In a world where activists launch shitstorms against you on twitter if they don't like something you do or say, there much reason to never go public with your real name.

- skinnymuch 5y agoCan you give some examples of this happening to “nobodies” in the sense of [internet] fame or clout? Also not if the media riled things up too. I’m sure this stuff happens but I’m not around the places people keep saying this happens (usually Twitter). I’ve only seen examples of people who were internet famous or some other reasons that wouldn’t overlap with a casual GitHub user.
