I use my real identity (or close enough so that people can easily guess) on IT websites like Github, HN, Stack Exchange, and a few other IT-related forums. After all, unless I say anything terribly stupid, it's all going to be part of my resume one day. I'm sure many of you would want to hire a techie with a decent track record on those sites if other things were equal. On non-IT websites, I use completely unrelated identities. For example, there's no reason for random redditors to know who I am. Even though there's probably enough data out there to associate specific reddit accounts with me, it's none of the business of random redditors and there's no need to pique their curiosity. Actually that's a fine principle: if it's none of their business to know who I am, it's none of my business to tell them who I am.
