Steem is a peculiar place filled with all kinds of folks from all walks of life that have no inclination to reveal their true nature. It's the age of avatars and filters.
B-to-the-ingo. It's annoying for me to play along with some people's filtered online persona, but eventually the cream rises to the top and genuine human form peeks through (which I enjoy seeing).
Alternatively, some people are genuine on Steemit because it's public, but have two faces in smaller groups/tribes on Discord. That irks me quite a bit.
