I’ve been doing this for some time now. Even if it’s something that I consider important.
I just don’t see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It’s exhausting and I’ve decided to just opt-out.
I won’t discuss politics, and I won’t share personal info about myself in general
Yeah sometimes I have what might be decent input on a topic but it would then start painting a picture of my profession, so I don’t. That also goes for some questions that I have which I could use help with, but are specific enough that I don’t post them. It’s likely that it doesn’t matter; but the whole “the Internet doesn’t forget” piece is something to be a little careful about, unfortunately
