That’s why I mostly use pseudonymous channels these days, like this one. I treat everything I say with my real name like I’m publishing it on the front page of the New York Times and submitting three copies to the Library of Congress.

Many fewer of my current associates hear any real thoughts of mine compared to 20 years ago. I used to get into all kinds of arguments like Stallman’s, on public email lists, which thankfully haven’t surfaced online (yet).

Wait until the AIs get a little better at forensics. Might not be wise to post comments you wouldn't want to come back at you at a forum that doesn't let you delete them, pseudonymous - for now - or not.

It is something I've thought more about in recent years and have pulled back on what I say even pseudonymously.

Sad to have to limit yourself in this fashion but you know it's coming.

That would be stalking, a criminal offense. And GDPR is must have too.

In what jurisdiction is ascertaining someone’s identity from their public posts criminal stalking? Certainly not mine (California).

Ascertaining identity is not stalking, but ascertaining identity via stalking (unrestrained targeted data collection) is stalking.

Isn't that just indicative of the sad state of things.
