I don’t want to be lured into a false sense of anonymity. It’s pretty easy to find a person if they post enough. Plus I’m using my own instance, which makes it trivial to find me.
On top of that it’s a remnant from my Usenet days. In Germany it was expected to use your real name. Actually strange, considering Germany’s hacker culture and strict sense of privacy.

I never use my picture or real name for anything. I don’t have social media, so it’s not that crazy.
But for no reason at all, i do it on steam. The only platform where no one uses their name and picture.
