Why would you want your real identity tied to online persona? That doesn’t make a ton of sense.

That kind of thing is sometimes suggested as a solution to reduce online disagreements, but in fact just escalate spitballings to murders and gang wars. Not great, in my opinion.

There’s a ton of people here who use their real name or it is trivial to deduce and I’ve yet to hear of a HN gang war.

What do you mean rust isn’t the best thing since sliced bread? <calls hitman>
