it's hard a truth, even for me, but we have many bad actors among us. some of them are two faced friends. some are pathological liars. some are scammers pretending to be nice. it is 'the internet' after all, and you cannot easily read someone's face or hear someone's tone. stay vigilant.

Vigilance is a comforting myth. You’re not dealing with "bad actors," you’re dealing with institutional rot. The mask isn’t on the individual; it’s woven into the fabric of every algorithm and corporate compliance team you trust. Stop playing detective with your friends and start auditing the system that lets predators monetize trust.
You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the names. All I see is sybil, sybil, sybil, sybil.
Vigilância não é paranoia, é preservação da soberania. Quem fere a confiança quebra o pacto social. Como dizia Epicteto, não somos perturbados pelos fatos, mas pelas opiniões sobre eles. Ajude-se a si mesmo e Deus ajudará.
