Imagine Reddit does this next lmao one day you open up and all your real life social media are linked to your u/Lick_My_Fuckhole profile, your coworkers see you as "people you may know" on their profiles. Neat
Didn't Google+ do that?
It's been so long since that debacle I honestly don't remember.
YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name
wtf that's a terrible decision lol
Looks like they prodded but didn’t unilaterally force.
Worse, StarCraft tried it lol. Major blizzard fuckup
Facebook did it as well, maybe a couple years after opening up to the non university crowd. Neither FB at the time or G+ years later gave any thought that their no pseudonym policies put someone's safety at risk.
Google+ was a Facebook-like social media. It was only ever supposed to be real names, so no issue.
I mainly use reddit now for porn. Maybe a good way to get into a freak fetish ring...
The only fetish subreddit I followed was banned. There was not even any nudity.
Fuck Reddit.
At least my coworkers will know how I really feel.
