Why are there so many fake profiles here?

Each user has their own reason for being here. In my case it is part of my search for and invention of the most authentic self. So everything I post is real. But for others the reason is to have fun and for a few to cause upset. Multiple accounts suit some people; they don't suit me, it's hard enough being me without trying to be 62 people.

I have ONE account. It's all just ME. My profile page is so loaded up that people's eyes must cross when they visit it.

It all has to do with the KIND of person you are, I guess. Honest people don't ever WANT to be fake.

my birth name was Lily. i was kidnapped and became Joy. other than that all of the things i have said are true to me. how can you tell someone is fake?

I don't think it's just here. Facebook has a lot of clones. I am convinced about 50% of social media is fake.

I don't understand the reason(s) anyone would have an alt account? The only reason I can imagine would be to deceive others.

It takes work to find the real ones. It's worth it though.

Now this is what SW is all about😄

i am getting hit up by fake profiles too. i know who the ones that hit my political posts but i had more today

Would you say that Ophelia was a fake profile? I mean she didn't exist, she was pure fantasy.

What is fake, again?

It's like instagram with profiles with no posts lol

Wait. How do we know you’re not a fake?
