    In most cases a pseudonym related to my real name. People I know may recognize it, but I don't care much. For Tildes I just used my real given name because it apparently were free to pick. Twitter...

    Twitter is the only page where I use my full name. I'm not sure why exactly, but the statements, opinions and discussions going on there feels more like a public conversation. And most people I follow there also use their real name. The downside is that I often avoid controversial subjects.

    By using my real name I wouldn't mind if one of my descendants one day after I'm dead find my Twitter and get to know more about me that way. Hopefully they can have a laugh of my crappy hot takes and stupid jokes. Just imagine you could read the day to day thoughts and opinions from your great great great grandparents. Their way to express themselves. Their reaction to historical events. Wouldn't that be cool?
