I didn’t want to name any names in this post because my status on LW puts me in a kinda position of power.
Have you considered using a different pseudonym for each post, and never decloaking any of the names?
The social implications of such a practice would interact with the existence of the anti-kibitzer, I think; it would amount to forcing others to experience (some) antikibitz features even if they had chosen not to. On the other hand, if the anti-kibitzer didn’t already exist, I probably would have advocated writer-side over reader-side implementation/enforcement of pseudonymity.
I think people have more reasons to trust a post like this if they know it’s coming from someone who got actual results. As for my more mathy posts, their style is probably so distinctive that using a pseudonym would be futile.
