Reflecting on why I’ve never made a twitter alt (despite feeling familiar with what @aaronzlewis describes here). I suspect it’s because I’m fairly comfortable with seeming incoherent on twitter. I see connections among the topics I discuss but probably most followers don’t?
It's not necessarily about coherence so much as safety I think. Some parts of your self are harder to let out in public when the consequences will rebound on you directly. Coherence is one aspect of that but there are others.
And even when it's stuff you could talk about in public it can be helpful to lower the cost of talking about it, or to talk with different people than you otherwise would.
Yes, these are good points and definitely true. I basically only discuss the-stuff-you-can’t-say with my spouse. On the whole, I don’t think I have anything useful to say about it. I guess if I had anything to contribute, I’d create an alt for the purpose!
I get grumpy enough about some of it that I kinda want a void to scream into that doesn't annoy friends and partners or that they can read as and when they feel like it. But yeah totally reasonable not to need that.
Yes I suspect everyone feels that way! “How can most people on the internet be SO WRONG?!?!?!” is the distinctive feature of contemporary life
