      If I were gonna write pseudonymously, I would not choose My First Name + Middle Name as the pseudonym. That would just be asking to be caught out. *Especially* if I also published about similar topics under My First Name + Last Name, and all three names were easy to find out.

      Or if you start out with a rando blog that gains national attention that you never expected?

      I made this decision way back in the ’90s, when I first started out online. Do I want to put the effort into keeping a distinct online identity, or not? I decided not, because I knew real pseudonymity took a lot of effort. Even when I started my rando blog in 1998.

      Moreover, it puts a cap on how successful you can get By the time people are actually citing your blog in mainstream articles and you have actual famous people among your fans, you've probably got to make a choice either to hang it up or to come out

      I'm trying to think of exceptions and there aren't many Even pseudonymous writers back when information traveled at the speed of horseback were usually outed surprisingly quickly (George Eliot came out after writing her very first book)

      Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, outed himself a couple of years after the editorial. Who knows if he could have kept it secret longer, or if he’d have lasted that long with a weekly column? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/28/us/politics/miles-taylor-anonymous-trump.html …pic.twitter.com/9Ra28jEotT

      A one off piece is pretty easy to keep anonymous. It's when you continue operating under the pseudonym that the breadcrumbs eventually pile up even if you don't make mistakes.

      Pretty crazy that the mainstream opinion is apparently "if your real name is outed, that's on you" and not "that's on the outers." We've become so anti-GamerGate that we've gone back around to just being GamerGate.

      Yeah one of the things people noticed back when GG happened in 2014 is it drove a huge flood of traffic to a "free speech, total anonymity" haven, 8chan, which later became known for being the HQ for Qanon

      It was already known previously for being a hotbed of child pornography, its main reason for existence as a "refuge" from 4chan in the first place Shockingly, when you promise to provide the strongest anonymity protections technologically possible, that's what you get

          The chans grasped that the only way to maintain anonymity is to make it impossible to maintain identity. Even Q got identified

          This is actually probably the most compelling counter-argument: I would not give a shit if the current Q's identity were revealed, even though nothing they have written falls outside the boundaries of freedom of speech. Ya got me.
