there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a FirstName LastName SelfieAvatar user on here, or anywhere
fedi IS cool because not needing to have your account tied to your irl identity is freeing and can aid in self-expression
but have you considered the idea that presenting myself like this is an evolution of my self-expression lol
like... vantablack was my username before vanta rainbow black became my actual name. and i wasn't always happy with how i looked. but shit changes
@vantablack where do i fit here
