I've changed my mind about hating this April 1st (and continuing) shake up of usernames. I sometimes exercise caution towards a post because of who the user is, whether because I like them (positive) or because I think they are a lunatic (negative). For a short time, we get to see some true opinions based not upon who the messenger is, but because of their content. It should be interesting to go back and see who we responded to and who responded to us.

Anyone agree with this sentiment?

Also, I had to eventually make a question since this is "AskPoal." I don't know the correct subverse to just make a meta observation about Poal.

I don't like it, stealing identities it is. If it continues like this you will not see me here anymore.

100% agree. It needs to stop. I suspect it will. I just liked it as an exercise.

I do believe that was the first comment I made, something like, "I'm out of here because of this bullshit." Then I thought about it.

Voat.xyz! Goats must organize!

E: We can do both, right? Mehheheeh!
