I’ve been exploring the Fediverse for a bit, and I really like that different instances can interact with each other. But that also leads to some oddities, like how the culture on each instance treats anonymity.

On Reddit, most accounts were anonymous. Personally I always tried to keep any personally identifying information to a minimum.

On Twitter, many accounts are just [Firstname][Lastname], in fact many of the accounts I follow are because of who they are IRL.

In the Fediverse, these different cultures can interact with one another. Kbin users can interact with Mastodon users, etc. I’m just wondering how Kbin users feel about anonymity. Would you be distrustful of an anonymous user? Would you avoid posting personal information incase of doxxing?

    If your accounts are on different instances (with different admins who aren’t sharing logs, it would be weird if they were) then I don’t think there is anything to correlate beyond analyzing the writing style.

    AcitivtyPub doesn’t forward on metadata like “what IP address sent this”.
