> security through obscurity is ill advisable unless one remains obscure 
the risk exists obviously but it´s simply that you have a lesser chance to get noticed out there. Also, one would have to read entire paragraphs for a good while. Good luck if they spend time on reading these posts.

> A few allusions to sensitive personal topics sometimes mixed in with mlp contnet is not much for me to sweat over.
well, if there is something that I have learned from ponyposting is that they soften the discussion a lot, hence /mlpol/ still exists and found an unexpected dynamic with them. So yeah, there is always some kind of entertainment in between the lines. 

> The big part was when I realized how it sounded like I how I hated how I had worded it and thought it felt a little too much to allude to and the fact that it was such a social media thing to do.
self criticism and fixing the problem one set up. I mean, social media´s method has been pretty successful at what they do. However, you are not willing to do that and that´s alright. If you are tired of social media, you know that you can use that method any day.

> I would take 4chan over the main social media sites anyday. 
it´s the alternative social media these days, systematically speaking. 

> I've got smaller alt chans and other rabbit holes Internet communities that you can go to fill out social media topics in a healthier atmosphere. 
yeah, that´s why forums and imageboards exists. Also they show another side of the coin that people wouldn´t show up so often on social media. 

However, I think social media have caught up pretty fast and are wilder and edgier reactions at a certain events (especially political ones) than you would get from these small places. In theory, one uses anonymity to express more anger and frustrations but what I have seen from certain accounts, they just blow out of the park the usual shitposts you see on 4chan, to the point where one gets to investigate them and could perfectly report it to the police. 

And let me tell you, I have cringed and seen crazier people around there than the imageboards. Unless we talk about /b/,/pol/ or /tv/, political reactions beat the rest of the boards. I am setting myself fire to the public but in 4 years and a half that I´ve stayed in the community, I have not seen that edge or chaos here than on Twitter...in theory bronies are the cringy people. That´s true for the sexual/lewd jokes around random threads and certain autistic reactions that shitposters repeat again and again but most fans filter those emotions through art (ships, OCs, fetishes, etc), the show or fanfiction which is respectable. 

As for the rest, even at their worst, the main sites I know from this fanbase are pretty mild in comparison.  

That´s saying a lot and you won´t see me saying these words all the time.
