As a counterpoint to myself, I also agree with the link below. There are good reasons for and against using real names. I do not mean to paint with too wide a brush; all free people are and should always be able to decide for themselves whether to use their name or a pseudonym, and readers are usually able to tell why authors do so from context. It gets a bit muddy where social media comes into play, which is why this debate will never be over, and why there is no one right answer. I hope I didn’t come off as someone imposing my choice on others. I simply think there are more downsides than upsides for readers when it comes to pseudonymous authors; however, some texts will never be written under an author’s real name for perfectly legitimate or no reason, and the world would be diminished if those voices were not also heard, and those stories not told.
