When I made this account, that was just what you did as part of the online culture. You picked a cool username and built a persona around it.
Now it’s just basic OpSec to never associate anything with your real name unless it makes you look good and you can take it down later when the cultural tides change and that stops being true. I have several pseudonyms, one or more for each online community I participate in. This makes it far harder for people to tie together bits of information that they could use against me.
