I just responded to a post of another member. Then my eye caught something. I slowly went over the body of the message, irrelavent to this post, and when I got to the bottom I realised I actually saw it: option to post the body of the message to facebook, Twitter, and a couple of other social network sites.......without the consent of the author of the post, obviously. Why is not personal consent respected on DS as it used to be before all these changes, this one among them, were made to the site?

Look at what my best friend did with my picture!

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.

I think DS does a pretty good job trying to educate its members about privacy and to explain the difference between anonymity vs privacy, public content vs profile content, etc.
.
I don't think it makes a person dishonest to create a user name that is different from their real name. Anonymity does not equate dishonesty. If it did, that would make members of AA dishonest, which is hardly the case. Also DS strongly SUGGESTS using an anonymous username (see FAQ regarding creating an account).
Outside of the privacy protection component, if I become friendly with someone on DS, in private messages I will use my first name but I can tell you that I've grown quite close to, shared my deepest feelings and fears with, and have had the deepest fellowship with many members on DS over the years and yet, never knew their real name, nor have they known mine. I think AA even says that anonymity is a reminder to place principles before personalities. I like thinking about it that way.
Just have to be prepared to only discuss what you don#t mind sharing with the world wide web.
