I think it's better as a pseudononymous user. That's for the same reason I think the internet in general is better when people use pseudonyms rather than tying their 'real' identity to everything: 1. It means we can say what we really think about something rather than purely what's acceptable to the court of social media/public opinion. Having your 'real' identity public online now seems like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off at the worst possible moment. 2. And it forces people to judge you based on your words rather than your personal characteristics/backstory/appearance. That's a huge benefit that people seem to take for granted now, and one that'd probably make the offline world better if it was the norm there. Of course, I'm also personally rather paranoid and try to avoid posting personal information online in general (eh, I took the whole 'don't give out too much information online' thing from the 80s/90s pretty seriously), so take it as you will.
