Reincarnate, I understand and side with your opinion, but nowadays most big companies will check FB for job hunters and use social media sites as a background check. I don't know why since most people get their jobs the same way as usual, maybe with a Linkedin account thrown in.

Wait... if serious, then holy fucking shit.

Anyways, I do what everyone else does. I have one email that's for ALL my social media like this and Youtube and Twitch and wherever the heck else.

I have another email that's strictly for professional/business. As in, if I want to an email from an employer or my boss, I want them to use that.

'Cause ya know... my email that I use for social media sites is kind of "dohoho" if ya know what I'm saying.

In this case, your employer is Sherlock motherfuckin' Holmes.

I thought it was clear enough that this is the case but I guess I should clarify. That has not actually happened to me.

If anything, an employer would have to be digging REALLY fucking deep to find those posts in the first place, haha
