What are the pro's and con's of hiding your activity?

@SW-User Gee, the mature thing to do is to just ignore enemies of friends. Seems a silly thing to hide activity from your friends based upon that reason.

@PoetryNEmotion I have found through experience that it is a practical necessity. I didn't start with it set like that. I guess I'm just immature, oh well 🤷

@RedFreckles tx for BA 🙃

@SW-User @PoetryNEmotion I cant say that is the best stance, [i]Poetry[/i], I have friends on both sides of the left/right spectrum, the gay straight spectrum, the belief ?non belief spectrum.
should I abandon my Baptist pals, because I have Muslim pals? I think not.
I LIKE diversity in my life.

@SatyrService I am open. I have friends who have friends I do not like. I don't hide what I do from others nor what I say. It is my way. I must admit that sometimes when I go to comment upon a friend's posting and I see someone undesirable there too, I simply exclaim to my self on that person's unworthiness and then I leave without offering my words. Each of us has the right to link hands with those we like even if others do not hold those same hands.

you are indeed, poetic..

@SatyrService I am my words, and I am a Poetess. And you, SatyrService, you are a strange bedfellow. I saw you coming. And I shall keep one eye upon you for purposes yet untold.

Ah, [i]detected?[/i] and i work so hard to cloak myself in the rainments of the ordinary, such as My Kind have often had to deal with the pitchforks and torches of outrageous fortune.

careful,, the fastest way to MY heart,
is skill and wit, embodied in art.
and I will keep my eye out too
to learn other things that come from you

@PoetryNEmotion So say I'm friends with two people. I often friend people without vetting them much because whatever. So one day they have a falling-out or some huge war, and one or both of them blocks me or defriends me or forces me to make a choice between them, because the friend of their enemy is their enemy. I came within an inch of losing two friends I really care about because of that, and I don't want it to happen again. Is hiding my friends list in light of that really an immature thing to do?

@SatyrService I possess gifts. So I came here to find your footprints. And le voila, here you came. I see under masks most easily. If I make my way to your heart, it is simply because my words or my ways have done so. I do not toy with people. And you are certainly not the monster that your imagery with pitchforks casts. I see the flames and shadows. I am not afraid of anyone. I anticipate we shall converse closely at some point. Greetings to you, Satyr.

@SW-User I gather friends closely and carefully. I would never ask someone I cherish to choose between me and someone else. I don't have that right. No one should. Freedom is so important and so is choice. No one has ever said to me either choose or has mentioned we share people unliked. My circle has no gaps. It is tight. You must do what you think is correct for you. Perhaps I am of the kind of generation where we are not petty or squabble like unruly children.

@PoetryNEmotion Well you know, people have problems, people can be in rough places. Most of my friends are hurting for one reason or another, it's why I relate to them. God knows I've been in some bad states of mind. I'm not going to abandon them for it.

My circle is not tight, it's an open sprawling tangle of many very different people, which clearly has its drawbacks but I prefer it that way.
