   @evan No, for the same reason I don't put my irc channel memberships in my work email signature.

     @penryu OK. I was hoping it was for a cool reason, like that your IRC channel names were also escape codes for SMTP that cause unpatched qmail servers to forkbomb.

     @evan Assuming this is for pedagogical reasons, consider also: inviting your boss to your sibling's birthday, or your children into board meetings.

     My social accounts (Twitter and Mastodon) are for me, to post what interests me. I choose to use them predominantly for tech. My personal experiments with ReasonML or Kubernetes should not be construed as an endorsement by (nor for) my employer/client. Posting to LinkedIn could reasonably be.

     @evan Ah, nothing so enviably cool. They're usually social channels with names that increasingly resemble secure passwords to avoid excessive spam bots.

     But I had the nick q[vegeta] in #perl for a while. I was somewhat proud of that.
