How have online communities affected the ways their users construct, view, and define their identity? In this paper, we will approach this issue by considering two philosophical sets of problems related to personal identity: the “Characterization Question” and the “Self-Other Relations Question.” Since these queries have traditionally brought out different problems around the concept of identity, here we aim at rethinking them in the framework of online communities. To do so, we will adopt an externalist and cognitive point of view on online communities, describing them as virtual cognitive niches. We will evaluate and agree with the Attachment Theory of Identity, arguing that there is continuity between offline and online identity and that usually the latter contributes to the alteration of the former. Finally, we will discuss ways users can enact self-reflection on online frameworks, considering the impact of the Filter Bubble and the condition of Bad Faith.

在线身份危机在线社区中的身份问题

在线社区如何影响其用户构建、查看和定义其身份的方式？在本文中，我们将通过考虑与个人身份相关的两组哲学问题来解决这个问题：“特征问题”和“自我他者关系问题”。由于这些查询传统上会围绕身份概念带来不同的问题，因此我们的目标是在在线社区的框架内重新思考它们。为此，我们将对在线社区采用外在主义和认知的观点，将其描述为虚拟认知利基。我们将评估并同意身份依恋理论，认为离线和在线身份之间存在连续性，通常后者有助于前者的改变。最后，
