I'm just wondering how many of us on here keep Tattle a secret?
My friends and boyfriend don't know I'm on here, not because I'm ashamed (trust me, I'd say the things I say on here in front of them too) but the reason I haven't said anything is because I think it's quite nice to have a place where I can be me without people actually knowing it's me. I'm not the most confident, loud or outgoing person, in group situations I'm always the quietest. I think it's because I care too much what people think about me. There's something about being able to say the things I want to say to people who don't know me, without worrying they'll judge me because you don't know who I am. I'm not even sure if I'm making sense but I thought it would be interesting to know how many people keep the fact they're on here a secret!
I used to be a social media tart back in the days of MySpace and early Fb, and I didn't care who knew.
But these days, especially the given the current woke momentum, I am a little more cautious with my coverage, and have subsequently dumped Fb, Twitter, Insta, MySpace and one or two other usual suspects (latest being Digital Spy). So now there's only this site, and perhaps one or two others that I frequent and indulge, but without giving too much away.
My girlfriend is very much the opposite - she love social media, and is quite indiscreet at times with her revelations that are supposed to be our little secrets. So not for the first time have we come to blows in terms of what we choose to reveal on social media or not. She spends far too much time flitting between her different SM sites to the point where I wonder if she's losing touch with reality and finds more satisfaction through the interactions and dramas of social media!
But I prefer to keep sites such as this close to my heart. I don't like the faux dramas, I don't like the thousands of "friends"; I don't like the politics behind how some SM sites operate.
I have only been a member of Tattle for a couple of weeks, and appears to tick most of those boxes, along with one or two others.
Anyway, I appear to have waffled on and on
