I honestly don't get why people get obsessed with 'famous' people, at the end of the day they're just people. There's nowt special about them.
I prefer to try and be as 'anonymous' as possible online, I see no reason for people to know my real name, what I look like or where I live when all we're doing is chatting shite about what bus is on the 21 today, or how much I dislike the location of the white stripe on the new X30 livery.
But then again, if you looked through all my posts on here, you can probably work out near enough where I live by what buses I say I use and what areas I complain about the GNE app not working in. Heck, I've probably given enough detail in my posts to identify me if you were to see me on the bus that I say I travel on (and no, that's not a challenge!)
It's like I find it strange that some people I know will burn any letter with their name and address on instead of throwing it out, but then post pictures of their house, their car, their kids in their school uniform on Instagram for the whole world to see.
As for what you said about regretting posting on social media, I'm sick and tired of seeing people apologising for things they posted on Twitter 10 years ago.
If I posted something racist on Twitter back then, chances are I still believe it now, why pretend that I've 'changed' and 'see things differently now'.
There are 2 kinds of people in this world, people who do bad things, and people who pretend they don't do bad things.
I ain't a fan of the celeb obsessed culture either. Those who have been members on here for longer will remember that I used to have some level of anonymity to begin with all my bus accounts just being 'Jimmi' but if you take pics with a DSLR camera you do start to get recognised haha, eventually I decided to join Facebook and made my true identity know within the community which I did as I wanted to interact more with members of the enthusiast community and for the most part I'm pleased I did as have gotten to know more people over the years and made friends which is great for a shy loner like me lol, although I share snippets of my life on social media I don't share every detail of my personal life although you can only hide so much for so long especially as enthusiasts as nosey as owt myself included haha
