A big part of who I am was enabled by Internet anonymity when I was growing up allowing me to put myself out there on thoughts and topics I was interested in and seeing how it was received. I fear later generations don't have that benefit -- social media ties your real name to your online activity and the alternatives created are usually the badlands and dark places with people who legitimately have something to hide.

I believe spaces like Discord and Substack and other small, localized community apps are returning that old me-development space. I hope it lasts.
