Definitely. Something about this format that, even though there's a username attached, still allows an aspect of anonymity. It doesn't really feel like a community yet. Even if I recognize the username it's just kind of the same feeling I got from reddit. This place is a dozen times more welcoming and the conversation is nowhere near the level of shit that reddit is but yeah, you're right, I really associate the avatars with an actual person as weird as that may sound.

Even when replying to posts like this and us engaging in a discussion still feels kind of disassociated. Back when I first started using reddit I never liked the format but I just ended up adjusting to it. Shit, I'd keep talking but gotta get ready for work. Have a good day, comrade.
