- There are no #groups, which were a #KillerFeature for Facebook.
- No #BirthdayReminders.
- Most people don't use their #RealNames, so it all feels impersonal. Well, it's all well and good to be a #nymian and choose your own real name, but at least be consistent then, and not have a name for #Mastodon and another for #GitHub and #LinkedIn.
- People aren't sure what to post. Most post links and thoughts. Very few personal diary/updates and selfies, although those might be nice.
