Is vertigo22 a real identity or a fake one?

>The average person does not interact with the internet in the same way that people on this forum do

How other "average" people (am I not average too?) choose to use the internet is irelevant to everyone needing to doxx themselves online from now on.

But what about ones with malicious comments breaking HN rules like yours?

You're beating it around the bush not answering the question.

Whose the one deciding what the truth is?

Whose identity is being faked?

I always grew up with the assumption that everything on the internet is most likely fake.

That girl you're talking to? Probably a dude. The Nigerian prince asking for money. Probably a scammer.

Unless it's a government website with secure ID login, every account you see online is probably fake.

Except that if you're not anyone's family and not in university anymore then you're shit out of luck as people in their 30s already have their social circles already completed and don't have space, time and energy to add new strangers when they barely have free time to hang out with their existing clique.

Ha, I can only wish. Maybe true if you live in NYC, SF, Berlin or London.

But most of these don't exist or help with socializing and making new connections where I live (medium sized European university city).

Everyone here only hangs out with their family and school/university mates and that's it. Any other available events are either for college students or lonely retirees but nothing in between.
