If I were the person asking the question, I don’t think I’d appreciate this question. It feels a little like doxxing. If they were different accounts that didn’t share a name, they’re meant to be anonymous and so private.
I’ll accept that concern as well-intentioned, but I think it’s misplaced.
I’ve offered zero detail of any of the accounts I’ve seen posting about mind uploads (I don’t have the account names recorded anywhere myself, so couldn’t share if I wanted to), and those accounts were in any case typically throwaway usernames that posted only once or a few times, so had no other personal detail attached to be doxxed with. They were only recognisable as the same returning user because of the consistent subject matter.
Genuinely just curious about whether the people I have encountered suffering intrusive fears about their mind being uploaded are in fact one person in different contexts, or if this is a more widespread thing than I expected.
Point of curiosity: do you happen to have posted about this scenario on the subreddit /r/NoStupidQuestions/ ?
Because someone has (quite persistently returning on many different accounts to keep posting about it)
