I‘d like to know: Do you use your real name on other Social Media instances? How do your comments differ from the ones you make public from those ones made anonymous?

Never. I have a very rare first Name and the kombination with my last Name is unique. I also have cut contact with my abusive family so I don't want them to find me.

Exactly opposite in my case. My First last name in combination with the city I'm live in and year of birth is still far from sufficient to make the link. It has become a real superpower
