If I were doing it over again, part of me thinks all my SN participation is a mistake, because a motivated attacker could figure out my identity. But another part of me is like: basically everything I value about being here is a function of building actual relationships and feeling like this is a real place that I care about. Having some Batman-like identity that doesn't reflect actual-me would be ... sad. Is that really how you want to live?
Tradeoffs, tradeoffs.
As probably yourself, I wouldn't do anything different but I am slowly accepting that I can't keep my face and name unlinked to this nym I use forever (even though I recently changed it) but I will at least try to give me as much time as possible to prepare for that moment where I will probably just do ... nothing. Not confirm or deny anything, just continue living as if nothing happened since that's how people should react to it: nothing happened and nothing to see, please keep moving and forget whatever you saw.
Feels like even typing this out compromises my plan but oh well.
Tradeoffs, tradeoffs.
