Separate Social media?

[Drew GB]

Does anyone, wether out or not, have a separate social media account for your femme persona? Now to be clear I am not asking anyone to reveal any account info I just want to know if you have it or have thought about it?

I Have a dedicated E-mail and other accounts for Andy but I am slightly worried about people I know getting links to them. Of course I could just say it’s not me and or my identity was hacked or it was a joke played on me by a friend. Just in case. But then I may just own up to it depending on how I feel.

Thoughts?

To keep your social media accounts as separate as possible, follow the steps below.

1. Use a different browser for each account (e.g., Firefox and Chrome)
2. Use a different email provider for each account (e.g., yahoo and gmail) with very different email names
3. Do not like or share the same people, companies, organizations, etc. with both accounts
4. Do not post the same pictures in both accounts
5. If being extra careful, clear your browser history, cache and cookies after each time you visit either account. You can do this with only one browser if you do not want to keep losing saved login and password info.

Melissa Rose is right on all counts.
Thats the way I have been doing it for years.
One tip as well on your female page block your male account and that should do it.

I follow most of that except for the separate browsers as I do most of this on my phone. Funny now I look at it I wonder if this is somehow illeagal. LOL

[Tracii G]

No different than 2 people using the same computer at the same house and one uses one browser and the other likes a different one.

I never felt a strong burning desire to post pictures of me in a dress on the internet. That makes it easy to avoid excuses and difficult for people finding anything.

I have never been big about social media but want to setup a Facebook account for my female life. I I don't have Facebook at all so I won't have to worry about my acct.
Melissa thank you for your helpful tips for new browser and email

It is not so much of posting pics but after going out I have made new friends and they have asked if I (Andy) had a FB acct so tonight I made one. I just want to keep in touch with my new girlfriends.

[Ressie]

Using separate browsers is a good idea. I didn't think of that.

[Karen RHT]

Wife doesn't use our pc, has her own phone, and never looks at mine. I use a completely different email service for Karen. Neither of us use social media.

Others can tag you in posts and photos so they show up in your FB timeline thus you do not have complete control over it. You can disallow friends from tagging you or posting to your timeline but that sort of defeats some of the purpose of having a FB page. Only tag those you really want to see your posts or pictures. Be selective about who you have as FB friends. Some people "friend" any and everyone. Pay attention to your mutual FB friends. That now connects three people or more people.

Since I have transitioned, it has been years since I've had two FB pages. Some common sense and a bit of knowledge goes a long way in keeping parts of the your on-line lives separate regardless of the reasons for it.

I use different servers, (providers), for my 2 FB accounts and 2 email accounts. So far, it's been over 10 years with no glitches or cross overs to date!

35 Friends on my FB page. Over a thousand on Sherrys!

[Tracii G]

I agree don't friend someone just to get you number of friends up be selective on who you accept as a "friend".
There are lots of low life people that will try and "friend" you so be careful.
Its not a competition to see who has the most friends or the most "likes" just be selective is all I'm saying.

[Milly1410]

I use separate accounts too, with the difference that I don't use separate softwares to "divide" them.

[mbmeen12]

Wonderful ideas and I too use one for business and other for Kara time. Browser is new to me.....thx

[Tracii G]

I enjoy my girl FB more than my guy one and I have lots of friends from here on my girl page.

[Beverley Sims]

This is as social that I get with media.

I don't get many likes here. :-)

[Majella St Gerard]

I only have the one Facebook page and only one e-mail account. My days of hiding are OVER. I don't care what other people think of me, I'm not doing anything illegal and I'm confident enough to "own it". If people search and check me out they will then know my hobby. Life's too short to live in the closet hiding who I am.

[Drew GB]

More power to you and I hope to be there some day as well but I’m not quite there. I guess this brings me to a different Selena and one I have been fighting with for about as long as I can remember and that is honesty. I could get into it here but I don’t want to bury the needle here so I may start a new thread. Basically I don’t want to lie to anyone but I don’t know if I want them to find out as well which may mean telling a fib or two. This is a very tricky and fine line to tread.

[Tracii G]

You don't have to lie to anyone you just don't need to tell them everything if you don't want to.
They don't tell you everything about them do they so why do you have to?
You do whats right for you.

Just like here, I have separate accounts which do not link to my real life identity. I don't want some lunatic showing up at my front door because I disagreed with them in an online debate.

[Tabitha_Lynn]

I have separate accounts, too. I use separate browsers and apps for access. I also set my privacy setti gs very specifically to limit who sees and can friend my accounts.

[Frannie7]

I use private browsing mode whenever doing anything related to my femme self. I have heard about separate FB accounts finding themselves do I avoid that. I have a separate email for Frannie and the only "social" media I use are this site and the Discord server. I have several friends there I chat with.

When I opened my Facebook account I did it from a computer. No phone number was required. I suspect opening an account using a cell phone or a tablet might require the phone number. As others have suggested, use different browsers and different email addresses. Don't "friend" either account from the other. Avoid pictures to make things more difficult for Facebook's facial recognition.

[Alice_2014_B]

I have a separate email, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter for my fem-self.
But I never use the separate FB.
My fem YT and Twitter are way more popular than my regular ones.

Here is my YouTube, "Alice Bridge":

My Twitter is also on my profile here.
