You guys, I seriously cannot figure out how to use this Google Plus thing.

Do I create two separate accounts, one with my real name and one with my fannish name? I really can’t see myself bothering to maintain/read both, especially since I’d mostly be using the app on my phone (where I do most of my “fun” internet these days since I’m always at work and the work internet is super-filtered) and I don’t think the Android app has the multi-login feature.

And I really can’t see Google Plus becoming a fannish platform, since they’re trying to enforce a real-names policy, and they have an anti-porn policy. Plus what if we all put lots of effort into creating accounts there and then we get deleted for being pseudonymous anytime someone grudgewanky reports us?

On the other hand, most of my fannish friends seem to be joining it under their fannish names, and I feel really weird adding fandom friends from my real name.

And if it does become a fannish platform, I want to be able to fully participate, not censor myself because the account is under my real name.

*sigh*

What to do?
