I chose to go nym instead of using my real name for a few reasons. One of which is that governments are increasingly focused on "spreading disinformation" and other "harmful content". They are trying to criminalize something that is entirely subjective and that needs to be interpreted by someone.

Incredibly dangerous that.

There's a principle in lawmaking that terms and concepts should be as clear as possible.

Another reason is because people tend to attack and judge the person instead of what the person is saying. Ad hominem attacks are a cheap tactic and I'd rather not have to deal with them .

If this number eventually gets to a point where it will be open to ad hominems, I'll just create another .

Try opening a number and speaking your mind. It's liberating.
