Incog

Completely depends on the type of post. If it’s an incognito asking for advice and support for something like domestic abuse, child endangerment, shoot even stuff like cosleeping and formula feeding I get it because I know they just want to be anonymous because of how brutal others can be online while still receiving advice. If it’s an incognito feigning innocence and open mindedness while posting rage baity type of stuff usually political then I have less empathy then if they’d have said it with their face

I find as a poster people show more compassion when you post with your real identity. I’ve posted about the same situation as incognito and myself and the responses are noticeably different.

Sometimes I don't understand why the post is incognito. But I don't respond differently either way. But I tend to be pretty particular as to what I respond to and more so if it's incognito.

I think I’m MORE sensitive to incognito as I interpret it as they’re sharing something so vulnerable to them that they don’t feel comfortable showing face. Unless it’s the OBVIOUS troll kind of posts, then I generally approach it very gently.

I don’t think I am rude or mean but I am more blunt than I think I am otherwise.

I posted anonymously before so the post wouldn’t show on my bio! I found some mutual friends here that don’t know the situation that I was venting about. I have the same empathy for both.

i feel when i post incog- i rarely get any involvement or responses even if it is about struggling with something however if i post as me they get a lot more support xx

Depends on the situation

@Emette I mean, I think it’s great you are admitting and working on it.

I definitely treat the posts different. Most of the time I just don't reply to incog. But I think part of that is the lack of info they give ... My kid blah blah blah, but no mention of the kids age. I can't be bothered to ask for more info, wait for a reply, etc when they can't be bothered to give a full story or say who they are. I also think incognito is overused and alot of those posts could be done as the person.

I don't even look at who posted unless theres a conversation going on and the poster is responding a lot. I am much more likely to respond to something that I have experience in if there are few comments which I guess means I'm actually more likely to respond if someone posts incognito. I know how I feel if people ignore things I've said when I need advice or out of the box thinking and maybe something I've tried will help someone else.
