It just hit me.
If you were to meet your online friends, would you call them by their handle or their real names?
I’d imagine the former being weird as fuck. If someone IRL called me Cactus, I’d freak out.

But cactus, it’d be weird for the person to start calling you by your actual name, instead of your handle.
