I've stopped engaging in many places online over the last few years. The reason for me is that engaging with a pseudonym has become the exception rather than the rule.

The evolution of identity on the internet is an interesting one. In the 90s, using your real name was considered absurd. Now it's the standard. Maybe you'll also have a pseudonym in your handle, but the majority of people use their real name on most of their social media.

Certain communities retain pseudonymous, such as a good portion of Hacker News and Reddit. Although, I see many people posting more and more revealing information on Reddit these days, as it leans towards becoming like Twitter and Facebook.
