Have you shared your own posts from platforms like this (or Mastodon) with others you know offline (besides your partner)?

I don't promote promote Lemmy to anyone because of all the propaganda. Lemmy.ml, Hexbear, etc

I will if it ever gets cleaned up, I love the idea of the fediverse

I would but no one would be interested

I share pots, replies, and links just like I did with reddit to my friends, co-workers, and family. Generally I work to keep the stuff im linking to appropriate for the target audience.

Nope.

Not even with my partner.

And I don’t creep on hers. That’s just awkward, and any case… anything I might be interested in… that’s why they invented burner accounts.

That doesn’t mean I don’t share the thought behind comments/posts, but I’m not showing them my posts.

I share screenshots of my comments on posts to my sister all the time.

Is this part of your sibling goofing routine?
- It is now.

I may tell people about a post but I would not share the post with them directly. I intend to keep my online handles a secret from people I know IRL.

The rogue in my d&d group made a PowerPoint presentation to me, the DM, about why she should be allowed to run an orphan powered criminal underground. I posted one of the slide on Mastodon and she wanted to see other's comments on it so I linked it to the group. It's the only time Mastodon has ever came up outside of talking to my partner about it lol

Rarely. When i do, i crop my name. I almost made a post about something that happened to a friend today, but changed my mind because i assume her husband is here.

Edit-typos

Oh geez. What did my wife do this time?
- Left a school building (mostly offices with a few kids sometimes) during a lockdown to meet her little kids at home for school bus dropoff - other family and friends were unavailable. The official notice was just NOT A DRILL, but outside source said it was due to shots fired in the neighborhood. I think she made the right decision (look around, open door, close door, walk to car) but I'm sure she'll get a beatdown at our next staff meeting. Wondered what others thought.

Yes, those that are relevant to her interests. I am not going to show her my !talesfromtechsupport@lemmy.world stories but I will show here the cat pics before uploading them.

I make regular jokes about my wife and run it by her for approval. And I bring my laptop over to show pictures.N junk.

Hell yeah. I'm hilarious and the world deserves to know.

No, mainly because if you sort posts by new here it's in large majority nothing anyone I know wants to see, and I don't want them to think that's what I'm here for.

No, but it wouldn't bother me if people I know IRL see them and recognise me. It's happened a couple of times before (on Reddit).
