It is interesting chatting with SWeeps who have a fictional persona and stick to it.

However, I think it would only be fair to have a label for "alt" accounts. There could be a pretty logo, and it could link to standard information, something like: "this is a fictional persona. Photos are not me. On this account, I am always in character."

Cause otherwise, deliberately or not, having an alt account can turn into catfishing. 🐱🐠

PS - I think it is hilarious that my spellchecker does not recognize the word "catfishing". What internet do[b] you [/b]live on, spellchecker?

Not all alt accounts are to play a different character though. I’m not fake on my alts, I just like being anonymous there

I applaud their dedication

But would people abide by it?

@ServantOfTheGoddess You and I have had many conversations about this over the years that we've been in touch. I think both our opinions on the subject have morphed with time. 🙂

@sarabee1995 I do enjoy morphing with you ☺️

I wonder what ever happened to MisterDang?

I imagine he was someone's alt but God knows who

I wonder whatever happened to those "kids" who claimed there were real werewolves?
If I had an alt I would text left handed.

If they're pretending to be a fake person then they're already upto something nefarious.
@Teirdalin There are people who state that they’re into "roleplay". Is it nefarious if a disclaimer exists ? You then have the option to engage or not
ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
@Teirdalin Not if they're up front about it -- I think.

I think the warnings on this alt account of mine are clear but does anyone read them? 😒
Poppies · 61-69, F
@PirateQueen You mean you are not really a pirate queen? 😟
That poster blocked me. I hadn’t thought I’d said anything offensive—there [b]are[/b] people here who roleplay, and I don’t think they necessarily mean anything nefarious by it, though admittedly I don’t understand what it [b]is[/b] about.

@bijouxbroussard I didn't think you said anything remotely offensive either.
I'd absolutely be willing to do that with Corvus, for the record.

The site iorbix that merged here are most all role players and pretend there that person
ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
@Lilnonames So they definitely should have a warning label for those who aren't part of their subculture and don't know that. They probably wouldn't mind, if it is something all of them take for granted.
Lilnonames · F
@ServantOfTheGoddess yes i believe they and they person they play are real to them
