I just blocked a SW user, and another user I was going to block next was blocked by default.

@DeWayfarer I didn't link them myself. Someone must have noticed the connection because both my accounts are named after songs from the same album and both avatars are the singer.

@Bewilderbeeste no, not you! They link it themselves!

@DeWayfarer Who are "they"?

@Bewilderbeeste say ONE person has two accounts. One wxyz the other zyxw. That person can link those two accounts together so they can just switch from one tab to the other with only logging into one account.

That's stupid because certain things gets copied from one account to the other account. Namely Friends, blocks, and mutes.

@DeWayfarer I wonder why people would want to have more than one account on SW? What's the point??? 😐

@helenS They’re not confident in who they are!

@Quimliqer ... or a split personality, perhaps? 😏

@helenS Perhaps!! Low self esteem?

@Quimliqer I could set up another account just to praise my own posts:
"Another excellent post Helen!"
"Your posts are the best, Helen. Really – the finest!"
"I could read you all day Helen!"
"Without your posts, I would have left a long time ago, Helen!"
"Without you, SW would only be half the fun Helen!" 🤭

@helenS For sure!!

@helenS some people might use one account for there less sensitive post such al i like dogs ,family,jobs etc
And a second account account for adult only NSFW,or bdsm nude photos

@helenS we all have split personalities we have real life one and an sw personality that brings out our other side of us

@DeWayfarer oh well there you go

@olderuncle944 Yes that's true. I declared in my "About me" that my online personality, "helenS", and the real Helen, are not the same person, even though there is a significant amount of overlap between the two of us.

@helenS Yes Iagree we cant completely seperate the the two

@olderuncle944 I wouldn't even want to. Certain strains of my personality simply aren't that interesting to others.

@helenS I love the idea to just praise my other posts

@helenS you might be surprised in combination with the other parts might be very interesting

@helenS My personality can be boring also .

@DeWayfarer Hey, Good on them for getting this right so people can't be harassed by sock puppets. Many other platforms mess that up.

@BlueGreenGrey I got this from Nuno himself as well when they started doing the link stuff.

Having said that they may have modified it a bit since then. I don't have another account to say what they have modified.

In can only go by what the admin have publicly said!

I actually have never blocked anyone on here, either, in over almost 8 years that I have been on here.

Since I don't block, I can't know! Only I know what the admin have publicly said!

@olderuncle944 Those strains of your personality which I encountered are certainly not boring 😏

@olderuncle944
Someone wanted me to make a account years ago for my cat! 🤣

I know my cat too well. She only likes me.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
Oh they can do better than just socket puppets. They have publicly said they can block VPN as well.
