I wish Newgrounds had a Bruh reaction so I could use that for this comment.

"Try searching online for how to get a free temp phone number. Google offers free phone service as part of hangouts that calls your computer.

Google Voice requires some kind of phone service like a landline phone and Hangouts does not offer a phone number unless I did my research poorly.

"When you first left twitter, why didn't use the opportunity to recommend another platform? Its sounds like you recently built up your following, so why not just get a new twitter, repeat but slow it down a little?
You'd have do a lot of work to look like bot, as I've replied to tons of post with similar content worded slightly different. That or they change the algorithm to target something you did or they just want you phone number to sell."

Well, I never really left Twitter. I changed my mind. I also did not get much feedback on the platform for awhile, so I felt like I wouldn't be missed at the time. I'm not starting a new Twitter account. I invested 11 years into the same account that could get locked out on me at any point like my main account.

"When using social media, you should be redirecting people to your main account where you host content (if you make money from only fans then that's where you point them). That said, there other places beside twitter & you should use them all, including here. Try gab, what's app, tick tock, minds, medium, porn hub, everywhere."

Tried Gab and the platform was full on Nazis. My main account also got no activity what's so ever, which made it seem like a waste of my time. What's App and Tik Tok don't interest me at all, especially since they pander to cell phone users and I use social media with a desktop computer. Minds and Medium don't interest me a whole. I made accounts there and didn't find them very useful for my purposes. PornHub doesn't interest me at all. I used OnlyFans as an example mainly to point out bad website design.

"Nothing wrong with being anonymous on social media. Unless your really popular no one is going to care. I've included links in my resume to my youtube channel, but have realized that no one clicks those links, as they don't have time. I've had a few people google my real name & find my linkedin profile but fortunately no one has ever read my post cause the all are impress by my experience. Only insane activist & the FBI really put effort into unmasking us, but both groups have the networks to unmask us. Point is, keep work & play accounts separate, unless really popular or running for office."

I was mainly being anonymous temporarily because I didn't want to screw up a potential job opportunity with my edgy tweets. Since I'm not looking for a local job right now due to the pandemic, I'm less paranoid about that atm. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Some people followed me, but I was getting limited activity in terms of user engagement for awhile. I improved the way I was using the website and got more engagement both from longterm followers and new followers.

I'm not against using Google Voice, but they won't let me use their service without phone service. I tried that option earlier today and was unsuccessful. I also don't want to waste money on a burner phone.

I tried a lot of platforms and stuck to the ones I liked. I made accounts on a lot of the websites you mentioned and didn't like a lot of them.

I plan to get another job in the future, but right now, the main reason why I was staying anonymous was to be extra paranoid while looking for work. I'm not looking for a local job right now, so I'm less paranoid about that sort of things right now.

Building an audience primarily to get more people to hear my perspective on Twitter. Figured I'd promote stuff there when I had stuff worth promoting.
