I recommend you do the same.
- edent 7y agoWhich is great, until the Tepix on Twittergram starts posting violent messages - and then you get conflated with them. Having a unified identity is a risk - but having a unique identity is not risk-free.
- Tepix 7y agoI find that hard to believe. However just in case that's why in my profile i mention this very fact. Looking at your .tel page i can tell that you don't have any issues with being tracked all over the internet.
- edent 7y agoYes, I tend to post stuff that I'm happy with under my real name. For other stuff, I take your approach and use diverse aliases.
- rotated_name 7y agoI rotate usernames on sites that I don't want to be tied to me professionally or that I don't intend to spend money with, like reddit. My fav. trick is to do some random password I'll never remember and whenever the site decides to log me out then so be it.
- driverdan 7y agoI use the same name everywhere possible (driverdan) for anything I want publically associated with my real identity. If I want something anonymous I use a different name. This lets me control my online identity.
- Tepix 7y agoFor those occasions I just use my real name.
