No one is forced to create a connection between their real identity to their account. I don't know why people insist on doing it and then later wanting to undo it.
In fact, if you don't want your anonymous account tied to you anymore in any way, sell it off to someone else. I bought this account for $500.
- lhuser123 9y agoOk, I don’t understand. Why would you buy that account?
- softawre 9y agoWhy did you buy that account for 500$? And are you saying that the previous owner of the account is the one who didn't want it tied to him anymore, so he sold it to you (and you are therefore providing an anonymizing service to him?).
- matte_black 9y agoKnew the owner in real life. I liked the name and didn’t want to start off with an empty account with no karma. It’s mutual anonymization.
- ufmace 9y agoTrouble is how many connections you might have created accidentally. If you combine all of someone's posts together, many people have revealed enough information in total to figure out their true identity. Especially if they have a unique, google-able username that they have used on several different sites on different subjects, and you combine everything they've said on every site. Of course, there are ways to throw some dirt into those gears, like posting fake details or trading/selling accounts every now and then...
