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?

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

@Teirdalin Not if they're up front about it -- I think.
