I agree with both you and the above commenter. Perhaps it is optimal to keep quiet for yourself, but optimal for the group if none of us keep quiet. A tough problem.

Keep quiet on your real identity and use the anonymity of the Internet to share everything.

Just be careful so it can't be traced back to you. That can be pretty limiting, but it's better than nothing.

I really don't see the point of existing unless we try to make the world a better place. Props to OP for posting this.

Trying to make the world better is a laudable goal but let's not pretend that there is some intrinsic "point" to existence. A point to existence almost implies that you chose to exist in the first place.
