@nerthos @why I've been going with this philosophy for years, having my brother and some friends that aren't imbeciles aware of my internet life and sites I hang out on, and meeting with people I've met online if distances allow it after enough closeness. I've also never abused internet immunity to be a dick because I can get away with it, considering that a shameful behaviour, nor I've tried to "act normie" IRL, gladly getting in the same kind of chat I'd get on here with IRL friends and being just as honest. It has never given me any trouble at all, which means an absolute separation is not really needed.
Of course if you're a troll online, and want to pretend to be the most normal guy IRL so everyone likes you, it can never work, but trying to keep two completely different personas based on how consequential a annoying someone by speaking your mind can be in each circle shows a lack of confidence on a person's ideas and worth, and a slight lack of maturity.
