#2nice. here is my idea....
i was online from my pre teens time. i actually had to wait a 'few' years to get my own email address. back then, there was no "social media", no algorithm and you were taught to not give your real "A/S/L" because people could track you down and hurt you and all that. oh the days.
i adopted this randomuser handle, not linking my accounts from one service with another, not reusing handles, not having google/FB/apple accounts, it takes time and energy.
anonymity on the internet is a wonderful thing really. forget the abusers and stuff, moderation is for that. when you consider the real problem of doxing, you appreciate the benefits of using anoymous handles.
>Everyone knows, abstractly, that the internet is not real life. But you can’t picture it, not really, until you sit across from the real people behind the screen. Even the darkest online personalities are just people on their phones. It is oddly disappointing to meet the “worst person on the internet” and find that they are nothing at all.
we call if "AFK" and not "IRL"

Someone could use my writing style to link my online identities together. How does that help them doxx me when there is nothing written under my real name?

I have a terminal application that i wrote that rewrites all text that i plan to write to have a neutral tone. so i type the comment, put it into the terminal application, it rewrites the comment, and then i post that instead.

a culture which, in her parting sentence, she reveals to be the sum

You don't need to give out your name and address to be doxxed, there's enough information from your comments across your accounts to reasonably identify you if someone wanted.
MIT did a study on 'anonymised' data and found out it only took something like 2 data points to identify someone.

#10I thought this sounded familiar, and sure enough[1].
Edit: To make it explicit, which Palladium notably fails to do: this person is a reactionary and has a history of encouraging young girls to commit suicide.
