I have not been active on chat groups for 20 years now, give or take, but I have been an anonymous user of both this website and of reddit for 15 years now, with varying levels of success. Were these 2 websites to ask me for my real identity I would just ditch them (even though, if one looks close enough, one can get to my real name by following some links to my projects I posted some time ago) > If you really didn't care, there's a forum out there that works like that I'm not really interested in the identity of people posting here, the same goes for reddit. As I said, I have been quite happy with this state of things for 15 years now. They might decide to change it going forward, but, then again, there's always other anonymous forums somewhere on the web. Related to this, interesting how things have changed compared to, when was it?, 2012-2014?, i.e. when Google was pushing for the "real identity" stuff for their Google+ users. I remember the backlash from back then, almost none of it has remained.
