I just think it's ironic you're making this argument on an anonymous forum. You've got the sense not to put your telephone number in this thread because you'd exchange the squirt gun of IRL conversation for the firehose of even as small (compared to the r-hug of death, for instance) an internet source as Lemmy.
No, I'm just a bit paranoid and I don't want any white supremacist islamophobe to shank me. Or even hack me or whatever. I don't win anything from it. But I argue this way IRL comfortably because at least I can tell if the person in front is a maniac or not, lol. You don't know if I have social media where I am posting away the things I post here too... I don't, btw, cause I get it all out IRL and social media just means my friends unknowingly ragebait me with their uncooked takes, but I could've! Finally, if Lemmy was a site where everyone had to give their phone number to participate, then sure, we'd all be on the same level, but randomly giving my number here? ๐ค
