@zoomgoboom @nekofag Ultimately it depends on your situation. If you live in a country with internet censorship laws, or you have controversial views while still having a conventional job, then yes hiding your real name is a good idea. Likewise, if you are already famous then it makes sense to go by your real name. You can always create other accounts that aren't attached to your real ID.

I honestly don't know why people would give a fuck if other people go by their real name. It's their choice and they assume the risk. As long as other people still have the choice to be (pseudo)-anonymous, who cares?
