But it doesn't really tell much and I sure don't care if anyone can read my feeds or who I'm friends with. I haven't been bothered a bit here like that. I asked more out of curiosity than anything else. Just don't see the why of it here.
I wasnt on ask as long as the rest of you were , Virginia :) think joined about under a year before closed. I did have one woman on there who would make multiple accounts there to harass me and try get me kicked off Cos she knew I'd lose my shizit when she provoked me ...So I could see that being a valid reason. I don't feel this site is like that though :)
yes, I do feel safer here, even more than Ask...and they took lots of precautions. I talked with Dozy about that, and he suggested it might be that people here are older than the other sites, and just don't give as much a shizit about harassing/controlling others...Let It Be kinda attitude or something...
Yeah :) I like that about this site. I felt safest on blurt it obviously , mostly cos I was friends with everyone there and rooster and Angela were moderating ... But I don't feel like there's anyone here who will attack me either. Ask was bad for that.
I think it's mostly a habit people have from sites that have more detailed profiles. I assume some do it because they don't want to deal with people they don't know commenting on their profile wall. Others likely just don't want people to be able to troll them by looking at the profile page looking for their comment activity even though the main page serves a similar function for those who stalk-troll.
