Is your online persona the same on every website?

I always act the same online... and it is the same as I act in real life!
In fact when I type in a forum like this, I literally just type what I am thinking, as if I was saying it, and rarely change it! If I do change it then it tends to sound too formal, and a bit strange, so I just go with the flow to make it sound better!

I don't really frequent other sites apart from this one and social media sites.
The other ones I occasionally use, I act exactly the same. What's the point in acting differently?
I have trolled people on Chatroullete with a friend for fun and got into arguments with people on some sites through their Facebook feed a few times which is about it.

I always have names completely different and post on completely different topics per profile.
As for personality, I tend to try to be as nice as possible, until I get too annoyed and get sarcastic.

I tend to act similar to i do in RL .
Don't see the point in alter egos, I'm pretty tolerant, &just block arseholes. Also I'm always Mr Ink 5000

You must be sleep deprived quite a lot, then. #OhSnap! #Burn #Pwnagesky14kemea said:
In all seriousness, I'm relatively consistent everywhere I go, internet-wise.
I'm not really sure what my "persona" is like on here. I'm not sure if I'm the same here as I am IRL. I mean, I think I am, but the very nature of text-based communication and the relative anonymity I am afforded here probably make me a little bit more tactless. Maybe. Maybe the fact that I can double-check what I'm saying makes me more tactful?
I'm pretty much the same here as everywhere else, I think. Except when I used to hang out on 4chan and just joined the hive for the fuck of it. There's almost no chance of any reasonable discussion in most of the boards I went in (/v/ and /b/ mostly) so I thought "fuck it" and joined the stupidity. I think that's what most people do their; it's fun to act like an idiot without consequences sometimes.
I understand some of the other boards can be a bit more reasonable, though. What I've seen of /mu/ isn't too bad.

YouTube is probably how I vent pure, diskishness that I can't use on the kind of obvious trolls that post here after being a member for a whole day and get banned shortly after
I'm much more pleasant on my knowyourmeme account but the whole atmosphere of the site in general is pretty pleasant because there isn't a whole lot to argue about other than "is this a meme?" which quickly responded with "maybe. Lets wait and see". If anyone tries to start a flame war on a current event article it usually doesn't get too heated and often people delete their comments after the fact
I guess I'm more close to this account because I'm addicted to sarcasm but I'm generally polite until people push my buttons

I mostly stay the same unless I'm going for trolling, in which case I mix it up depending on what I feel causes the most havoc.
No, I'm probably the nicest while I'm on here. XD Or the rare cases when I want to get to know someone on a different website. It doesn't say much, but considering that I go to 4chan to hate on christians, americans, etc. I'm actually pretty decent here. I have a FB, but I barely use it for anything else than spamming music videos and liking stuff, so I remember what I've watched before.
I wouldn't say that I'm the closest to my real life self here. Quite a lot of people think I'm a girl for one, but I do have a few friends on this site, who does know what I'm really like.

Yep, the intention of most of my posts are to give my opinion on things, usually video games, in a way that is hard to argue with. I like to think i take the time to explain and give evidence enough on subjects that instead of getting angry replies, people agree with me instead.
The only difference here is that i end up chiming in on random political topics because it doesn't happen anywhere else i go.

i always have been, and always will be myself. i don't consider nor apply the anonymity of the net as something to use as cover from which to throw shit.
I am much, much ruder to my own mother than I am to people on most forums. At least she's used to it, I guess.
I would say it is hard to be someone other than myself. Guess I shouldn't get into acting.
I guess I mix it up a bit just because on different websites the expectations of my behavior and culture are different. Eliciting a different response from me depending the place.
I do try to mix it up a bit, just because I'm paranoid the internet is stalking me. With good reason, my culture instilled paranoia. My parents taught me that God is always watching. Kids made rumors about me in high school. And the United States government is apparently spying on me. It isn't paranoid to think you're always being watched when you probably are. Or at least people have been telling me I'm being watched since I was a kid.
It feels like if I act is an overly unique and obviously me fashion on every website, people will connect the dots. Illogical? Yes. Paranoid? Yes. But I've been raised in a paranoia instilling society. I try to act at least a little different everywhere I go. I also use different usernames.
Because if you don't. You're going to get into an argument on the internet. And someone will use something you said on a forum 5 years ago to ridicule you in an internet debate today. And then they'll show it to the mods. And then the mods will be like "oh I don't like you". And it's just a whole mess I'd just rather avoid. Different usernames everywhere.
I'm pretty much the same everywhere though because I fail at being anything other than me.
