Violet (my birth flower) + 08 (my birth year). Pretty basic.

  • I don’t need to remember my username. Nor do I need to identify with it. In my ideal world, being online would be completely anonymous, with absolutely no way for the government to censor or identify a person. But we don’t live in an ideal world. So to make it harder for groups like Palantir or the FBI to identify me, I compartmentalize all my digital activity. New names and identities for every service I use. No contact or overlap between them.

      Well I respect that, absolutely. I just don’t think I could do it.

      And I don’t know, I guess I have a hard time letting go of reputation, like as a general concept. If you don’t retain some identity online, you lose that aspect of reputation.
